The allocation phase is guaranteed to succeed and just puts enough
of the structure together to make things work.
The completion phase does any component metadata lookups that are
necessary (for the superclass, fields, etc.) and performs layout;
it can fail and require restart.
Next up is to support this in the runtime; then we can start the
process of making metadata accessors actually allow incomplete
metadata to be fetched.
This is yet another waypoint on the path towards the final
generic-metadata design. The immediate goal is to make the
pattern a private implementation detail and to give the runtime
more visibility into the allocation and caching of generic types.
The key path pattern needs to include a reference to the external descriptor, along with hooks for lowering its type arguments and indices, if any. The runtime will need to instantiate and interpolate the external component when the key path object is instantiated.
While we're here, let's also reserve some more component header bytes for future expansion, since this is an ABI we're going to be living with for a while.
This makes resolving mangled names to nominal types in the same module more efficient, and for eventual secrecy improvements, also allows types in the same module to be referenced from mangled typerefs without encoding any source-level name information about them.
A "retroactive" protocol conformance is a conformance that is provided
by a module that is neither the module that defines the protocol nor
the module that defines the conforming type. It is possible for such
conformances to conflict at runtime, if defined in different modules
that were not both visible to the compiler at the same time.
When mangling a bound generic type, also mangle retroactive protocol
conformances that were needed to satisfy the generic requirements of
the generic type. This prevents name collisions between (e.g.) types
formed using retroactive conformances from different modules. The
impact on the size of the mangling is expected to be relatively small,
because most conformances are not retroactive.
Fixes the ABI part of rdar://problem/14375889.
This new format more efficiently represents existing information, while
more accurately encoding important information about nested generic
contexts with same-type and layout constraints that need to be evaluated
at runtime. It's also designed with an eye to forward- and
backward-compatible expansion for ABI stability with future Swift
versions.
(and 'La'...'Lj')
Use this for the synthesized structs for error enums, as described in
the previous commit, instead of reusing the "private discriminator"
feature. I left some space in the APIs for "related entity kinds" that
are longer than a single character, but I don't actually expect to use
it any time soon. It's mostly just easier to deal with StringRef than
with a bare char.
Note that this doesn't perfectly round-trip to the old mangling; I had
it treat these nodes as private discriminators with a prefixed "$"
instead. We don't depend on that for anything, though.
Support for @noescape SILFunctionTypes.
These are the underlying SIL changes necessary to implement the new
closure capture ABI.
Note: This includes a change to function name mangling that
primarily affects reabstraction thunks.
The new ABI will allow stack allocation of non-escaping closures as a
simple optimization.
The new ABI, and the stack allocation optimization, also require
closure context to be @guaranteed. That will be implemented as the
next step.
Many SIL passes pattern match partial_apply sequences. These all
needed to be fixed to handle the convert_function that SILGen now
emits. The conversion is now needed whenever a function declaration,
which has an escaping type, is passed into a @NoEscape argument.
In addition to supporting new SIL patterns, some optimizations like
inlining and SIL combine are now stronger which could perturb some
benchmark results.
These underlying SIL changes should be merged now to avoid conflicting
with other work. Minor benchmark discrepancies can be investigated as part of
the stack-allocation work.
* Add a noescape attribute to SILFunctionType.
And set this attribute correctly when lowering formal function types to SILFunctionTypes based on @escaping.
This will allow stack allocation of closures, and unblock a related ABI change.
* Flip the polarity on @noescape on SILFunctionType and clarify that
we don't default it.
* Emit withoutActuallyEscaping using a convert_function instruction.
It might be better to use a specialized instruction here, but I'll leave that up to Andy.
Andy: And I'll leave that to Arnold who is implementing SIL support for guaranteed ownership of thick function types.
* Fix SILGen and SIL Parsing.
* Fix the LoadableByAddress pass.
* Fix ClosureSpecializer.
* Fix performance inliner constant propagation.
* Fix the PartialApplyCombiner.
* Adjust SILFunctionType for thunks.
* Add mangling for @noescape/@escaping.
* Fix test cases for @noescape attribute, mangling, convert_function, etc.
* Fix exclusivity test cases.
* Fix AccessEnforcement.
* Fix SILCombine of convert_function -> apply.
* Fix ObjC bridging thunks.
* Various MandatoryInlining fixes.
* Fix SILCombine optimizeApplyOfConvertFunction.
* Fix more test cases after merging (again).
* Fix ClosureSpecializer. Hande convert_function cloning.
Be conservative when combining convert_function. Most of our code doesn't know
how to deal with function type mismatches yet.
* Fix MandatoryInlining.
Be conservative with function conversion. The inliner does not yet know how to
cast arguments or convert between throwing forms.
* Fix PartialApplyCombiner.
This reverts commit 25985cb764. For now,
we're trying to avoid spurious non-structural changes to the mangling,
so that the /old/ mangling doesn't appear to change. That doesn't mean
no changes at all, but we can save this one for later.
Previously it was part of swiftBasic.
The demangler library does not depend on llvm (except some header-only utilities like StringRef). Putting it into its own library makes sure that no llvm stuff will be linked into clients which use the demangler library.
This change also contains other refactoring, like moving demangler code into different files. This makes it easier to remove the old demangler from the runtime library when we switch to the new symbol mangling.
Also in this commit: remove some unused API functions from the demangler Context.
