Also make `IRGenModule::getAddrOfTypeMetadata()` more clear that a GEP
is being forced and optional aliasing is involved rather than imply that
full metadata always requires a GEP (which it does not).
When reemitting a type context descriptor, several fields
- method lookup function
- dispatch thunk
- nonoverride method descriptor
were previously being reemitted.
In a couple of earlier commits, that behavior was altered to delete the
fields before reemitting them.
3ad2777a68 [IRGen] Erase nonoverride descriptor on emission.
c25c180c08 [IRGen] Erase thunks before emission.
Here, the behavior is changed to simply exit early when these fields are
being reemitted. Also an assertion is added that these fields are
redefined only when reemitting the type context descriptor.
Previously, the metadata accessor for which canonical prespecializations
had been formed included checks against the passed-in arguments to
determine whether the access matched a prespecialized record or not.
Now that the prespecialized records are attached to the nominal type
descriptor for the type, eliminate this hard-coded generated code and
instead let swift_getGenericMetadata do the work of looking through the
prespecializations.
The metadata accessor and type context descriptor for a nominal type
both depend on canonical metadata--the former because it returns those
metadata, the latter because it has them as trailing objects.
Here, the work is done to reemit those values when new canonical
prespecialized metadata are encountered.
COMDAT can only be applied to definitions, not declarations. This
manifested in builds of llbuild with SwiftPM on Windows. The nominal
type descriptor accessor declaration was marked as COMDAT.
Previously, it was possible to alias an old LinkEntity which was marked
used (i.e. in LLVMUsed) or compiler used (i.e. in LLVMCompilerUsed).
The result of defining such an alias was a failure downstream when
writing out the lists of globals.
Here, the old value is removed from the list before it is invalidated.
several more places to use getOrCreateHelperFunction.
This means that several of these places are now emitting
shared functions rather than private ones, which I've
verified is okay. There are some other places where
privacy is still unfortunately necessary.
I've also fixed the name of the store-extra-inhabitants
helper function to say "store" instead of "get", which
is longstanding (but harmless because it's private).

To enable lookup of the entry point, emit a pointer to that entry point
into a new section; on MachO, the __swift5_entry section of the __TEXT
segment.

This prevents dead code stripping from removing the main() function used in widgets. This special case was added to support the integrated REPL, which was removed after Swift 5.3, and so it is no longer necessary.
Fixes rdar://65862827.
When a generic type from a different module is not resilient within the
current module and at least one of its arguments is from the current
module, emit a non-canonical prespecialized record, and access that
metadata via a call to swift_getCanonicalSpecializedMetadata, passing in
the non-canonical record.

A couple of clients are iterating over the result,
so switch to a vector to ensure we don't
accidentally introduce any non-determinism.

it down such that it can be computed by the

Describe the backward-deployment libraries via a preprocessor-driven
