They aren't normally decl contexts, but if one has an opaque type, we want to be able to record
the property as a context so that we can reconstruct it in RemoteAST.
When Swift always copied the overlay dylibs into app bundles, it was OK
for these symbol references to be non-weak, but with the overlays now
part of the OS on Apple platforms, we need to handle backward deployment
scenarios where a new overlay does not exist on an old OS version.
A weak reference will serve to pull in the overlay dylib if it exists,
without causing a fatal error if it does not. rdar://problem/50110036
This is to support dynamic function replacement of functions with opaque
result type.
This approach requires that all state is thrown away (that could contain the
old returned type for an opaque type) between replacements.

Instead of a wholly separate lazyness mechanism for foreign metadata where
the first call to getAddrOfForeignTypeMetadataCandidate() would emit the
metadata, emit it using the lazy metadata mechanism.
This eliminates some code duplication. It also ensures that foreign
metadata is only emitted once per SIL module, and not once per LLVM
module, avoiding duplicate copies that must be ODR'd away in multi-threaded
mode.
This fixes the test case from <rdar://problem/49710077>.
In LLDB expressions, references to private metadata accessors may be
emitted and need to be bound to symbols available in the attached
program, even if these symbols are only supposed to have private
visibility within the program.

To correctly call designated super class initializers the designated
intializer (and not the allocator) is dynamically replaceable.
Convenience allocators are dynamically replaceable as before.
This consolidates the various doesClassMetadataRequire*() checks, making
them more managable.
This also adds a forth state, ClassMetadataStrategy::Update. This will be used
when deploying to the new Objective-C runtime. For now it's not plumbed through.
Progress on <rdar://problem/47649465>.
Create two new semantic names: `ExternalImport` and `ExternalExport`.
These are for symbols which are either imported from an external module
or exported for consumption by external modules.
Sinking this logic into the IRLinkage application means that we can
clean up the various sites that are handling the IRLinkage and/or
DLLStorage to apply IRLinkage semantically, making the code easier to
understand as well as avoiding the proliferation of the `useDLLStorage`
checks.
A dynamically replaceable function calls through a global variable that
holds the function pointer.
struct ChainEntry {
void *(funPtr)();
struct ChainEntry *next;
}
ChainEntry dynamicallyReplaceableVar;
void dynamicallyReplaceableFunction() {
dynamicallyReplaceableVar.funPtr()
}
dynamic replacements will be chainable so the global variable also
functions as the root entry in the chain of replacements.
A dynamic replacement functions can call the previous implementation by
going through its chain entry.
ChainEntry chainEntryOf_dynamic_replacement_for_foo;
void dynamic_replacement_for_foo() {
// call the previous (original) implementation.
chainEntryOf_dynamic_replacement_for_foo.funPtr();
}
Use relative references instead of pointers so that the pattern can be true-const. Instead of trying
to instantiate a constant key path literal in-place, point to a cache variable that we can store
a pointer to the shared instance into when instantiated. Now that the pattern format has diverged
significantly from the instance format, simplify and refactor the instantiation code using a walker
for the pattern format instead of trying to reuse the code for working with instantiated instances.

In order to handle LinkOnceODR semantics correctly across various object
formats, introduce a new helper ApplyIRLinkage. This abstracts the need
to create a COMDAT group and set it on the GlobalValue. Adjust all
sites where we set the IR linkage attributes to use this mechanism
instead to avoid having to track down symbols not being added to a
COMDAT group.
Get the attribute working for more link entity kinds, which addresses
all the FIXME:s in the original test case.
Now the protocol resilience tests can be updated to use @_weakLinked
for all newly-added protocol requirements and default implementations.
This allows the tests to pass in the backward deployment test scenario
as well.
Eventually this will be based on availability instead of a special
attribute.
This completes <rdar://problem/29888071>.
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.

Simplify calls to getAddrOfLLVMVariableOrGOTEquivalent() and
getAddrOfLLVMVariable() by moving the computation of the alignment and
default type into LinkEntity.

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.
Default associated conformance accessors will be used in default
witness tables to fill in associated conformances for defaulted
associated types. Add (de|re|)mangling support for them and make them
linking entities in IRGen.
For a resilient conformance, emit the associated conformance accessor
functions into the resilient witness table (keyed on the associated
conformance descriptor) rather than in the fixed part of the witness
table. This is another part of resilience for associated conformances,
and a step toward defaults for associated conformances.
Associated conformance descriptors are aliases that refer to associated
conformance requirements within a protocol descriptor’s list of
requirements. They will be used to provide protocol resilience against
the addition of new associated conformance requirements (which only makes
sense for newly-introduced, defaulted associated types).
When an associated type witness has a default, record that as part of
the protocol and emit a default associated type metadata accessor into the
default witness table. This allows a defaulted associated type to be
added to a protocol resiliently.
This is another part of rdar://problem/44167982, but it’s still very
limiting because the new associated type cannot have any conformances.
Introduce an alias that refers one element prior to the start of a
protocol descriptor’s protocol requirements. This can be subtracted from
an associated type descriptor address to determine the offset of the
associated type accessor within a corresponding witness table. The code
generation for the latter is not yet implemented.
The central thrust of this patch is to get these metadata initializations
off of `swift_once` and onto the metadata-request system where we can
properly detect and resolve dependencies. We do this by first introducing
runtime support for resolving metadata requests for "in-place"
initializations (committed previously) and then teaching IRGen to actually
generate code to use them (this patch).
A non-trivial amount of this patch is just renaming and refactoring some of
existing infrastructure that was being used for in-place initializations to
try to avoid unnecessary confusion.
The remaining cases that are still using `swift_once` resolution of
metadata initialization are:
- non-generic classes that can't statically fill their superclass or
have resilient internal layout
- foreign type metadata
Classes require more work because I'd like to switch at least the
resilient-superclass case over to using a pattern much more like what
we do with generic class instantiation. That is, I'd like in-place
initialization to be reserved for classes that actually don't need
relocation.
Foreign metadata should also be updated to the request/dependency scheme
before we declare ABI stability. I'm not sure why foreign metadata
would ever require a type to be resolved, but let's assume it's possible.
Fixes part of SR-7876.
