* Unify the capitalization across all user-visible error messages (fatal errors, assertion failures, precondition failures) produced by the runtime, standard library and the compiler.
* Update some more tests to the new expectations.
- Update NSRange -> Range guidance
- Fix example in Optional
- Improve RangeExpression docs
- Fix issue in UnsafeRawBufferPointer.initializeMemory
- Code point -> scalar value most places
- Reposition the dot above the scripty `i'
- Fix ExpressibleByArrayLiteral code sample
This necessary for ensuring the property that String doesn't keep
inaccessible memory alive. For example, before this change,
String(s.dropFirst().unicodeScalars)
would compile and produce a String that owned inaccessible memory.
Now it no longer compiles.
String's view's SubSequences are the same as the Substring's
view. E.g. String.UnicodeScalarView.SubSequence is
Substring.UnicodeScalarView.
New compatibility inits added, to work around the fact that many
previously failable initializers are now non-failable.
This is a step along the way toward handling backward-compatiblity of UTF8View
slicing and preventing inadvertent creation of String instances that keep
inaccessible memory alive.
I failed to merge the upstream changes to swift-corelibs-foundation at the same
time as I merged that #9806, and it broke on linux. Going to get it right this
time.
As of now:
* old APIs are just marked as `deprecated` not `unavaiable`. To make it
easier to co-operate with other toolchain repos.
* Value variant of API is implemented as public @private
`_ofInstance(_:)`.
This is another necessary step in introducing changes
for SE-0107: UnsafeRawPointer.
UnsafeRawPointer is great for bytewise pointer operations.
OpaquePointer goes away.
The _RawByte type goes away.
StringBuffer always binds memory to the correct CodeUnit
when allocating memory.
Before accessing the string, a dynamic element width check
allows us to assume the bound memory type.
Generic entry points like atomicCompareExchange no longer handle
both kinds of pointers. Normally that's good because you
should not be using generics in that case, just upcast
to raw pointer. However, with pointers-to-pointers
you can't do that.
