This is due to MayHaveSideEffects encompassing ref count effects and a
myriad of other effects. If/when we separate the two concepts (which is
cleaner IMHO), the flag will no longer be necessary.

not have their normal memory behavior if the value we are trying to find memory
behavior relative to does not alias their arguments.
Also cond_fail is inert from an AA perspective.

This is because I need them in ARCAnalysis.cpp and from a modeling
perspective it is no longer just going to be used just in AA since they
are of larger functionality.

We won't have any types where copying has an effect on the bit pattern (except for blocks, which need special handling anyway), and copy_value having a result makes optimizations more complex, so remove it.

This will be a signal to ARC optimization, RVO, and other lifetime-affecting optimizations that they should not shorten the lifetime of a value past a certain point. We need this for C pointer bridging. This adds the instruction, but does not add any knowledge of it to the ARC optimizers.

alloc_ref_dynamic allocates an instance of a class type based on the
value in its metatype operand. Start emitting these instructions for
the allocating constructor of a complete object initializer (not yet
tested) and for the allocating constructor synthesized for an imported
Objective-C init method.
Still missing:
- IRGen still does the same thing as alloc_ref right now. That
change will follow.
- There are devirtualization opportunities when we know the value of
the metatype that would turn an alloc_ref_dynamic into an alloc_ref;
I'm not planning to do this optimization.

It's not forming the metatype for the protocol type (exists t: P. t).metatype, it's forming the existential of a metatype of a conforming type, exists t: P. (t.metatype).
Swift SVN r14520
Having one instruction to get the dynamic metatype of a (non-existential) value makes more sense from a generic specialization standpoint and should stave off inevitable crashers when archetype_metatypes get specialized. protocol_metatype remains separate because metatype existentials are more interesting.
Swift SVN r14499
We were wantonly applying 'upcast' to archetypes in some cases, and really, that's OK, since these instructions do the same thing (and generic specialization could turn archetype_ref_to_super into upcast). Make everyone's life easier by folding archetype_to_super into upcast. Fixes <rdar://problem/16192324>.

Introduce the SIL instructions thick_to_objc_metatype and
objc_to_thick_metatype to convert between the 'thick' and
'Objective-C' representations of a metatype. Most of this code is
trivial support code for these conversions: printing, parsing,
(de-)serialization, etc., for which testing will come online in
subsequent patches or is incidental in other tests.
Lower Objective-C metatype values down to objc_class* at the IR level
and implement IRGen support for these SIL instructions. SIL-only test
case at the moment because SILGen never creates these instructions.
Swift SVN r14087
A SILArgument is a function argument if the argument's parent BB is the entry BB
of the function containing the argument.
This is an interesting distinction since function arguments have special
aliasing properties with respect to indirect arguments which normal basic block
arguments do not.

Riding off of project_existential[_ref] was convenient, but the
resuls are used quite differently. Note that open_existential[_ref]
still don't print/parse reasonably yet.
Swift SVN r13878
future variadic address projections land, getUnderlyinObject and
findAddressProjectionPath should never disagree due to the former handling casts
in contrast with the later.
