CONTEXT: This code works by building up a stack of SIL values of values that
need to be transformed into a StringRef as part of generating our name path and
then as a second phase performs the conversion of those values to StringRef as
we pop from the stack.
This is the first in a string of commits that are going to refactor
VariableNameUtils so that the stack will only contain StringRef instead of SIL
entities. This will be accomplished by moving the SIL value -> StringRef code
from the combining part of the algorithm (where we drain the stack) to the
construction of the stack.
The reason why I am doing this is two fold:
1. By just storing StringRef into the stack I am simplifying the code. Today as
mentioned above in the context, we gather up the SILValue we want to process and
then just convert them to StringRef. This means that any time one has to add a
new instruction, one has to update two different pieces of code. By trafficking
in StringRef instead, one only has to update one piece of code.
2. I want to add some simple code that allows for us to get names from closures
which would require me to recurse. I am nervous about putting
values/instructions from different functions in the same data structure. Today
it is safe, but it is bad practice. Instead, by just using StringRef in the
stack, I can avoid this problem.
I have been using these in TransferNonSendable and they are useful in terms of
reducing the amount of code that one has to type to use this API. I am going to
need to use it in SILIsolationInfo, so it makes sense to move it into
SILOptimizer/Utils.
NFCI.
I am going to reuse this for TransferNonSendable. In the process I made a few
changes to make it more amenable to both use cases and used the current set of
tests that we have for noncopyable types to validate that I didn't break
anything.
