In preparation for inserting mark_dependence instructions for lifetime
dependencies early, immediately after SILGen. That will simplify the
implementation of borrowed arguments.
Marking them unresolved is needed to make OSSA verification
conservative until lifetime dependence diagnostics runs.
Optionally, the dependency to the initialization of the global can be specified with a dependency token `depends_on <token>`.
This is usually a `builtin "once"` which calls the initializer for the global variable.
The dependent 'value' may be marked 'nonescaping', which guarantees that the
lifetime dependence is statically enforceable. In this case, the compiler
must be able to follow all values forwarded from the dependent 'value', and
recognize all final (non-forwarded, non-escaping) use points. This implies
that `findPointerEscape` is false. A diagnostic pass checks that the
incoming SIL to verify that these use points are all initially within the
'base' lifetime. Regular 'mark_dependence' semantics ensure that
optimizations cannot violate the lifetime dependence after diagnostics.
Layers:
- FunctionConvention: AST FunctionType: results, parameters
- ArgumentConventions: SIL function arguments
- ApplyOperandConventions: applied operands
The meaning of an integer index is determined by the collection
type. All the mapping between the various indices (results,
parameters, SIL argument, applied arguments) is restricted to the
collection type that owns that mapping. Remove the concept of a
"caller argument index".
* `alloc_vector`: allocates an uninitialized vector of elements on the stack or in a statically initialized global
* `vector`: creates an initialized vector in a statically initialized global
`BorrowIntroducingInstruction` is a protocol to which all instructions conform which start a borrow-scope which must be ended by `EndBorrowInst` instructions: `begin_borrow`, `load_borrow` and `store_borrow`
Introduce two modes of bridging:
* inline mode: this is basically how it worked so far. Using full C++ interop which allows bridging functions to be inlined.
* pure mode: bridging functions are not inlined but compiled in a cpp file. This allows to reduce the C++ interop requirements to a minimum. No std/llvm/swift headers are imported.
This change requires a major refactoring of bridging sources. The implementation of bridging functions go to two separate files: SILBridgingImpl.h and OptimizerBridgingImpl.h.
Depending on the mode, those files are either included in the corresponding header files (inline mode), or included in the c++ file (pure mode).
The mode can be selected with the BRIDGING_MODE cmake variable. By default it is set to the inline mode (= existing behavior). The pure mode is only selected in certain configurations to work around C++ interop issues:
* In debug builds, to workaround a problem with LLDB's `po` command (rdar://115770255).
* On windows to workaround a build problem.
For chains of async functions where suspensions can be statically
proven to never be required, this pass removes all suspensions and
turns the functions into synchronous functions.
For example, this function does not actually require any suspensions,
once the correct executor is acquired upon initial entry:
```
func fib(_ n: Int) async -> Int {
if n <= 1 { return n }
return await fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
}
```
So we can turn the above into this for better performance:
```
func fib() async -> Int {
return fib_sync()
}
func fib_sync(_ n: Int) -> Int {
if n <= 1 { return n }
return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
}
```
while rewriting callers of `fib` to use the `sync` entry-point
when we can prove that it will be invoked on a compatible executor.
This pass is currently experimental and under development. Thus, it
is disabled by default and you must use
`-enable-experimental-async-demotion` to try it.
This instructions marks the point where all let-fields of a class are initialized.
This is important to ensure the correctness of ``ref_element_addr [immutable]`` for let-fields,
because in the initializer of a class, its let-fields are not immutable, yet.
Codegen is the same, but `begin_dealloc_ref` consumes the operand and produces a new SSA value.
This cleanly splits the liferange to the region before and within the destructor of a class.
I was originally hoping to reuse mark_must_check for multiple types of checkers.
In practice, this is not what happened... so giving it a name specifically to do
with non copyable types makes more sense and makes the code clearer.
Just a pure rename.
For a redundant pair of pointer-address conversions, e.g.
%2 = address_to_pointer %1
%3 = pointer_to_address %2 [strict]
replace all uses of %3 with %1.
A begin_apply can yield multiple addresses. We need to store the result of the apply in order to distinguish between two AccessBases with different results from the same begin_apply.
`ownership` is a bad name in `LoadInst`, because it hides `Value.ownership`.
Therefore rename it to `loadOwnership`.
Do the same for ownership in StoreInst to be consistent.
The `bare` attribute indicates that the object header is not used throughout the lifetime of the value.
This means, no reference counting operations are performed on the object and its metadata is not used.
The header of bare objects doesn't need to be initialized.

Look through `upcast` and `init_existential_ref` instructions and replace the operand of this cast instruction with the original value.
For example:
```
%2 = upcast %1 : $Derived to $Base
%3 = init_existential_ref %2 : $Base : $Base, $AnyObject
checked_cast_br %3 : $AnyObject to Derived, bb1, bb2
```
This makes it more likely that the cast can be constant folded because the source operand's type is more accurate.
In the example above, the cast reduces to
```
checked_cast_br %1 : $Derived to Derived, bb1, bb2
```
which can be trivially folded to always-succeeds.
