handling non-fixed layouts.
This uncovered a bug where we weren't rounding up the header
size to the element alignment when allocating an array of archetypes.
Writing up a detailed test case for *that* revealed that we were
never initializing the length field of heap arrays. Fixing that
caused a bunch of tests to crash trying to release stuff. So...
I've left this in a workaround state right now because I have to
catch a plane.

Per John's comments, make a GenericBox struct to represent the layout of a generic box allocation, move all the layout calculations into methods on GenericBox, and alter swift_deallocBox to take the type as an argument so that it's future-proofed for when we start special-casing certain types in allocBox.
Swift SVN r4613
Add a runtime function that, given a generic type metadata pointer, allocates a heap object capable of containing a value of that type. This is a first-pass implementation that always does the worst case thing of stuffing the type metadata into the box with the value and using its value witness table to size, align, and destroy the box. Use swift_allocBox to implement ArchetypeTypeInfo::allocate correctly for heap object allocations. This means SIL's alloc_box $T now works for archetypes, and a simple generics test now (almost) compiles through SIL!

For Objective-C super calls, build an objc_super struct value containing the receiver and class/metaclass object and pass it to objc_msgSendSuper2. For Swift super calls, emit a direct call to the super implementation.

In 10.9, the method cache now takes up two words, and the vtable is gone.
Code compiled statically will work fine, but runtime classes need to fill
the rest of the method cache with zero, instead of an address.
I tested this on 10.8 as well and it seems to do no harm.

IRGen was generating the exact same signature for the initializing/allocating constructors and destroying/deallocating destructors. Make it do the right thing by typing the initializing constructor as Swift T -> (...) -> T and the destroying destructor as LLVM void(%swift.refcounted*). (This will later change to '%swift.refcounted*(%swift.refcounted*)' pending some irgen/runtime cleanup.)
Swift SVN r3837
The ObjC ABI requires these class fields to be initialized by
resolving symbols from the runtime. So this is a historical
requirement. Note that there is a desire to optimize this
even for ObjC, because in a project with many classes, these
can actually end up representing a significant fraction of
the external non-lazy relocations in the linked image. But
for now we follow the spec, as we must.
The ObjC ABI requires these to be taken from the runtime,
although there is an effort to make them not require external
relocations like this, since in large projects it can actually
add up to a large percentage of the non-lazy external relocs.

Add a path through IRGenModule to optionally codegen FuncDecls using their corresponding SIL Functions when constructed with a SILModule. Jury-rig an IRGenSILFunction subclass of IRGenFunction that does the bare minimum necessary to compile "hello world" from SIL. There are some impedance mismatches between irgen and SIL that need to be smoothed out, particularly the AST-dependent way irgen currently handles function calls. Nonetheless, `swift -sil-i hello.swift` works!

Introduce a new swift_dynamicCast pair that take in a general metatype
pointer, rather than the more specific class-metatype pointer used for
class downcasts, and grab the class out of that general metatype
pointer, which may actually be an Objective-C wrapper. This is
slightly slower, but it works for the super-to-archetype cases like
T(an_NSObject), where T can have either kind of metadata.
NSTypedArray<T> is actually run-time type checked now, yay!
Swift SVN r3564
This variant of swift_dynamicCast requires us to have data that's
guaranteed to be class metadata, but it's not always natural to
generate class metadata. No functionality change yet.
Swift SVN r3562
We add a new runtime entry point, swift_dynamicCastUnconditional(),
that aborts when the cast fails. We'll probably want to throw an
exception in the future, but this is fine for now.
Swift SVN r3554
Notably, there is still no support for +1 return values,
so we'll leak when doing alloc/init and so on; but this gets
the fundamentals in place. A lot of the extra stuff in here
is dealing with mapping between metatypes and class objects.
Swift SVN r3425
The interesting thing here is that we need runtime support in
order to generate references to metatypes for classes, mostly
because normal ObjC classes don't have all the information we want
in a metatype (which for now just means the VWT pointer).
We'll need to be able to reverse this mapping when finding a
class pointer to hand off to, say, an Objective-C class method,
of course.
Swift SVN r3424
The principal difficulty here is that we need accessing the
value witness table for a type to be an efficient operation,
but there (obviously) isn't a VWT field for ObjC classes.
Placing this field after the metatype would tend to bloat
metatypes by quite a bit. Placing it before is best, but
it introduces an unfortunate difference between the address
point of a metatype and the address of the global symbol.
That, however, can be fixed with appropriate linker support.
Still, for now this is rather unfortunately over-subtle.
Swift SVN r3307
This requires us to potentially copy the value witness tables for
generic struct types as part of computing layout, but that's not
the end of the world (although it will rely on a future patch
to split value witnesses out from protocol witness tables).
Oh, and add a value witness for stride, changing Builtin.strideof
to use that.
Swift SVN r2829
is really a deficiency in TypeInfo::initializeWithTake, which
is now virtual and not implemented in TypeInfo anymore. This
fixes rdar://problem/12153619.
While I'm at it, fix an inefficiency in how we were handling
ignored results of generic calls, and add 4 new builtins:
Builtin.strideof is like sizeof, but guarantees that it
returns a multiple of the alignment (i.e., like C sizeof,
it is the appropriate allocation size for members of an
array).
Builtin.destroy destroys something "in place"; previously
this was being simulated by moving and ignoring the result.
Builtin.allocRaw allocates raw, uninitialized memory, given
a size and alignment.
Builtin.deallocRaw deallocates a pointer allocated with
Builtin.allocRaw; it must be given the allocated size.

Mangling is still a hack, pending a better type AST. Fixed
a bug where arguments passed indirectly were not being destroyed
by the callee (when passed by value). Changed some of the protocol
signatures to use the generic opaque pointer type, making the
types a bit more self-documenting in the IR.
Swift SVN r2274
swift_retain calls. The pertinent difference is that the former can be
marked nocapture, allowing general LLVM optimizations more flexibility.
With this change, early-cse is able to zap 9 more instructions, and 3
more functions are able to be marked nocapture by functionattrs in the
stdlib.
Swift SVN r2043
match the actual entrypoints vended by the runtime:
1) there is no swift_slowRawAlloc
2) swift_deallocObject takes two arguments
Also, make all calls to swift_allocObject go through a common
function so that we can easily use optimized entrypoints if the
runtime provides them.
Swift SVN r1993
wrap it in an 'id' type in the standard library.
Also fix a bug noticed by inspection where initWithTake for
function types wasn't entering a cleanup for the taken value.
This probably doesn't matter for existing possibilities, but
it's potentially important under exceptions.
Swift SVN r1902
value witnesses goes.
There are three major remaining things to do to support protocols:
- laying out the actual protocol members
- emitting witnesse for the actual protocol members
- detecting uses of the actual protocol members and funnelling
them through the witnesses as appropriate
All this work was just to let us treat protocol types as
first-class values.
Swift SVN r1899
heap allocations it makes, and switch swift_alloc over to pass
that pointer in as well as the alignment. Also, compute
whether a type is POD during its generation and cache that in
the object, and introduce a method on TypeInfo to destroy an
object in memory.
