It is possible for the SIL optimizers, IRGen, etc. to request information
from the AST that only the type checker can provide, but the type checker
is typically torn down after the “type checking” phase. This can lead to
various crashes late in the compilation cycle.
Keep the type checker instance around as long as the ASTContext is alive
or until someone asks for it to be destroyed.
Fixes SR-285 / rdar://problem/23677338.
Previously, some PBDs weren't being marked implicit even though the associated vars were implicit. PatternBindingDecl::createImplicit will be even nicer when we start parsing the location of the equals token.
Several different places in the codebase synthesize IntegerLiteralExprs from computed unsigned variables; each one requires several lines of code and does things slightly differently. Write one central helper method to handle this.
As with the playground transform, defer statements were not supported in the PC macro.
This commit addresses that oversight.
This partially addresses <rdar://problem/29007242>.
Since both in-tree AST transforms (playground and program counter) add
new ApplyExprs (and literals that turn into ApplyExprs), we need to
recheck nested function bodies as well as top-level ones.

In anticipation of future attributes, and perhaps the ability to
declare lvalues with specifiers other than 'let' and 'var', expand
the "isLet" bit into a more general "specifier" field.
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.
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.
Fixes SR-2757.
Variables in capture lists are treated as 'let' constants, which can
result in misleading, incorrect diagnostics. Mark them as such in order
to produce better diagnostics, by adding an extra parameter to the
VarDecl initializer.
Alternatively, these variables could be marked as implicit, but that
results in other diagnostic problems: capture list variables that are
never used produce warnings, but these warnings aren't normally emitted for
implicit variables. Other assertions in the compiler also misfire when
these variables are treated as implicit.
Another alternative would be to walk up the AST and determine whether
the `VarDecl`, but there doesn't appear to be a way to do so.
Based off the PlaygroundTransform, this new ASTWalker leaves calls to __builtin_pc_before and __builtin_pc_after before and after a user would expect a program counter to enter a range of source code.
