When an instruction is "deleted" from the SIL, it is put into the SILModule::scheduledForDeletion list.
The instructions in this list are eventually deleted for real in SILModule::flushDeletedInsts(), which is called by the pass manager after each pass run.
In other words: instruction deletion is deferred to the end of a pass.
This avoids dangling instruction pointers within the run of a pass and in analysis caches.
Note that the analysis invalidation mechanism ensures that analysis caches are invalidated before flushDeletedInsts().
... with a fix for a non-assert build crash: I used the wrong ilist type for SlabList. This does not explain the crash, though. What I think happened here is that llvm miscompiled and put the llvm_unreachable from the Slab's deleteNode function unconditionally into the SILModule destructor.
Now by using simple_ilist, there is no need for a deleteNode at all.
If we know that we have a FunctionRefInst (and not another variant of FunctionRefBaseInst), we know that getting the referenced function will not be null (in contrast to FunctionRefBaseInst::getReferencedFunctionOrNull).

Since the two ExtInfos share a common ClangTypeInfo, and C++ doesn't let us
forward declare nested classes, we need to hoist out AnyFunctionType::ExtInfo
and SILFunctionType::ExtInfo to the top-level.
We also add some convenience APIs on (AST|SIL)ExtInfo for frequently used
withXYZ methods. Note that all non-default construction still goes through the
builder's build() method.
We do not add any checks for invariants here; those will be added later.
If there is a release of the bridged value in between the bridge call
and the objective-c call we need to account for that and can't just use
a guaranteed convention.

In order to allow this, I've had to rework the syntax of substituted function types; what was previously spelled `<T> in () -> T for <X>` is now spelled `@substituted <T> () -> T for <X>`. I think this is a nice improvement for readability, but it did require me to churn a lot of test cases.
Distinguishing the substitutions has two chief advantages over the existing representation. First, the semantics seem quite a bit clearer at use points; the `implicit` bit was very subtle and not always obvious how to use. More importantly, it allows the expression of generic function types that must satisfy a particular generic abstraction pattern, which was otherwise impossible to express.
As an example of the latter, consider the following protocol conformance:
```
protocol P { func foo() }
struct A<T> : P { func foo() {} }
```
The lowered signature of `P.foo` is `<Self: P> (@in_guaranteed Self) -> ()`. Without this change, the lowered signature of `A.foo`'s witness would be `<T> (@in_guaranteed A<T>) -> ()`, which does not preserve information about the conformance substitution in any useful way. With this change, the lowered signature of this witness could be `<T> @substituted <Self: P> (@in_guaranteed Self) -> () for <A<T>>`, which nicely preserves the exact substitutions which relate the witness to the requirement.
When we adopt this, it will both obviate the need for the special witness-table conformance field in SILFunctionType and make it far simpler for the SILOptimizer to devirtualize witness methods. This patch does not actually take that step, however; it merely makes it possible to do so.
As another piece of unfinished business, while `SILFunctionType::substGenericArgs()` conceptually ought to simply set the given substitutions as the invocation substitutions, that would disturb a number of places that expect that method to produce an unsubstituted type. This patch only set invocation arguments when the generic type is a substituted type, which we currently never produce in type-lowering.
My plan is to start by producing substituted function types for accessors. Accessors are an important case because the coroutine continuation function is essentially an implicit component of the function type which the current substitution rules simply erase the intended abstraction of. They're also used in narrower ways that should exercise less of the optimizer.
ProtocolConformanceRef already has an invalid state. Drop all of the
uses of Optional<ProtocolConformanceRef> and just use
ProtocolConformanceRef::forInvalid() to represent it. Mechanically
translate all of the callers and callsites to use this new
representation.

This prepares SIL to be able to more accurately preserve the calling convention of
polymorphic generic interfaces by letting the type system represent "substituted function types".
We add a couple of fields to SILFunctionType to support this:
- A substitution map, accessed by `getSubstitutions()`, which maps the generic signature
of the function to its concrete implementation. This will allow, for instance, a protocol
witness for a requirement of type `<Self: P> (Self, ...) -> ...` for a concrete conforming
type `Foo` to express its type as `<Self: P> (Self, ...) -> ... for <Foo>`, preserving the relation
to the protocol interface without relying on the pile of hacks that is the `witness_method`
protocol.
- A bool for whether the generic signature of the function is "implied" by the substitutions.
If true, the generic signature isn't really part of the calling convention of the function.
This will allow closure types to distinguish a closure being passed to a generic function, like
`<T, U> in (*T, *U) -> T for <Int, String>`, from the concrete type `(*Int, *String) -> Int`,
which will make it easier for us to differentiate the representation of those as types, for
instance by giving them different pointer authentication discriminators to harden arm64e
code.
This patch is currently NFC, it just introduces the new APIs and takes a first pass at updating
code to use them. Much more work will need to be done once we start exercising these new
fields.
This does bifurcate some existing APIs:
- SILFunctionType now has two accessors to get its generic signature.
`getSubstGenericSignature` gets the generic signature that is used to apply its
substitution map, if any. `getInvocationGenericSignature` gets the generic signature
used to invoke the function at apply sites. These differ if the generic signature is
implied.
- SILParameterInfo and SILResultInfo values carry the unsubstituted types of the parameters
and results of the function. They now have two APIs to get that type. `getInterfaceType`
returns the unsubstituted type of the generic interface, and
`getArgumentType`/`getReturnValueType` produce the substituted type that is used at
apply sites.
With the advent of dynamic_function_ref the actual callee of such a ref
my vary. Optimizations should not assume to know the content of a
function referenced by dynamic_function_ref. Introduce
getReferencedFunctionOrNull which will return null for such function
refs. And getInitialReferencedFunction to return the referenced
function.
Use as appropriate.

This disables a bunch of passes when ownership is enabled. This will allow me to
keep transparent functions in ossa and skip most of the performance pipeline without
being touched by passes that have not been updated for ownership.
This is important so that we can in -Onone code import transparent functions and
inline them into other ossa functions (you can't inline from ossa => non-ossa).
This silences the instances of the warning from Visual Studio about not all
codepaths returning a value. This makes the output more readable and less
likely to lose useful warnings. NFC.
To do so this commit does a few different things:
1. I changed SILOptFunctionBuilder to notify the pass manager's logging
functionality when new functions are added to the module and to notify analyses
as well. NOTE: This on purpose does not put the new function on the pass manager
worklist since we do not want to by mistake introduce a large amount of
re-optimizations. Such a thing should be explicit.
2. I eliminated SILModuleTransform::notifyAddFunction. This just performed the
operations from 1. Now that SILOptFunctionBuilder performs this operation for
us, it is not needed.
3. I changed SILFunctionTransform::notifyAddFunction to just add the function to
the passmanager worklist. It does not need to notify the pass manager's logging
or analyses that a new function was added to the module since
SILOptFunctionBuilder now performs that operation. Given its reduced
functionality, I changed the name to addFunctionToPassManagerWorklist(...). The
name is a little long/verbose, but this is a feature since one should think
before getting the pass manager to rerun transforms on a function. Also, giving
it a longer name calls out the operation in the code visually, giving this
operation more prominance when reading code. NOTE: I did the rename using
Xcode's refactoring functionality!

I am going to add the code in a bit that does the notifications. I tried to pass
down the builder instead of the pass manager. I also tried not to change the
formatting.

This commit does not modify those APIs or their usage. It just:
1. Moves the APIs onto SILFunctionBuilder and makes SILFunctionBuilder a friend
of SILModule.
2. Hides the APIs on SILModule so all users need to use SILFunctionBuilder to
create/destroy functions.
I am doing this in order to allow for adding/removing function notifications to
be enforced via the type system in the SILOptimizer. In the process of finishing
off CallerAnalysis for FSO, I discovered that we were not doing this everywhere
we need to. After considering various other options such as:
1. Verifying after all passes that the notifications were sent correctly and
asserting. Turned out to be expensive.
2. Putting a callback in SILModule. This would add an unnecessary virtual call.
I realized that by using a builder we can:
1. Enforce that users of SILFunctionBuilder can only construct composed function
builders by making the composed function builder's friends of
SILFunctionBuilder (notice I did not use the word subclass, I am talking
about a pure composition).
2. Refactor a huge amount of code in SILOpt/SILGen that involve function
creation onto a SILGenFunctionBuilder/SILOptFunctionBuilder struct. Many of
the SILFunction creation code in question are straight up copies of each
other with small variations. A builder would be a great way to simplify that
code.
3. Reduce the size of SILModule.cpp by 25% from ~30k -> ~23k making the whole
file easier to read.
NOTE: In this commit, I do not hide the constructor of SILFunctionBuilder since
I have not created the derived builder structs yet. Once I have created those in
a subsequent commit, I will hide that constructor.
