The new type, called ExistentialType, is not yet used in type resolution.
Later, existential types written with `any` will resolve to this type, and
bare protocol names will resolve to this type depending on context.
- Frontend: Implicitly import `_StringProcessing` when frontend flag `-enable-experimental-string-processing` is set.
- Type checker: Set a regex literal expression's type as `_StringProcessing.Regex<(Substring, DynamicCaptures)>`. `(Substring, DynamicCaptures)` is a temporary `Match` type that will help get us to an end-to-end working system. This will be replaced by actual type inference based a regex's pattern in a follow-up patch (soon).
- SILGen: Lower a regex literal expression to a call to `_StringProcessing.Regex.init(_regexString:)`.
- String processing runtime: Add `Regex`, `DynamicCaptures` (matching actual APIs in apple/swift-experimental-string-processing), and `Regex(_regexString:)`.
Upcoming:
- Build `_MatchingEngine` and `_StringProcessing` modules with sources from apple/swift-experimental-string-processing.
- Replace `DynamicCaptures` with inferred capture types.
To give a bit more information, currently the way the move function is
implemented is that:
1. SILGen emits a builtin "move" that is called within the function _move in the
stdlib.
2. Mandatory Inlining today if the final inlined type is address only, inlines
builtin "move" as mark_unresolved_move_addr. Otherwise, if the inlined type
is loadable, it performs a load [take] + move [diagnostic] + store [init].
3. In the diagnostic pipeline before any mem optimizations have run, we run the
move checker for addresses. This eliminates /all/ mark_unresolved_move_addr
as part of emitting diagnostics. In order to make this work, we perform a
small optimization before the checker runs that moves the
mark_unresolved_move_addr from being on temporary alloc_stacks to the true
base underlying address we are trying to move. This optimization is necessary
since _move is generic and often times SILGen will emit this temporary that
we do not want.
4. Then after we have run the guaranteed mem optimizations, we run the object
based move checker emitting diagnostics.
This PR changes the scheme above to the following:
1. SILGen emits a builtin "move" that is called within the function _move in the
stdlib.
2. Mandatory Inlining inlines builtin "move" as mark_unresolved_move_addr.
3. In the diagnostic pipeline before we have run any mem optimizations and
before we have run the actual move address checker, we massage the IR as we
do above but in a separate pass where in addition we try to match this pattern:
```
%temporary = alloc_stack $LoadableType
store %1 to [init] %temporary : $*LoadableType
mark_unresolved_move_addr %temporary to %otherAddr : $*LoadableType
destroy_addr %temporary : $*LoadableType
```
and transform it to:
```
%temporary = alloc_stack $LoadableType
%2 = move_value [allows_diagnostics] %1 : $*LoadableType
store %2 to [init] %temporary : $*LoadableType
destroy_addr %temporary : $*LoadableType
```
ensuring that the object move checker will handle this.
4. Then after we have run the guaranteed mem optimizations, we run the object
based move checker emitting diagnostics.
Extend the implicit Sendable request to produce an inherited
conformance when queried, rather than depending on the conformance
lookup table to always have the right entries. This acknowledges that
implicit Sendable needs to happen more at the type checking level than
the name-binding level, which is needed to eliminate cyclic
dependencies.
The effect of passing -enable-copy-propagation is both to enable the
CopyPropagation pass to shorten object lifetimes and also to enable
lexical lifetimes to ensure that object lifetimes aren't shortened while
a variable is still in scope and used.
Add a new flag, -enable-lexical-borrow-scopes=true to override
-enable-copy-propagation's effect (setting it to ::ExperimentalLate) on
SILOptions::LexicalLifetimes that sets it to ::Early even in the face of
-enable-copy-propagation. The old flag -disable-lexical-lifetimes is
renamed to -enable-lexical-borrow-scopes=false but continues to set that
option to ::Off even when -enable-copy-propagation is passed.
Adding the ability to add an optional message to the unavailable from
async attribute. This can be used to indicate other possible API to use,
or help explain why it's unavailable.
During copy propagation (for which -enable-copy-propagation must still
be passed), also try to shrink borrow scopes by hoisting end_borrows
using the newly added ShrinkBorrowScope utility.
Allow end_borrow instructions to be hoisted over instructions that are
not deinit barriers for the value which is borrowed. Deinit barriers
include uses of the value, loads of memory, loads of weak references
that may be zeroed during deinit, and "synchronization points".

With `-enable-experimental-string-processing`,
start lexing `'` delimiters as regex literals (this
is just a placeholder delimiter for now). The
contents of which gets passed to the libswift
library, which can return an error string to be
emitted, or null for success.
The libswift side isn't yet hooked up to the Swift
regex parser, so for now just emit a dummy
diagnostic for regexes starting with quantifiers.
If successful, build an AST node which will be
emitted as an implicit call to an
`init(_regexString:)` initializer of an in-scope
`Regex` decl (which will eventually be a known
stdlib decl).
This instruction is similar to a copy_addr except that it marks a move of an
address that has to be checked. In order to keep the memory lifetime verifier
happy, the semantics before the checker runs are the mark_unresolved_move_addr is
equivalent to copy_addr [init] (not copy_addr [take][init]).
The use of this instruction is that Mandatory Inlining converts builtin "move"
to a mark_unresolved_move_addr when inlining the function "_move" (the only
place said builtin is invoked).
This is then run through a special checker (that is later in this PR) that
either proves that the mark_unresolved_move_addr can actually be a move in which
case it converts it to copy_addr [take][init] or if it can not be a move, emit
an error and convert the instruction to a copy_addr [init]. After this is done
for all instructions, we loop back through again and emit an error on any
mark_unresolved_move_addr that were not processed earlier allowing for us to
know that we have completeness.
NOTE: The move kills checker for addresses is going to run after Mandatory
Inlining, but before predictable memory opts and friends.
