Non-generic classes with resilient ancestry do not have statically-emitted
metadata, so we can now emit an Objective-C resilient class stub instead.
Also, when emitting an Objective-C category, reference the class stub if
the class has resilient ancestry; previously this case would hit an assert.
Note that class stubs always start with a zero word, with the address point
pointing immediately after. This works around a linker issue, where the
linker tries to coalesce categories and gets confused upon encountering a
class stub.
This adds a new tail-allocated field to class context descriptors storing
a pointer to an Objective-C class stub.
When the stub is present, we use the new _objc_realizeClassFromSwift()
entry point to realize the class instead of calling objc_readClassPair().
This should attach categories to the realized class, if they were emitted
to reference the stub.
When -enable-anonymous-context-mangled-names is provided, emit mangled
names as part of the metadata of an anonymous context. This will allow
us to match textual mangled names to the metadata.
This is a backward-compatible ABI extension. Part of rdar://problem/38231646/.
This is essentially a long-belated follow-up to Arnold's #12606.
The key observation here is that the enum-tag-single-payload witnesses
are strictly more powerful than the XI witnesses: you can simulate
the XI witnesses by using an extra case count that's <= the XI count.
Of course the result is less efficient than the XI witnesses, but
that's less important than overall code size, and we can work on
fast-paths for that.
The extra inhabitant count is stored in a 32-bit field (always present)
following the ValueWitnessFlags, which now occupy a fixed 32 bits.
This inflates non-XI VWTs on 32-bit targets by a word, but the net effect
on XI VWTs is to shrink them by two words, which is likely to be the
more important change. Also, being able to access the XI count directly
should be a nice win.
Extend the key-path pattern with a representation of the generic environment
of the key-path, which includes the generic parameters and generic
requirements of the environment.
We should also allow references via manglings just to cover the
general case if we need it, but this is useful on its own so that
we can emit a reference to any natively-declared Swift type.
Witness table accessors return a witness table for a given type's
conformance to a protocol. They are called directly from IRGen
(when we need the witness table instance) and from runtime conformance
checking (swift_conformsToProtocol digs the access function out of the
protocol conformance record). They have two interesting functions:
1) For witness tables requiring instantiation, they call
swift_instantiateWitnessTable directly.
2) For synthesized witness tables that might not be unique, they call
swift_getForeignWitnessTable.
Extend swift_instantiateWitnessTable() to handle both runtime
uniquing (for #2) as well as handling witness tables that don't have
a "generic table", i.e., don't need any actual instantiation. Use it
as the universal entry point for "get a witness table given a specific
conformance descriptor and type", eliminating witness table accessors
entirely.
Make a few related simplifications:
* Drop the "pattern" from the generic witness table. Instead, store
the pattern in the main part of the conformance descriptor, always.
* Drop the "conformance kind" from the protocol conformance
descriptor, since it was only there to distinguish between witness
table (pattern) vs. witness table accessor.
* Internalize swift_getForeignWitnessTable(); IRGen no longer needs to
call it.
Reduces the code size of the standard library (+assertions build) by
~149k.
Addresses rdar://problem/45489388.
Add `@autoclosure` to parameter flags associated with
function type metadata, which makes it possible to correctly
round-trip mangled name <-> metadata of function types which
have parameters marked as `@autoclosure`.
Resolves: rdar://problem/45489901
Collapse the generic witness table, which was used only as a uniquing
data structure during witness table instantiation, into the protocol
conformance record. This colocates all of the constant protocol conformance
metadata and makes it possible for us to recover the generic witness table
from the conformance descriptor (including looking at the pattern itself).
Rename swift_getGenericWitnessTable() to swift_instantiateWitnessTable()
to make it clearer what its purpose is, and take the conformance descriptor
directly.
Place resilient witnesses in the protocol conformance descriptor,
tail-allocated after the conditional requirements, so they can be found by
reflection. Drop the resilient witness table and protocol descriptor from
the generic witness table.

The superclass descriptor reference in class context descriptors is only used
for metadata bound computations when the superclass is resilient. Only
include the superclass descriptor reference when the class has a resilient
superclass, using a trailing record. It’s a tiny space savings for
classes that don’t have resilient superclasses.
Encode default associated type witnesses using a sentinel prefix byte
(0xFF) in the mangled name rather than as a second low bit on the
reference. Align all of the mangled names used for type references to
2 bytes (so we get that low bit regardless) and separate the symbol
names for default associated type witnesses vs. other kinds of
metadata or reflection metadata.
Indicate whether a particular associated type witness is a default (whose
mangled name is relative to the protocol) vs. being supplied as part of the
conformance (whose mangled name is relative to the conforming type). The
use of pointer identity to distinguish these cases can fail due to the
coalescing of these linker symbols.
Rather than storing associated type metadata access functions in
witness tables, initially store a pointer to a mangled type name.
On first access, demangle that type name and replace the witness
table entry with the resulting type metadata.
This reduces the code size of protocol conformances, because we no
longer need to create associated type metadata access functions for
every associated type, and the mangled names are much smaller (and
sharable). The same code size improvements apply to defaulted
associated types for resilient protocols, although those are more
rare. Witness tables themselves are slightly smaller, because we
don’t need separate private entries in them to act as caches.
On the caller side, associated type metadata is always produced via
a call to swift_getAssociatedTypeWitness(), which handles the demangling
and caching behavior.
In all, this reduces the size of the standard library by ~70k. There
are additional code-size wins that are possible with follow-on work:
* We can stop emitting type metadata access functions for non-resilient
types that have constant metadata (like `Int`), because they’re only
currently used as associated type metadata access functions.
* We can stop emitting separate associated type reflection metadata,
because the reflection infrastructure can use these mangled names
directly.
Like we did for structs, make it so that tuple types can also get extra inhabitants from whichever element with the most, not only the first. This lets us move all of the extra inhabitant handling functionality between structs and tuples in IRGen up to the common RecordTypeInfo CRTP base.
Most of this patch is just removing special cases for materializeForSet
or other fairly mechanical replacements. Unfortunately, the rest is
still a fairly big change, and not one that can be easily split apart
because of the quite reasonable reliance on metaprogramming throughout
the compiler. And, of course, there are a bunch of test updates that
have to be sync'ed with the actual change to code-generation.
This is SR-7134.
If a class has generic ancestry or resiliently-sized fields, but is
itself not generic and does not have resilient ancestry, we must
perform runtime metadata initialization, but we can initialize
the metadata in-place.
As with generic classes or classes with resilient ancestry, we
copy generic requirements and field offset vectors from the
superclass. We also calculate the layout of the class's direct
fields at runtime.
Unlike the fully resilient case, we don't copy vtable entries
from the superclass, or install the direct class's vtable
entries from the type context descriptor. Instead, we statically
emit the vtable as with fixed-size class metadata.
Both the in-place and resilient case call the same runtime
entry point to initialize class metadata; the new HasStaticVTable
flag in ClassLayoutFlags is used to select between the two
behaviors concerning the vtable.
This saves us some expensive cross-referencing and caching in the runtime, and lets us reclaim the `isReflectable` bit from the context descriptor flags (since a null field descriptor is a suitable and more accurate indicator of whether a type is reflectable).
- Instead of keeping multiple flags in the type descriptor flags,
just keep a single flag indicating the presence of additional
import information after the name.
- That import information consists of a sequence of null-terminated
C strings, terminated by an empty string (i.e. by a double null
terminator), each prefixed with a character describing its purpose.
- In addition to the symbol namespace and related entity name,
include the ABI name if it differs from the user-facing name of the
type, and make the name the user-facing Swift name.
There's a remaining issue here that isn't great: we don't correctly
represent the parent relationship between error types and their codes,
and instead we just use the Clang module as the parent. But I'll
leave that for a later commit.
- `swift_getForeignTypeMetadata` is now a request/response function.
- The initialization function is now a completion function, and the
pointer to it has moved into the type descriptor.
- The cache variable is no longer part of the ABI; it's an
implementation detail of the access function.
- The two points above mean that there is no special header on foreign
type metadata and therefore that they can be marked constant when
there isn't something about them that needs to be initialized.
The only foreign-metadata initialization we actually do right now is
of the superclass field of a foreign class, and since that relationship
is a proper DAG, it's not actually possible to have recursive
initialization problems. But this is the right long-term thing to do,
and it removes one of the last two clients of once-based initialization.
As part of this, rename TypeMetadataRecordKind to TypeReferenceKind
and consistently give it three bits of storage.
The better modelling of these type references appears to have been
sufficient to make dynamic conformance checks succeed, which is good
but unexpected.
Reimplement protocol descriptors for Swift protocols as a kind of
context descriptor, dropping the Objective-C protocol compatibility
layout. The new protocol descriptors have several advantages over the
current implementation:
* They drop all of the unused fields required for layout-compatibility
with Objective-C protocols.
* They encode the full requirement signature of the protocol. This
maintains more information about the protocol itself, including
(e.g.) correctly encoding superclass requirements.
* They fit within the general scheme of context descriptors, rather than
being their own thing, which allows us to share more code with
nominal type descriptors.
* They only use relative pointers, so they’re smaller and can be placed
in read-only memory
Implements rdar://problem/38815359.
Use ProtocolDescriptorRefs within the runtime representation of
existential type metadata (TargetExistentialTypeMetadata) instead of
bare protocol descriptor pointers. Start rolling out the use of
ProtocolDescriptorRef in a few places in the runtime that touch this
code. Note that we’re not yet establishing any strong invariants on
the TargetProtocolDescriptorRef instances.
While here, replace TargetExistentialTypeMetadata’s hand-rolled pointer
arithmetic with swift::ABI::TrailingObjects and centralize knowledge of
its layout better.
Clang-importer-synthesized declarations get an extra tag character included in their mangling, which was not being preserved in type context descriptors. This caused runtime lookup for these synthesized types to fail. Fix this by adding the tag information to type context descriptors and teaching the runtime to match it up when fetching metadata by mangled name. Fixes rdar://problem/40878715.
We want to be able to potentially introduce new metadata kinds in future Swift compilers, so a runtime ought to be able to degrade gracefully in the face of metadata kinds it doesn't know about. Remove attempts to exhaustively switch over metadata kinds and instead treat unknown metadata kinds as opaque.
There are multiple reasons to do this. Primarily this is
useful as an optimization. Whenever analysis can determine that no
potentially conflicting access occurs within the scope, the access can
be demoted to "nontracking". It is also useful as an escape hatch for
future code deploying to older runtimes. For example, if a future access
scope may cross threads, and the older runtime doesn't know how to
migrate threads.
See <rdar://problem/37507434> add a flag to swift_beginAccess to inform
the runtime that an access might migrate between threads
I de-templated MetadataState and MetadataRequest because we weren't
relying on the template and because using the template was causing
conversion problems due to the inability to directly template an enum
in C++.
Rename it to swift_initClassMetadata() just like we recently did
swift_initStructMetadata(), and add a StructLayoutFlags parameter
so we can version calls to this function in the future.
Maybe at some point this will become a separate ClassLayoutFlags
type, but at this point it doesn't matter because IRGen always
passes a value of 0.
This includes global generic and non-generic global access
functions, protocol associated type access functions,
swift_getGenericMetadata, and generic type completion functions.
The main part of this change is that the functions now need to take
a MetadataRequest and return a MetadataResponse, which is capable
of expressing that the request can fail. The state of the returned
metadata is reported as an second, independent return value; this
allows the caller to easily check the possibility of failure without
having to mask it out from the returned metadata pointer, as well
as allowing it to be easily ignored.
Also, change metadata access functions to use swiftcc to ensure that
this return value is indeed returned in two separate registers.
Also, change protocol associated conformance access functions to use
swiftcc. This isn't really related, but for some reason it snuck in.
Since it's clearly the right thing to do, and since I really didn't
want to retroactively tease that back out from all the rest of the
test changes, I've left it in.
Also, change generic metadata access functions to either pass all
the generic arguments directly or pass them all indirectly. I don't
know how we ended up with the hybrid approach. I needed to change all
the code-generation and calls here anyway in order to pass the request
parameter, and I figured I might as well change the ABI to something
sensible.
