Before this commit we only checked the conformance of the first protocol that
matched the conformance entry, which is incorrect. We need to check all of the
entries that match the key before deciding that a type does not conform to a
protocol.
This commit fixes repl_conformance_lookup.swift
This change cuts the number of mallocs() in the metadata caches in half.
The current metadata cache data structure uses a linked list for each entry in
the tree to handle collissions. This means that we need at least two memory
allocations for each entry, one for the tree node and one for the linked list
node.
This commit changes the map used by the metadata caches from an open hash map
(that embeds a linked list at each entry) into an closed map that uses a
different hash value for each entry. With this change we no longer accept
collissions and it is now the responsibility of the user to prevent collissions.
The new get/trySet API makes this responsibility explicit. The new design also
goes well with the current design where hashing is done externally and the fact
that we don't save the full key, just the hash and the value to save memory.
This change reduces the number of allocated objects per entry in half. Instead
of allocating two 32-byte objects (one for the tree node and one for the linked
list) we just allocate a single entry that contains the hash and the value.
Unfortunately, values that are made of two 64-bit pointers (like protocol
conformance entries) are now too big for the 32-byte tree entry and are rounded
up to 48 bytes. In practice this is not a big deal because malloc has 48-byte pool
entries.
This comes with a fix for a null pointer dereference in _typeByName()
that would pop with foreign classes that do not have a
NominalTypeDescriptor.
Also, I decided to back out part of the change for now, where the
NominalTypeDescriptor references an accessor function instead of a
pattern, since this broke LLDB, which reaches into the pattern to
get the generic cache.
Soon we will split off the generic cache from the pattern, and at
that time we can change the NominalTypeDescriptor to point at the
cache. But for now, let's avoid needless churn in LLDB by keeping
that part of the setup unchanged.
Change conformance records to reference NominalTypeDescriptors instead of
metadata patterns for resilient or generic types.
For a resilient type, we don't know if the metadata is constant or not,
so we can't directly reference either constant metadata or the metadata
template.
Also, whereas previously NominalTypeDescriptors would point to the
metadata pattern, they now point to the metadata accessor function.
This allows the recently-added logic for instantiating concrete types
by name to continue working.
In turn, swift_initClassMetadata_UniversalStrategy() would reach into
the NominalTypeDescriptor to get the pattern out, so that its bump
allocator could be used to allocate ivar tables. Since the pattern is
no longer available this way, we have to pass it in as a parameter.
In the future, we will split off the read-write metadata cache entry
from the pattern; then swift_initClassMetadata_UniversalStrategy() can
just take a pointer to that, since it doesn't actually need anything
else from the pattern.
Since Clang doesn't guarantee alignment for function pointers, I had
to kill the cute trick that packed the NominalTypeKind into the low
bits of the relative pointer to the pattern; instead the kind is now
stored out of line. We could fix this by packing it with some other
field, or keep it this way in case we add new flags later.
Now that generic metadata is instantiated by calling accessor functions,
this change removes the last remaining place that metadata patterns were
referenced from outside the module they were defined in. Now, the layout
of the metadata pattern and the behavior of swift_getGenericMetadata()
is purely an implementation detail of generic metadata accessors.
This patch allows two previously-XFAIL'd tests to pass.
Decrease the size of nominal type descriptors and make them true-const by relative-addressing the other metadata they need to reference, which should all be included in the same image as the descriptor itself. Relative-referencing string constants exposes a bug in the Apple linker, which crashes when resolving relative relocations to coalesceable symbols (rdar://problem/22674524); work around this for now by revoking the `unnamed_addr`-ness of string constants that we take relative references to. (I haven't tested whether GNU ld or gold also have this problem on Linux; it may be possible to conditionalize the workaround to only apply to Darwin targets for now.)
