In the following example, the two declarations should have
the same mangled type:
protocol P {
associatedtype P
}
func f1<T : P>(_: T) -> T.P where T.P == Int {}
func f2<T : P>(_: T) -> Int where T.P == Int {}
To ensure this is the case, canonicalize the entire
GenericFunctionType before taking it apart, instead of
canonicalizing structural components of it.
Only those types can be de-mangled by the ObjC runtime anyway.
Also move this mangling logic into the ASTMangler class. This avoids keeping the old mangler around just for that purpose.
This is what ‘_Tt’ was in the old mangling.
Maybe we don’t need this eventually. But currently at least swift-ide-test relies on having a special mangling for such symbols
Following classes provide symbol mangling for specific purposes:
*) Mangler: the base mangler class, just providing some basic utilities
*) ASTMangler: for mangling AST declarations
*) SpecializationMangler: to be used in the optimizer for mangling specialized function names
*) IRGenMangler: mangling all kind of symbols in IRGen
All those classes are not used yet, so it’s basically a NFC.
Another change is that some demangler node types are added (either because they were missing or the new demangler needs them).
Those new nodes also need to be handled in the old demangler, but this should also be a NFC as those nodes are not created by the old demangler.
My plan is to keep the old and new mangling implementation in parallel for some time. After that we can remove the old mangler.
Currently the new implementation is scoped in the NewMangling namespace. This namespace should be renamed after the old mangler is removed.
