A transparent function might be deserialized and inlined into a function
in another module, which would cause problems if the function referenced
local functions.
Previously we would force local functions to have public linkage instead,
which worked, but was not resilient if the body of the transparent
function changed in the module that contained it.
Add a library evolution test ensuring that such a change is resilient
now.

This was mistakenly reverted in an attempt to fix buildbots.
Unfortunately it's now smashed into one commit.

Introduce @_specialize(<type list>) internal attribute.
This attribute can be attached to generic functions. The attribute's
arguments must be a list of concrete types to be substituted in the
function's generic signature. Any number of specializations may be
associated with a generic function.
This attribute provides a hint to the compiler. At -O, the compiler
will generate the specified specializations and emit calls to the
specialized code in the original generic function guarded by type
checks.
The current attribute is designed to be an internal tool for
performance experimentation. It does not affect the language or
API. This work may be extended in the future to add user-visible
attributes that do provide API guarantees and/or direct dispatch to
specialized code.
This attribute works on any generic function: a freestanding function
with generic type parameters, a nongeneric method declared in a
generic class, a generic method in a nongeneric class or a generic
method in a generic class. A function's generic signature is a
concatenation of the generic context and the function's own generic
type parameters.
e.g.
struct S<T> {
var x: T
@_specialize(Int, Float)
mutating func exchangeSecond<U>(u: U, _ t: T) -> (U, T) {
x = t
return (u, x)
}
}
// Substitutes: <T, U> with <Int, Float> producing:
// S<Int>::exchangeSecond<Float>(u: Float, t: Int) -> (Float, Int)

[SILOptimizer] Introduce an eager-specializer pass.
This pass finds generic functions with @_specialized attributes and
generates specialized code for the attribute's concrete types. It
inserts type checks and guarded dispatch at the beginning of the
generic function for each specialization. Since we don't currently
expose this attribute as API and don't specialize vtables and witness
tables yet, the only way to reach the specialized code is by calling
the generic function which performs the guarded dispatch.
In the future, we can build on this work in several ways:
- cross module dispatch directly to specialized code
- dynamic dispatch directly to specialized code
- automated specialization based on less specific hints
- partial specialization
- and so on...
I reorganized and refactored the optimizer's generic utilities to
support direct function specialization as opposed to apply
specialization.
Temporarily reverting @_specialize because stdlib unit tests are
failing on an internal branch during deserialization.

SILGen will now be able to look up the default implementation
corresponding to a requirement while emitting conformances, and
reference the default witness thunk instead of emitting duplicate
thunks for each conforming type.
IRGen continues to only emit resilient defaults if the protocol itself
is resilient; otherwise, it just ignores the default witness table.
This is only used in the verifier, to ensure that default witness
thunks are suffiently visible.
Also this patch removes the asserts enforcing that only resilient
protocols have a default witness table. This will change in an
upcoming patch, and in this patch is necessary for the test to work.
These APIs are useful e.g. for quickly finding pre-specialisations by their names.
The existence check is very light-weight and does not try to deserialize bodies of SIL functions.
This ireapplies commit 255c52de9f.
Original commit message:
Serialize debug scope and location info in the SIL assembler language.
At the moment it is only possible to test the effects that SIL
optimization passes have on debug information by observing the
effects of a full .swift -> LLVM IR compilation. This change enable us
to write targeted testcases for single SIL optimization passes.
The new syntax is as follows:
sil-scope-ref ::= 'scope' [0-9]+
sil-scope ::= 'sil_scope' [0-9]+ '{'
sil-loc
'parent' scope-parent
('inlined_at' sil-scope-ref )?
'}'
scope-parent ::= sil-function-name ':' sil-type
scope-parent ::= sil-scope-ref
sil-loc ::= 'loc' string-literal ':' [0-9]+ ':' [0-9]+
Each instruction may have a debug location and a SIL scope reference
at the end. Debug locations consist of a filename, a line number, and
a column number. If the debug location is omitted, it defaults to the
location in the SIL source file. SIL scopes describe the position
inside the lexical scope structure that the Swift expression a SIL
instruction was generated from had originally. SIL scopes also hold
inlining information.

With this re-abstraction a specialized function has the same calling convention as if it would have been written with the specialized types in the first place.
In general this results in less alloc_stacks and load/stores.
It also can eliminate some re-abstraction thunks, e.g. if a generic closure is used in a non-generic context.
It some (hopefully rare) cases it may require to add re-abstraction thunks.
In case a function has multiple indirect results, only the first is converted to a direct result. This is an open TODO.
Fix some interface type/context type confusion in the AST synthesis from the previous patch, add a unique private mangling for behavior protocol conformances, and set up SILGen to emit the conformances when property declarations with behaviors are visited. Disable synthesis of the struct memberwise initializer if any instance properties use behaviors; codegen will need to be redesigned here.
Dead function elimination deletes functions making them zombies. A zombie is a
function whose name only exists because debug info might still refer to it.
However, later passes of specialization might create a new function by the same
name again. We now have a zombie function (which is just an alias to a deleted
method stub) and a function definition.
No test case since I could not reduce this to a small test case.

There's a group of methods in `DeclContext` with names that start with *is*,
such as `isClassOrClassExtensionContext()`. These names suggests a boolean
return value, while the methods actually return a type declaration. This
patch replaces the *is* prefix with *getAs* to better reflect their interface.
Headers in include/ are meant to be used across libraries, headers in lib/
are only used within that library.
Thanks @jrose-apple for pointing this out.
This will be used to help IRGen record protocol requirements
with resilient default implementations in protocol metadata.
To enable testing before all the Sema support is in place, this
patch adds SIL parser, printer and verifier support for default
witness tables.
For now, SILGen emits empty default witness tables for protocol
declarations in resilient modules, and IRGen ignores them when
emitting protocol metadata.
As there are no instructions left which produce multiple result values, this is a NFC regarding the generated SIL and generated code.
Although this commit is large, most changes are straightforward adoptions to the changes in the ValueBase and SILValue classes.
The main idea here is that we really, really want to be
able to recover the protocol requirement of a conformance
reference even if it's abstract due to the conforming type
being abstract (e.g. an archetype). I've made the conversion
from ProtocolConformance* explicit to discourage casual
contamination of the Ref with a null value.
As part of this change, always make conformance arrays in
Substitutions fully parallel to the requirements, as opposed
to occasionally being empty when the conformances are abstract.
As another part of this, I've tried to proactively fix
prospective bugs with partially-concrete conformances, which I
believe can happen with concretely-bound archetypes.
In addition to just giving us stronger invariants, this is
progress towards the removal of the archetype from Substitution.
This is something that we have wanted for a long time and will enable us to
remove some hacks from the compiler (i.e. how we determine in the ARC optimizer
that we have "fatalError" like function) and also express new things like
"noarc".
This commit changes the Swift mangler from a utility that writes tokens into a
stream into a name-builder that has two phases: "building a name", and "ready".
This clear separation is needed for the implementation of the compression layer.
Users of the mangler can continue to build the name using the mangleXXX methods,
but to access the results the users of the mangler need to call the finalize()
method. This method can write the result into a stream, like before, or return
an std::string.
This was once used in lldb but no longer is. I'm cannot find any other
users, so I'm removing it as a small part of cleaning up and simplifying
the SIL linking process.
Use malloc/free for allocating/freeing SIL instructions instead of using the BumpPtrAllocator. This allows for memory reuse and significantly reduces the memory footprint of the compiler.
For example, a peak memory usage during a compilation of the standard library and StdlibUnitTest is reduced by 25%-30%. The performance of the compiler seems to be not affected by this change, i.e. no slowdown is measured.
The use-after-free issues reported by build bots are fixed now.

Modeling nonescaping captures as @inout parameters is wrong, because captures are allowed to share state, unlike 'inout' parameters, which are allowed to assume to some degree that there are no aliases during the parameter's scope. To model this, introduce a new @inout_aliasable parameter convention to indicate an indirect parameter that can be written to, not only by the current function, but by well-typed, well-synchronized aliasing accesses too. (This is unrelated to our discussions of adding a "type-unsafe-aliasable" annotation to pointer_to_address to allow for safe pointer punning.)
This commit adds a hook that allows passes, analysis or data structures that can
be registered as receivers of delete notifications to decide if they want to
receive notifications All of the analysis and the currently executing passes are
automatically registered to receive notifications and this hook is useful in
reducing the runtime overhead. With this change the only analysis that accepts
notifications is alias analysis.
This centralizes the entrypoints for creating SILFunctions. Creating a
SILFunction is intimately tied to a specific SILModule, so it makes sense to
either centralize the creation on SILModule or SILFunction. Since a SILFunction
is in a SILModule, it seems more natural to put it on SILModule.
I purposely created a new override on SILMod that exactly matches the signature
of SILFunction::create so that beyond the extra indirection through SILMod, this
change should be NFC. We can refactor individual cases in later iterations of
refactoring.
This commit adds the basic support for delete notification handlers. The SIL
Module is notified every time an instruction is deleted. The module will forward
notification messages to users who ask to be notified. The motivation for this
work is described in the upcoming commit to OptimizerDesign.md.
This reverts commit bf2fdb6764.
One of the build bots reported a malloc/free error, while other bots had successful builds. It could indicate a non-deterministic failure.
Preventively revert this patch as it is the most likely cause of these issues.
