The reason that I am doing this is in preparation for adding support for
MultipleValueInstruction. This enables us to avoid type issues and also ensures
that we do not increase the size of SingleValueInstruction while we are doing
it.
The MultipleValueInstruction commit will come soon.

This replaces the '[volatile]' flag. Now, class_method and
super_method are only used for vtable dispatch.
The witness_method instruction is still overloaded for use
with both ObjC protocol requirements and Swift protocol
requirements; the next step is to make it only mean the
latter, also using objc_method for ObjC protocol calls.
Specifically, load profiler counts corresponding to 'if' AST nodes and
attach them to the corresponding CondBranchInst's in SIL.
This is done using dirty tricks and isn't tested well enough :(.
- Hack the SIL printer to make profile count loading testable.
- Hack the profiler's counter map to store the indices of parent
region counters in entries for 'else stmts' and 'else exprs'.
It's too early to hack up the SILOptimizer to propagate profile counts.
It doesn't seem too hard, but I definitely don't know the code well
enough to write tests for it :(. So that's still a TODO.
Next, we should be able to produce some acutual llvm branch_weight
metadata!
introduce a common superclass, SILNode.
This is in preparation for allowing instructions to have multiple
results. It is also a somewhat more elegant representation for
instructions that have zero results. Instructions that are known
to have exactly one result inherit from a class, SingleValueInstruction,
that subclasses both ValueBase and SILInstruction. Some care must be
taken when working with SILNode pointers and testing for equality;
please see the comment on SILNode for more information.
A number of SIL passes needed to be updated in order to handle this
new distinction between SIL values and SIL instructions.
Note that the SIL parser is now stricter about not trying to assign
a result value from an instruction (like 'return' or 'strong_retain')
that does not produce any.
This commit contains:
-) adding the new instructions + infrastructure, like parsing, printing, etc.
-) support in IRGen to generate global object-variables (i.e. "heap" objects) which are statically initialized in the data section.
-) IRGen for global_value which lazily initializes the object header and returns a reference to the object.
For details see the documentation of the new instructions in SIL.rst.
Static initializers are now represented by a list of literal and aggregate instructions in a SILGlobalVariable.
For details see SIL.rst.
This representation is cleaner than what we did so far (point to the initializer function and do some pattern matching).
One implication of that change is that now (a subset of) instructions not necessarily have a parent function.
Regarding the generated code it's a NFC.
Also the swift module format didn't change because so far we don't serializer global variables.
There is no need for us to manually call the abstract base class. The
visitor pattern will do that for us.
Also, make SILNodes.def and SILInstruction.h agree about the parent type
of the strong pin/unpin instructions.
Cleanup a bunch of indecipherable SIL parser logic related to these
casts. If you want to use a 100+ case switch, then the case
statements should be declarative. Don't open a new scope with its own
control flow and locals, and don't nest another giant switch within
a case.
Consider a class hierarchy like the following:
class Base {
func m1() {}
func m2() {}
}
class Derived : Base {
override func m2() {}
func m3() {}
}
The SIL vtable for 'Derived' now records that the entry for m1
is inherited, the entry for m2 is an override, and the entry
for m3 is a new entry:
sil_vtable Derived {
#Base.m1!1: (Base) -> () -> () : _T01a4BaseC2m1yyF [inherited]
#Base.m2!1: (Base) -> () -> () : _T01a7DerivedC2m2yyF [override]
#Derived.m3!1: (Derived) -> () -> () : _T01a7DerivedC2m3yyF
}
This additional information will allow IRGen to emit the vtable
for Derived resiliently, without referencing the symbol for
the inherited method m1() directly.
GenericSpecializationInformation contains information regarding how a given specialized function was created, e.g. which caller function triggered this specialization, which substitutions were used, etc. Provide some debugging flags to dump the collected specialization information.
The information about generic specializations is referenced by the specialized functions and by call-sites originating from specialized functions.
This information can be created/used by the generic specializer to detect generic call-sites whose specialization would result in non-terminating sequence of subsequent generic specializations.
This has the same semantics as open_existential_box, but returns an object value
instead of an address.
This is used in SIL opaque values mode. Attempting to reuse open_existential_box
in this mode causes SIL type inconsistencies that are too difficult to work
around. Adding this instruction allows for consistent handling of opaque values.
The original versions of several of these currently redundant instructions will
be removed once the SIL representation stabilizes.
These instructions have the same semantics as the *ExistentialAddr instructions
but operate directly on the existential value, not its address.
This is in preparation for adding ExistentialBoxValue instructions.
The previous name would cause impossible confusion with "opaque existentials"
and "opaque existential boxes".
Special DeclNames represent names that do not have an identifier in the
surface language. This implies serializing the information about whether
a name is special together with its identifier (if it is not special)
in both the module file and the swift lookup table.
Printing a declaration's name using `<<` and `getBaseName()` is be
independent of the return type of `getBaseName()` which will change in
the future from `Identifier` to `DeclBaseName`
All we need to store is whether the SILDeclRef directly
references the declaration, or if it references a curry
thunk, and we already have an isCurried bit for that.
With the option -sil-print-debuginfo the printing of debug locations and scopes can be enabled.
I made the default for the option “false”, because in 99% of the time I don’t need the debug info in the printed SIL and I prefer better readability.
A computed component needs:
- A stable identifier for equality checking. This can be either a static function reference for concrete property implementations, or a reference into a vtable or witness table for a dynamically dispatched property. This should correspond to a public ABI interface for public things.
- Getter and setter (TODO: and materializeForSet) references. These might be thunks to reach the necessary abstraction level for the keypath implementation, so they can't be used as stable identifiers directly.
- Separate out a uniquable KeyPathPattern that describes the context-free shape of the key path, with generic parameters and (eventually) subscript index slots factored out.
- Add component kinds for gettable and settable properties.
