The ownership kind is Any for trivial types, or Owned otherwise, but
whether a type is trivial or not will soon depend on the resilience
expansion.
This means that a SILModule now uniques two SILUndefs per type instead
of one, and serialization uses two distinct sentinel IDs for this
purpose as well.
For now, the resilience expansion is not actually used here, so this
change is NFC, other than changing the module format.
A guaranteed function argument never is paired with an end_borrow, so when we
perform this sort of simplification, we need to eliminate the end_borrow of the
block argument.
We've been running doxygen with the autobrief option for a couple of
years now. This makes the \brief markers into our comments
redundant. Since they are a visual distraction and we don't want to
encourage more \brief markers in new code either, this patch removes
them all.

We want as few module passes as possible.
Function passes allow the PassManager to do its job.
e.g. it can filter certain functions that should not be applied to the
current pipeline. This will result in less work in the pass itself and
fewer pass manager related bugs.
Function passes are easier to understand and debug in the context of the
pipeline. Things like PrettyStackTrace are handled automatically.
Bisecting functionality is builtin.
Function passes are more compatible in general with inter-procedural
analysis.
Function passes are more efficient.
A single module pass in the middle of the pipeline destroys the benefit
of the rest of the pipeline uses function passes.
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.
Replace `NameOfType foo = dyn_cast<NameOfType>(bar)` with DRY version `auto foo = dyn_cast<NameOfType>(bar)`.
The DRY auto version is by far the dominant form already used in the repo, so this PR merely brings the exceptional cases (redundant repetition form) in line with the dominant form (auto form).
See the [C++ Core Guidelines](https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md#es11-use-auto-to-avoid-redundant-repetition-of-type-names) for a general discussion on why to use `auto` to avoid redundant repetition of type names.
At some point, pass definitions were heavily macro-ized. Pass
descriptive names were added in two places. This is not only redundant
but a source of confusion. You could waste a lot of time grepping for
the wrong string. I removed all the getName() overrides which, at
around 90 passes, was a fairly significant amount of code bloat.
Any pass that we want to be able to invoke by name from a tool
(sil-opt) or pipeline plan *should* have unique type name, enum value,
commend-line string, and name string. I removed a comment about the
various inliner passes that contradicted that.
Side note: We should be consistent with the policy that a pass is
identified by its type. We have a couple passes, LICM and CSE, which
currently violate that convention.
There are now separate functions for function addition and deletion instead of InvalidationKind::Function.
Also, there is a new function for witness/vtable invalidations.
rdar://problem/29311657
A lot of files transitively include Expr.h, because it was
included from SILInstruction.h, SILLocation.h and SILDeclRef.h.
However in reality most of these files don't do anything
with Exprs, especially not anything in IRGen or the SILOptimizer.
Now we're down to 171 files in the frontend which depend on
Expr.h, which is still a lot but much better than before.
Changes:
* Terminate all namespaces with the correct closing comment.
* Make sure argument names in comments match the corresponding parameter name.
* Remove redundant get() calls on smart pointers.
* Prefer using "override" or "final" instead of "virtual". Remove "virtual" where appropriate.
Before this commit all code relating to handling arguments in SILBasicBlock had
somewhere in the name BB. This is redundant given that the class's name is
already SILBasicBlock. This commit drops those names.
Some examples:
getBBArg() => getArgument()
BBArgList => ArgumentList
bbarg_begin() => args_begin()
Previously we treated the * platform as checking for the minimum
deployment target, but that's definitely unnecessary.
There is a bit of a hack here to avoid diagnosing the 'else' branch as
unreachable: if a constant true/false came from #available, ignore it.
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.
(libraries now)
It has been generally agreed that we need to do this reorg, and now
seems like the perfect time. Some major pass reorganization is in the
works.
This does not have to be the final word on the matter. The consensus
among those working on the code is that it's much better than what we
had and a better starting point for future bike shedding.
Note that the previous organization was designed to allow separate
analysis and optimization libraries. It turns out this is an
artificial distinction and not an important goal.
