CMake supports the notion of installation components. Right now we have some
custom code for supporting swift components. I think that for installation
purposes, it would be nice to use the CMake component system.
This should be a non-functional change. We should still only be generating
install rules for targets and files in components we want to install, and we
still use the install ninja target to install everything.
This is a follow up to the discussion on #22740 to switch the host
libraries to use the `target_link_libraries` rather than the
`LINK_LIBRARIES` special handling. This allows the dependency to be
properly tracked by CMake and allows us to use the more modern syntax.
To ensure SwiftSyntax calls a compatible parser library, this patch sets
up a C API that returns a constant string calculated during compilation time to indicate
the version of syntax node declarations. The same hash will be calculated
in the SwiftSyntax (client) side as well by using the same algorithm.
During runtime, SwiftSyntax will verify its hash value is identical to the
result of calling swiftparse_node_declaration_hash before actual
parsing happens.
This patch only sets the API up. The actual implementation of the
hashing algorithm will come later.
This eliminates the overhead of doing name lookups during parsing (which is unncessary during syntactic parsing) by enabling the `EnableASTScopeLookup` lang option.
This eliminates the overhead of ParsedRawSyntaxNode needing to do memory management.
If ParsedRawSyntaxNode needs to point to some data the memory is allocated from a bump allocator.
There are also some improvements on how the ParsedSyntaxBuilders work.
Add a shared library with a C API that provides access to the syntactic parser with callbacks for the inference of raw syntax nodes.
This is primarily intended to be used by SwiftSyntax to speed-up source code parsing for it.
