This attribute allows to define a pre-specialized entry point of a
generic function in a library.
The following definition provides a pre-specialized entry point for
`genericFunc(_:)` for the parameter type `Int` that clients of the
library can call.
```
@_specialize(exported: true, where T == Int)
public func genericFunc<T>(_ t: T) { ... }
```
Pre-specializations of internal `@inlinable` functions are allowed.
```
@usableFromInline
internal struct GenericThing<T> {
@_specialize(exported: true, where T == Int)
@inlinable
internal func genericMethod(_ t: T) {
}
}
```
There is syntax to pre-specialize a method from a different module.
```
import ModuleDefiningGenericFunc
@_specialize(exported: true, target: genericFunc(_:), where T == Double)
func prespecialize_genericFunc(_ t: T) { fatalError("dont call") }
```
Specially marked extensions allow for pre-specialization of internal
methods accross module boundries (respecting `@inlinable` and
`@usableFromInline`).
```
import ModuleDefiningGenericThing
public struct Something {}
@_specializeExtension
extension GenericThing {
@_specialize(exported: true, target: genericMethod(_:), where T == Something)
func prespecialize_genericMethod(_ t: T) { fatalError("dont call") }
}
```

Similar to `try`, await expressions have no specific semantics of their
own except to indicate that the subexpression contains calls to `async`
functions, which are suspension points. In this design, there can be
multiple such calls within the subexpression of a given `await`.
Note that we currently use the keyword `__await` because `await` in
this position introduces grammatical ambiguities. We'll wait until
later to sort out the specific grammar we want and evaluate
source-compatibility tradeoffs. It's possible that this kind of prefix
operator isn't what we want anyway.
Like switch cases, a catch clause may now include a comma-
separated list of patterns. The body will be executed if any
one of those patterns is matched.
This patch replaces `CatchStmt` with `CaseStmt` as the children
of `DoCatchStmt` in the AST. This necessitates a number of changes
throughout the compiler, including:
- Parser & libsyntax support for the new syntax and AST structure
- Typechecking of multi-pattern catches, including those which
contain bindings.
- SILGen support
- Code completion updates
- Profiler updates
- Name lookup changes
The `@transpose(of:)` attribute registers a function as a transpose of another
function. This patch adds the `@transpose(of:)` attribute definition, syntax,
parsing, and printing.
Resolves TF-827.
Todos:
- Type-checking (TF-830, TF-1060).
- Enable serialization (TF-838).
- Use module-qualified names instead of custom qualified name syntax/parsing
(TF-1066).
The `@derivative(of:)` attribute registers a function as a derivative of another
function. This patch adds the `@derivative(of:)` attribute definition, syntax,
parsing, and printing.
Resolves TF-826.
Todos:
- Type-checking (TF-829).
- Serialization (TF-837).
This PR introduces `@differentiable` attribute to mark functions as differentiable. This PR only contains changes related to parsing the attribute. Type checking and other changes will be added in subsequent patches.
See https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/27506/files#diff-f3216f4188fd5ed34e1007e5a9c2490f for examples and tests for the new attribute.
`#assert` is a new static assertion statement that will let us write
tests for the new constant evaluation infrastructure that we are working
on. `#assert` works by lowering to a `Builtin.poundAssert` SIL
instruction. The constant evaluation infrastructure will look for these
SIL instructions, const-evaluate their conditions, and emit errors if
the conditions are non-constant or false.
This commit implements parsing, typechecking and SILGen for `#assert`.
Dynamic replacements are currently written in extensions as
extension ExtendedType {
@_dynamicReplacement(for: replacedFun())
func replacement() { }
}
The runtime implementation allows an implementation in the future where
dynamic replacements are gather in a scope and can be dynamically
enabled and disabled.
For example:
dynamic_extension_scope CollectionOfReplacements {
extension ExtentedType {
func replacedFun() {}
}
extension ExtentedType2 {
func replacedFun() {}
}
}
CollectionOfReplacements.enable()
CollectionOfReplacements.disable()
