Parameters (to methods, initializers, accessors, subscripts, etc) have always been represented
as Pattern's (of a particular sort), stemming from an early design direction that was abandoned.
Being built on top of patterns leads to patterns being overly complicated (e.g. tuple patterns
have to have varargs and default parameters) and make working on parameter lists complicated
and error prone. This might have been ok in 2015, but there is no way we can live like this in
2016.
Instead of using Patterns, carve out a new ParameterList and Parameter type to represent all the
parameter specific stuff. This simplifies many things and allows a lot of simplifications.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do this very incrementally, so this is a huge patch. The good
news is that it erases a ton of code, and the technical debt that went with it. Ignoring test
suite changes, we have:
77 files changed, 2359 insertions(+), 3221 deletions(-)
This patch also makes a bunch of wierd things dead, but I'll sweep those out in follow-on
patches.
Fixes <rdar://problem/22846558> No code completions in Foo( when Foo has error type
Fixes <rdar://problem/24026538> Slight regression in generated header, which I filed to go with 3a23d75.
Fixes an overloading bug involving default arguments and curried functions (see the diff to
Constraints/diagnostics.swift, which we now correctly accept).
Fixes cases where problems with parameters would get emitted multiple times, e.g. in the
test/Parse/subscripting.swift testcase.
The source range for ParamDecl now includes its type, which permutes some of the IDE / SourceModel tests
(for the better, I think).
Eliminates the bogus "type annotation missing in pattern" error message when a type isn't
specified for a parameter (see test/decl/func/functions.swift).
This now consistently parenthesizes argument lists in function types, which leads to many diffs in the
SILGen tests among others.
This does break the "sibling indentation" test in SourceKit/CodeFormat/indent-sibling.swift, and
I haven't been able to figure it out. Given that this is experimental functionality anyway,
I'm just XFAILing the test for now. i'll look at it separately from this mongo diff.
In matchTypes(), we check whether a type variable representing an
argument could potentially be bound to a single param in a TupleType
rather than the whole TupleType, but this check has been pretty
heuristic and ad hoc so far. Replace with an explicit check to see if
it's possible for exactly one of the parameters in the tuple type can be
bound to a single unlabeled argument.
<rdar://problem/22913570>
mode (take 2)
Allow untyped placeholder to take arbitrary type, but default to Void.
Add _undefined<T>() function, which is like fatalError() but has
arbitrary return type. In playground mode, merely warn about outstanding
placeholders instead of erroring out, and transform placeholders into
calls to _undefined(). This way, code with outstanding placeholders will
only crash when it attempts to evaluate such placeholders.
When generating constraints for an iterated sequence of type T, emit
T convertible to $T1
$T1 conforms to SequenceType
instead of
T convertible to SequenceType
This ensures that an untyped placeholder in for-each sequence position
doesn't get inferred to have type SequenceType. (The conversion is still
necessary because the sequence may have IUO type.) The new constraint
system precipitates changes in CSSimplify and CSDiag, and ends up fixing
18741539 along the way.
(NOTE: There is a small regression in diagnosis of issues like the
following:
class C {}
class D: C {}
func f(a: [C]!) { for _: D in a {} }
It complains that [C]! doesn't conform to SequenceType when it should be
complaining that C is not convertible to D.)
<rdar://problem/21167372>
(Originally Swift SVN r31481)
Don't assert that generic arg lists have the same lengths. We don't
currently allow nested generics, but we try to type-check anyway, and
one of the effects is sticking the generic params for both the outer and
inner classes on the inner type. Instead, just error out.
<rdar://problem/21967211>
Introduce a new constraint kind, BindParam, which relates the type of a
function parameter to the type of a reference to it from within the
function body. If the param type is an inout type, the ref type is an
lvalue type with the same underlying object type; otherwise the two
types must be the same. This prevents DeclRefExprs from being inferred
to have inout type in some cases.
<rdar://problem/15998821> Fail to infer types for closure that takes an inout argument

of providing contextual diagnostics (e.g. producing the warning in
Constraints/dynamic_lookup.swift). This drops a specific diagnostic about
force casting the result of as! which was added in the Swift 1.2 timeframe
to explain the change in cast semantics. Now that as! has been around for
a long time, it is more confusing than helpful.
Swift SVN r31887
- Enhance the branch new argument label overload diagnostic to just
print the argument labels that are the problem, instead of printing
the types inferred at the argument context. This can lead to confusion
particularly when an argument label is missing. For example before:
error: argument labels '(Int)' do not match any available overloads
note: overloads for 'TestOverloadSets.init' exist with these partially matching parameter lists: (a: Z0), (value: Int), (value: Double)
after:
error: argument labels '(_:)' do not match any available overloads
note: overloads for 'TestOverloadSets.init' exist with these partially matching parameter lists: (a: Z0), (value: Int), (value: Double)
Second, fix <rdar://problem/22451001> QoI: incorrect diagnostic when argument to print has the wrong type
by specifically diagnosing the problem when you pass in an argument to a nullary function. Before:
error: cannot convert value of type 'Int' to expected argument type '()'
after:
error: argument passed to call that takes no arguments
print(r22451001(5))

change its implementation to take a list of TupleTypeElt for both the
from/to tuple type, but provider a convenience wrapper that takes the
from/to tuple type as TupleType's.

fixit hint in CSDiags instead of being a FixKind. This resolves a number of issues with
it, particularly that it didn't actually check to see if the function in question takes
a () argument or not.
This fixes:
<rdar://problem/21692808> QoI: Incorrect 'add ()' fixit with trailing closure

expr diagnosis stuff, giving us much better diagnostics on the cases in
expr/closure/closures.swift. This is part #2 of resolving
<rdar://problem/22333281> QoI: improve diagnostic when contextual type of closure disagrees with arguments
Swift SVN r31717
This allows us to remove the workaround generic overloads for "print" without sacrificing good diagnostics for its unavailable overloads. (rdar://problem/21499048, rdar://problem/21582758, rdar://problem/22126141)

the regressions that r31105 introduced in the validation tests, as well as fixing a number
of other validation tests as well.
Introduce a new UnresolvedType to the type system, and have CSDiags start to use it
as a way to get more type information out of incorrect subexpressions. UnresolvedType
generally just propagates around the type system like a type variable:
- it magically conforms to all protocols
- it CSGens as an unconstrained type variable.
- it ASTPrints as _, just like a type variable.
The major difference is that UnresolvedType can be used outside the context of a
ConstraintSystem, which is useful for CSGen since it sets up several of them to
diagnose subexpressions w.r.t. their types.
For now, our use of this is extremely limited: when a closureexpr has no contextual
type available and its parameters are invalid, we wipe them out with UnresolvedType
(instead of the previous nulltype dance) to get ambiguities later on.
We also introduce a new FreeTypeVariableBinding::UnresolvedType approach for
constraint solving (and use this only in one place in CSDiags so far, to resolve
the callee of a CallExpr) which solves a system and rewrites any leftover type
variables as UnresolvedTypes. This allows us to get more precise information out,
for example, diagnosing:
func r22162441(lines: [String]) {
lines.map { line in line.fooBar() }
}
with: value of type 'String' has no member 'fooBar'
instead of: type of expression is ambiguous without more context
This improves a number of other diagnostics as well, but is just the infrastructural
stepping stone for greater things.

There's still work left to do. In terms of next steps, there's still rdar://problem/22126141, which covers removing the 'workaround' overloads for print (that prevent bogus overload resolution failures), as well as providing a decent diagnostic when users invoke print with 'appendNewline'.
