The generated wrapper simply invokes a corresponding entry point by means of
an indirect call via a global the symbol, which is a function pointer referring
to the implementation of a runtime function.
Using such wrappers allows for invocations of runtime functions from dynamic
libraries without the usual indirections via dynamic linker stubs.
If the calling convention and the current target require a wrapper, it will be
generated. Each wrapper gets a hidden linkage and is marked as ODR, so that
a linker can merge all wrappers with the same name.
This functionality could be re-used by e.g. LLVMPasses, which currently create LLVM IR declarations of runtime entry points on their own.
To make the function re-usable, slightly change the API of the function:
- use llvm::Module instead of IRGenModule.
- use llvm::ArrayRef instead of std::initializer_list, which allows the clients of this API to dynamically form the lists of return types and arguments.
IRGen now uses a ConstantBuilder to build protocol metadata, which may
now have additional fields at the end for default witnesses.
For now, the default implementations in the test have to external
because IRGen cannot emit a witness_method body where Self is
abstract. I will fix this by passing in the witness table as part
of the witness_method calling convention.
On the IRGen side, other than the calling convention change, the only
remaining piece here is emitting GenericWitnessTables and accessor
functions for conformances where the conformance is defined in
a different module than the protocol, and the protocol is resilient.
Sema still needs to infer default witnesses and store them in the
ProtocolDecl, so that SILGen can emit default witness thunks for
them.
- Implement emission of type references for nominal type field
reflection, using a small custom encoder resulting in packed
structs, not strings. This will let us embed 7-bit encoded
32-bit relative offsets directly in the structure (not yet
hooked in).
- Use the AST Mangler for encoding type references
Archetypes and internal references were complicating this before, so we
can take the opportunity to reuse this machinery and avoid unique code
and new ABI.
Next up: Tests for reading the reflection sections and converting the
demangle tree into a tree of type references.
Todo: For concrete types, serialize the types for associated types of
their conformances to bootstrap the typeref substitution process.

Only re-generate an object file if the llvm IR (after IRGen) changed.
The check is done based on a MD5 hash of the llvm IR which is stored in a special section in the object file.
This reduces compilation time for multi-threaded whole module compilation if only a small number of files are changed.
The incremental compilation also works for compilations with a single output file. In this case it's all-or-nothing.
This comes with a fix for a null pointer dereference in _typeByName()
that would pop with foreign classes that do not have a
NominalTypeDescriptor.
Also, I decided to back out part of the change for now, where the
NominalTypeDescriptor references an accessor function instead of a
pattern, since this broke LLDB, which reaches into the pattern to
get the generic cache.
Soon we will split off the generic cache from the pattern, and at
that time we can change the NominalTypeDescriptor to point at the
cache. But for now, let's avoid needless churn in LLDB by keeping
that part of the setup unchanged.
Change conformance records to reference NominalTypeDescriptors instead of
metadata patterns for resilient or generic types.
For a resilient type, we don't know if the metadata is constant or not,
so we can't directly reference either constant metadata or the metadata
template.
Also, whereas previously NominalTypeDescriptors would point to the
metadata pattern, they now point to the metadata accessor function.
This allows the recently-added logic for instantiating concrete types
by name to continue working.
In turn, swift_initClassMetadata_UniversalStrategy() would reach into
the NominalTypeDescriptor to get the pattern out, so that its bump
allocator could be used to allocate ivar tables. Since the pattern is
no longer available this way, we have to pass it in as a parameter.
In the future, we will split off the read-write metadata cache entry
from the pattern; then swift_initClassMetadata_UniversalStrategy() can
just take a pointer to that, since it doesn't actually need anything
else from the pattern.
Since Clang doesn't guarantee alignment for function pointers, I had
to kill the cute trick that packed the NominalTypeKind into the low
bits of the relative pointer to the pattern; instead the kind is now
stored out of line. We could fix this by packing it with some other
field, or keep it this way in case we add new flags later.
Now that generic metadata is instantiated by calling accessor functions,
this change removes the last remaining place that metadata patterns were
referenced from outside the module they were defined in. Now, the layout
of the metadata pattern and the behavior of swift_getGenericMetadata()
is purely an implementation detail of generic metadata accessors.
This patch allows two previously-XFAIL'd tests to pass.
An individual field record for a nominal type consists of:
- 32-bit general purpose flags,
- 32-bit relative offset to the encoded type reference string, or
32-bit relative offset to the mangled name of the type defined
in another image, and
- 32-bit relative offset to the field name string.

Since that's somewhat expensive, allow the generation of meaningful
IR value names to be efficiently controlled in IRGen. By default,
enable meaningful value names only when generating .ll output.
I considered giving protocol witness tables the name T:Protocol
instead of T.Protocol, but decided that I didn't want to update that
many test cases.
This is a bit of a hodge-podge of related changes that I decided
weren't quite worth teasing apart:
First, rename the weak{Retain,Release} entrypoints to
unowned{Retain,Release} to better reflect their actual use
from generated code.
Second, standardize the names of the rest of the entrypoints around
unowned{operation}.
Third, standardize IRGen's internal naming scheme and API for
reference-counting so that (1) there are generic functions for
emitting operations using a given reference-counting style and
(2) all operations explicitly call out the kind and style of
reference counting.
Finally, implement a number of new entrypoints for unknown unowned
reference-counting. These entrypoints use a completely different
and incompatible scheme for working with ObjC references. The
primary difference is that the new scheme abandons the flawed idea
(which I take responsibility for) that we can simulate an unowned
reference count for ObjC references, and instead moves towards an
address-only scheme when the reference might store an ObjC reference.
(The current implementation is still trivially takable, but that is
not something we should be relying on.) These will be tested in a
follow-up commit. For now, we still rely on the bad assumption of
reference-countability.
By using relative references, either directly to symbols internal to the current TU, or to the GOT entry for external symbols, we avoid unnecessary runtime relocations, and we save space on 64-bit platforms, since a single image is still <2GB in size. For the 64-bit standard library, this trades 26KB of fake-const data in __DATA,__swift1_proto for 13KB of true-const data in __TEXT,__swift2_proto. Implements rdar://problem/22334380.

SILFunctionType of the method instead of its formal type.
Gives more accurate information to the @encoding, makes
foreign error conventions work implicitly, and allows
IRGen's Swift-to-Clang to avoid duplicating arbitrary
amounts of the bridging logic from SILGen.
Some finagling was required in order to avoid calling
getConstantFunctionType from within other kinds of
lowering, which might have re-entered a generic context.
Also required fixing a bug with the type lowering of
optional DynamicSelfTypes where we would end up with
a substituted type in the lowered type.
Also, for some reason, our @encoding for -dealloc
methods was pretending that there was a formal parameter.
There didn't seem to be any justification for this,
and it's not like Clang does that. Fixed.
This commit reapplies r29266 with a conservative build fix
that disables ObjC property descriptors for @objc properties
that lack a getter. That should only be possible in SIL
files, because @objc should force accessors to be synthesized.
Arguably, Sema shouldn't be marking things implicitly @objc
in SIL files, but I'll leave that decision open for now.

We need this because that global state includes tables like llvm[.compiler].used
which would otherwise be sorely missed.
This fixes an issue of the clang importer that would cause us to fail whenever
we imported a function (say it is marked as static inline) that performs an
objective-c method call and we optimize the code. The optimizer would not see
the objective-c selector global variable (which is marked private) as being
"used by unkown i.e the objc runtime" and would rightly assume it could
propagate the value of the global variable's initializer value as a constant to
loads of the global variable.
Now we call the ClangCodeGenerators translation unit finalization code which
will emit these tables and other module flags. We need to take care that we
merge those datastrutures with datastructures that we emit from swift's IRGen.

It can be enabled with the -num-threads <n> option.
Without this option there should be NFC.
When enabled, the LLVM IR is split into multiple modules: one module for each input file.
And for each module an output file is generated. All output files must be specified with -o options:
for each input file in the command line there must be an -o <outputfile> option.
LLVM compilation is performed on each module separately.
This means that the generated code is different than with regular -wmo.
But performance and code size should be approximately the same because important inter-file
optimizations are already done at SIL level (e.g. inlining, specialization).
There is still no support in the driver for this feature.
