Previously, the name of the entry point function was always main. Here,
a new frontend flag is added to enable an arbitrary name to be
specified.

This follows the design of how we handled this with
sil-verify-all. Specifically, the default behavior is to run only in asserts
builds, but one can use the two flags: enable-ast-verifier and
disable-ast-verifier to override the default behavior.
The reason why this is interesting is that this means that when compiling
normally, we will not run the verifier, so we won't have a perf hit. But we can
now ask the user to run with this flag (or in a future maybe a re-run in the
driver would do this for them), saving us time when screening bugs by avoiding
the need to build an asserts compiler to triage if the ASTVerifier would catch
the bug.
-enable-subst-sil-function-types-for-function-values
-enable-large-loadable-types
These defaulted to on, and there were no corresponding flags for
turning them off, so the flags had no effect.
This change adds a frontend flag, -verify-additional-file, which can be used to pass extra files directly to the diagnostic verifier. These files are not otherwise considered to be Swift source files; they are not compiled or even properly parsed.
This feature can be used to verify diagnostics emitted in non-source files, such as in module interfaces or header files.
Previously Swift enabled the "UseOdrIndicator" ASan instrumentation mode
and gave no option to disable this. This probably wasn't intentional but
happened due to the fact the
`createModuleAddressSanitizerLegacyPassPass()` function has a default
value for the `UseOdrIndicator` parameter of `true` and in Swift we
never specified this parameter explicitly.
Clang disables the "UseOdrIndicator" mode by default but allows it to be
enabled using the `-fsanitize-address-use-odr-indicator` flag.
Having "UseOdrIndicator" off by default is probably the right
default choice because it bloats the binary. So this patch changes the
Swift compiler to match Clang's behavior.
This patch disables the "UseOdrIndicator" mode by default but adds a
hidden driver and frontend flag (`-sanitize-address-use-odr-indicator`)
to enable it. The flag is hidden so that we can remove it in the future
if needed.
A side effect of disabling "UseOdrIndicator" is that by we will no
longer use private aliases for poisoning globals. Private aliases were
introduced to avoid crashes
(https://github.com/google/sanitizers/issues/398) due to ODR violations
with non-instrumented binaries. On Apple platforms the use of two-level
namespaces probably means that using private aliases wasn't ever really
necessary to avoid crashes. On platforms with a flat linking namespace
(e.g. Linux) using private aliases might matter more but should users
actually run into problems they can either:
* Fix their environment to remove the ODR, thus avoiding the crash.
* Instrument the previously non-instrumented code to avoid the crash.
* Use the new `-sanitize-address-use-odr-indicator` flag

swift-driver passes down an SDK version number with a non-existing build number as 0.
The compiler should be resilient to this so we can locate prebuilt module cache.

Passing the frontend flag -Rmodule-loading makes the compiler emit
remarks with the path of every module loaded. The path for Swift modules
is either the swiftinterface file for modules built with library
evolution or the binary swiftmodule otherwise. The path for clangmodules
is always in the cache which could be improved as it may be less useful.
Here's an extract of the output for a simple SwiftUI app:

This frontend flag can be used as an alternative to
-experimental-skip-non-inlinable-function-bodies that doesn’t skip
functions defining nested types. We want to keep these types as they are
used by LLDB. Other functions ares safe to skip parsing and
type-checking.
rdar://71130519
Adds a new frontend option
"-experimental-allow-module-with-compiler-errors". If any compilation
errors occur while generating the .swiftmodule, this mode will skip SIL
entirely and only serialize the (likey invalid) AST.
This existence of this option during generation is serialized into the
resulting .swiftmodule. Errors found in deserialization are only allowed
if it is set.
Primarily intended for IDE requests (eg. indexing and code completion)
to ensure robust cross-module results, despite possible errors.
Resolves rdar://69815975
Adds a new flag "-experimental-skip-all-function-bodies" that skips
typechecking and SIL generation for all function bodies (where
possible).
`didSet` functions are still typechecked and have SIL generated as their
body is checked for the `oldValue` parameter, but are not serialized.
Parsing will generally be skipped as well, but this isn't necessarily
the case since other flags (eg. "-verify-syntax-tree") may force delayed
parsing off.
If a conformance is defined in an extension, we now look for
references to the conformance in types and expressions and
respect's the extension's availability (or deprecation, etc).
The conformance checker itself still needs to check conformance
availability of associated conformances and the like; that will
be a separate change.
Note that conformances defined on types don't require any
special handling, since they are as available as the
intersection of the conforming type and the protocol.
By default, we diagnose conformance availability violations
where the OS version is not sufficiently new as warnings, to
avoid breaking source compatibility. Stricter behavior where
these violations are diagnosed as errors is enabled by passing
the -enable-conformance-availability-errors flag. There are
test cases that run both with and without this flag. In the
future, we hope to make the stricter behavior the default,
since after all, violations here can result in link errors and
runtime crashes.
Uses of completely unavailable conformances are still always
diagnosed as errors, even when this flag is not passed in.
Progress on <rdar://problem/35158274>.
Introduce availability macros defined by a frontend flag.
This feature makes it possible to set the availability
versions at the moment of compilation instead of having
it hard coded in the sources. It can be used by projects
with a need to change the availability depending on the
compilation context while using the same sources.
The availability macro is defined with the `-define-availability` flag:
swift MyLib.swift -define-availability "_iOS8Aligned:macOS 10.10, iOS 8.0" ..
The macro can be used in code instead of a platform name and version:
@available(_iOS8Aligned, *)
public func foo() {}
