`Builtin.createAsyncTask` takes flags, an optional parent task, and an
async/throwing function to execute, and passes it along to the
`swift_task_create_f` entry point to create a new (potentially child)
task, returning the new task and its initial context.
Implement a new builtin, `cancelAsyncTask()`, to cancel the given
asynchronous task. This lowers down to a call into the runtime
operation `swift_task_cancel()`.
Use this builtin to implement Task.Handle.cancel().
Rather than produce an "unowned" result from `getCurrentAsyncTask()`,
take advantage of the fact that the task is effectively guaranteed in
the scope. Do so be returning it as "unowned", and push an
end_lifetime cleanup to end the lifetime. This eliminates unnecessary
ref-count traffic as well as introducing another use of unowned.
Approach is thanks to Michael Gottesman, bugs are mine.
TLDR: This patch introduces a new kind of builtin, "a polymorphic builtin". One
calls it like any other builtin, e.x.:
```
Builtin.generic_add(x, y)
```
but it has a contract: it must be specialized to a concrete builtin by the time
we hit Lowered SIL. In this commit, I add support for the following generic
operations:
Type | Op
------------------------
FloatOrVector |FAdd
FloatOrVector |FDiv
FloatOrVector |FMul
FloatOrVector |FRem
FloatOrVector |FSub
IntegerOrVector|AShr
IntegerOrVector|Add
IntegerOrVector|And
IntegerOrVector|ExactSDiv
IntegerOrVector|ExactUDiv
IntegerOrVector|LShr
IntegerOrVector|Mul
IntegerOrVector|Or
IntegerOrVector|SDiv
IntegerOrVector|SRem
IntegerOrVector|Shl
IntegerOrVector|Sub
IntegerOrVector|UDiv
IntegerOrVector|Xor
Integer |URem
NOTE: I only implemented support for the builtins in SIL and in SILGen. I am
going to implement the optimizer parts of this in a separate series of commits.
DISCUSSION
----------
Today there are polymorphic like instructions in LLVM-IR. Yet, at the
swift and SIL level we represent these operations instead as Builtins whose
names are resolved by splatting the builtin into the name. For example, adding
two things in LLVM:
```
%2 = add i64 %0, %1
%2 = add <2 x i64> %0, %1
%2 = add <4 x i64> %0, %1
%2 = add <8 x i64> %0, %1
```
Each of the add operations are done by the same polymorphic instruction. In
constrast, we splat out these Builtins in swift today, i.e.:
```
let x, y: Builtin.Int32
Builtin.add_Int32(x, y)
let x, y: Builtin.Vec4xInt32
Builtin.add_Vec4xInt32(x, y)
...
```
In SIL, we translate these verbatim and then IRGen just lowers them to the
appropriate polymorphic instruction. Beyond being verbose, these prevent these
Builtins (which need static types) from being used in polymorphic contexts where
we can guarantee that eventually a static type will be provided.
In contrast, the polymorphic builtins introduced in this commit can be passed
any type, with the proviso that the expert user using this feature can guarantee
that before we reach Lowered SIL, the generic_add has been eliminated. This is
enforced by IRGen asserting if passed such a builtin and by the SILVerifier
checking that the underlying builtin is never called once the module is in
Lowered SIL.
In forthcoming commits, I am going to add two optimizations that give the stdlib
tool writer the tools needed to use this builtin:
1. I am going to add an optimization to constant propagation that changes a
"generic_*" op to the type of its argument if the argument is a type that is
valid for the builtin (i.e. integer or vector).
2. I am going to teach the SILCloner how to specialize these as it inlines. This
ensures that when we transparent inline, we specialize the builtin automatically
and can then form SSA at -Onone using predictable memory access operations.
The main implication around these polymorphic builtins are that if an author is
not able to specialize the builtin, they need to ensure that after constant
propagation, the generic builtin has been DCEed. The general rules are that the
-Onone optimizer will constant fold branches with constant integer operands. So
if one can use a bool of some sort to trigger the operation, one can be
guaranteed that the code will not codegen. I am considering putting in some sort
of diagnostic to ensure that the stdlib writer has a good experience (e.x. get
an error instead of crashing the compiler).
Returns `true` if `T.Type` is known to refer to a concrete type. The
implementation allows for the optimizer to specialize this at -O and
eliminate conditional code.
Includes `Swift._isConcrete<T>(T.Type) -> Bool` wrapper function.
The SIL generation for this builtin also changes: instead of generating the cond_fail instructions upfront, let the optimizer generate it, if the operand is a static string literal.
In worst case, if the second operand is not a static string literal, the Builtin.condfail is lowered at the end of the optimization pipeline with a default message: "unknown program error".

String -> Builtin.RawPointer that given a string constructed from a
literal, returns the address of the string literal in the global string
table of the compiled binary as a pointer.
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).

`#assert` is a new static assertion statement that will let us write
tests for the new constant evaluation infrastructure that we are working
on. `#assert` works by lowering to a `Builtin.poundAssert` SIL
instruction. The constant evaluation infrastructure will look for these
SIL instructions, const-evaluate their conditions, and emit errors if
the conditions are non-constant or false.
This commit implements parsing, typechecking and SILGen for `#assert`.
In the included, test case, the optimization was sinking
releases past is_escaping_closure.
Rewrite the isBarrier logic to be conservative and define the
mayCheckRefCount property in SIL/InstructionUtils. Properties that may
need to be updated when SIL changes belong there.
Note that it is particularly bad behavior if the presence of access
markers in the code cause miscompiles unrelated to access enforcement.
Fixes <rdar://problem/45846920> TestFoundation, TestProcess, closure
argument passed as @noescape to Objective-C has escaped.
General case:
begin_access A
...
strong_release / release_value / destroy
end_access
The release instruction can be sunk below the end_access instruction,
This extends the lifetime of the released value, but, might allow us to
Mark the access scope as no nested conflict.
