- TypeAliasDecl::getAliasType() is gone. Now, getDeclaredInterfaceType()
always returns the NameAliasType.
- NameAliasTypes now always desugar to the underlying type as an
interface type.
- The NameAliasType of a generic type alias no longer desugars to an
UnboundGenericType; call TypeAliasDecl::getUnboundGenericType() if you
want that.
- The "lazy mapTypeOutOfContext()" hack for deserialized TypeAliasDecls
is gone.
- The process of constructing a synthesized TypeAliasDecl is much simpler
now; instead of calling computeType(), setInterfaceType() and then
setting the recursive properties in the right order, just call
setUnderlyingType(), passing it either an interface type or a
contextual type.
In particular, many places weren't setting the recursive properties,
such as the ClangImporter and deserialization. This meant that queries
such as hasArchetype() or hasTypeParameter() would return incorrect
results on NameAliasTypes, which caused various subtle problems.
- Finally, add some more tests for generic typealiases, most of which
fail because they're still pretty broken.
When deserializing the generic environment for a generic type, only
immediately deserialize the generic signature. The generic environment
will be deserialized later, when it's needed.
When we deserialize a function that has a generic environment, set the
generic signature and a key to allow lazy creation of the generic
environment. Because most clients won't need the generic environment,
this lets us avoid creating generic environments.
Save two pointers of storage in IterableDeclContext (a base class of
nominal type and extension declarations) by storing the lazy member
loader + context data in an ASTContext side table. It also makes it
easier to add more lazy context information later on.
Only serialize the interface types of parameter declarations into the
module file, then lazily build the contextual types when
requested. This saves a small amount of space in the Swift module
files (~64k for the Swift standard library) and some effort on load.
First, ensure all ParamDecls that are synthesized from scratch are given
both a contextual type and an interface type.
For ParamDecls written in source, add a new recordParamType() method to
GenericTypeResolver. This calls setType() or setInterfaceType() as
appropriate.
Interestingly enough a handful of diagnostics in the test suite have
improved. I'm not sure why, but I'll take it.
The ParamDecl::createUnboundSelf() method is now only used in the parser,
and no longer sets the type of the self parameter to the unbound generic
type. This was wrong anyway, since the type was always being overwritten.
This allows us to remove DeclContext::getSelfTypeOfContext().
Also, ensure that FuncDecl::getBodyResultTypeLoc() always has an interface
type for synthesized declarations, eliminating a mapTypeOutOfContext()
call when computing the function interface type in configureInterfaceType().
Finally, clean up the logic for resolving the DynamicSelfType. We now
get the interface or contextual type of 'Self' via the resolver, instead
of always getting the contextual type and patching it up inside
configureInterfaceType().
After recent changes, this asserts on all decls that are not VarDecls,
so we can just enforce that statically now. Interestingly, this turns
up some dead code which would have asserted immediately if called.
Also, replace AnyFunctionRef::getType() with
AnyFunctionRef::getInterfaceType(), since the old
AnyFunctionRef::getType() would just assert when called on
a Decl.
The previous patches regressed a test where we used to diagnose
(poorly) a circular associated type, like so:
associatedtype e: e
With the error "inheritance from non-protocol, non-class type 'e'".
This error went away, because we end up not setting the interface
type of the associated type early enough. Instead, we return an
ErrorType from resolveTypeInContext() and diagnose nothing.
With this patch, emit a diagnostic at the point where the ErrorType
first appears.
Also, remove the isRecursive() bit from AssociatedTypeDecl, and
remove isBeingTypeChecked() which duplicates a bit with the same
name in Decl.
A pointless use of polymorphism -- the result values are not
interchangeable in any practical sense:
- For GenericTypeParamDecls, this returned getDeclaredInterfaceType(),
which is an interface type.
- For AssociatedTypeDecls, this returned the sugared AssociatedTypeType,
which desugars to an archetype.
- For TypeAliasDecls, this returned TypeAliasDecl::getAliasType(),
which desugars to a type containing archetypes.
- For NominalTypeDecls, this returned NominalTypeDecl::getDeclaredType(),
which is the unbound generic type, a special case used for inferring
generic arguments when they're not written in source.
Previously, getInterfaceType() would return getType() if no
interface type was set. Instead, always set an interface type
explicitly.
Eventually we want to remove getType() altogether, and this
brings us one step closer to this goal.
Note that ParamDecls are excempt from this treatment, because
they don't have a proper interface type yet. Cleaning this up
requires more effort.
