This fixes type punning issues with unsafeBitCast.
The optimizer is still too aggressive with UnsafePointer. To fix that,
we first need an explicit API for circumventing type safety
(rdar://23406272).
I should be able to fix the following regressions by migrating the
stdlib away from unsafeBitCast to unsafeReferenceCast (~2 weeks).

We need a SIL level unsafe cast that supports arbitrary usage of
UnsafePointer, generalizes Builtin.reinterpretCast, and has the same
semantics on generic vs. nongeneric code. In other words, we need to
be able to promote the cast of an address type to the cast of an
object type without changing semantics, and that cast needs to support
types that are not layout identical.
This patch introduces an unchecked_bitwise_cast instruction for that
purpose. It is different from unsafe_addr_cast, which has been our
fall-back "unknown" cast in the past. With unchecked_bitwise_cast we
cannot assume layout or RC identity. The cast implies a store and
reload of the value to obtain the low order bytes. I know that
bit_cast is just an abbreviation for bitwise_cast, but we use
"bitcast" throught to imply copying a same sized value. No one could
come up with a better name for copying an objects low bytes via:
@addr = alloca $wideTy
store @addr, $wideTy
load @addr, $narrowTy
Followup patches will optimize unchecked_bitwise_cast into more
semantically useful unchecked casts when enough type information is
present. This way, the optimizer will rarely need to be taught about
the bitwise case.

Preparation to fix <rdar://problem/18151694> Add Builtin.checkUnique
to avoid lost Array copies.
This adds the following new builtins:
isUnique : <T> (inout T[?]) -> Int1
isUniqueOrPinned : <T> (inout T[?]) -> Int1
These builtins take an inout object reference and return a
boolean. Passing the reference inout forces the optimizer to preserve
a retain distinct from what’s required to maintain lifetime for any of
the reference's source-level copies, because the called function is
allowed to replace the reference, thereby releasing the referent.
Before this change, the API entry points for uniqueness checking
already took an inout reference. However, after full inlining, it was
possible for two source-level variables that reference the same object
to appear to be the same variable from the optimizer's perspective
because an address to the variable was longer taken at the point of
checking uniqueness. Consequently the optimizer could remove
"redundant" copies which were actually needed to implement
copy-on-write semantics. With a builtin, the variable whose reference
is being checked for uniqueness appears mutable at the level of an
individual SIL instruction.
The kind of reference count checking that Builtin.isUnique performs
depends on the argument type:
- Native object types are directly checked by reading the
strong reference count:
(Builtin.NativeObject, known native class reference)
- Objective-C object types require an additional check that the
dynamic object type uses native swift reference counting:
(Builtin.UnknownObject, unknown class reference, class existential)
- Bridged object types allow the dymanic object type check to be
bypassed based on the pointer encoding:
(Builtin.BridgeObject)
Any of the above types may also be wrapped in an optional. If the
static argument type is optional, then a null check is also performed.
Thus, isUnique only returns true for non-null, native swift object
references with a strong reference count of one.
isUniqueOrPinned has the same semantics as isUnique except that it
also returns true if the object is marked pinned regardless of the
reference count. This allows for simultaneous non-structural
modification of multiple subobjects.
In some cases, the standard library can dynamically determine that it
has a native reference even though the static type is a bridge or
unknown object. Unsafe variants of the builtin are available to allow
the additional pointer bit mask and dynamic class lookup to be
bypassed in these cases:
isUnique_native : <T> (inout T[?]) -> Int1
isUniqueOrPinned_native : <T> (inout T[?]) -> Int1
These builtins perform an implicit cast to NativeObject before
checking uniqueness. There’s no way at SIL level to cast the address
of a reference, so we need to encapsulate this operation as part of
the builtin.

reference to something of class type. This is required to model
RebindSelfInConstructorExpr correctly to DI, since in the class case,
self.init and super.init *take* a value out of class box so that it
can pass the +1 value without performing an extra retain. Nothing
else in the compiler uninitializes a DI-controlled memory object
like this, so nothing else needs this. DI really doesn't like something
going from initialized to uninitialized.
Yes, I feel super-gross about this and am really unhappy about it. I
may end up reverting this if I can find an alternate solution to this
problem.

I made a preliminary effort to make the inliner do the
right thing with try_apply, but otherwise tried to avoid
touching the optimizer any more than was required by the
removal of ApplyInstBase.

This utility attempts to delete dead closures with a set of
post-dominating releases using the infrastructure from
getFinalReleasesForValue.
It currently only will eliminate closures that only have retain, release
uses and a final post-dominating release set.
The reason why we need the final post-dominating release set is so that
we can release any captured variables at the points where we would have
deallocated the release. This is b/c captured variables are passed in at
+1 to partial apply.
Swift SVN r25050
I am going to use this in closure specialization to remove dead closures. We
should refactor the SILCombine dead closure removal to use this code path as
well.
Additionally, we should change the valueMayBeCaptured infrastructure to take a
struct like we do in LLVM so we can ignore casts and other things like that
additionally by injecting the logic to do so via the struct.
But that is for another day.

storage for arbitrary values.
A buffer doesn't provide any way to identify the type of
value it stores, and so it cannot be copied, moved, or
destroyed independently; thus it's not available as a
first-class type in Swift, which is why I've labelled
it Unsafe. But it does allow an efficient means of
opaquely preserving information between two cooperating
functions. This will be useful for the adjustments I
need to make to materializeForSet to support safe
addressors.
I considered making this a SIL type category instead,
like $@value_buffer T. This is an attractive idea because
it's generally better-typed. The disadvantages are that:
- it would need its own address_to_pointer equivalents and
- alloc_stack doesn't know what type will be stored in
any particular buffer, so there still needs to be
something opaque.
This representation is a bit gross, but it'll do.

Using the intrinsics is obnoxious because I needed them
to return Builtin.NativeObject?, but there's no reasonable
way to safely generate optional types from Builtins.cpp.
Ugh.
Dave and I also decided that there's no need for
swift_tryPin to allow a null object.

This is a type that has ownership of a reference while allowing access to the
spare bits inside the pointer, but which can also safely hold an ObjC tagged pointer
reference (with no spare bits of course). It additionally blesses one
Foundation-coordinated bit with the meaning of "has swift refcounting" in order
to get a faster short-circuit to native refcounting. It supports the following
builtin operations:
- Builtin.castToBridgeObject<T>(ref: T, bits: Builtin.Word) ->
Builtin.BridgeObject
Creates a BridgeObject that contains the bitwise-OR of the bit patterns of
"ref" and "bits". It is the user's responsibility to ensure "bits" doesn't
interfere with the reference identity of the resulting value. In other words,
it is undefined behavior unless:
castReferenceFromBridgeObject(castToBridgeObject(ref, bits)) === ref
This means "bits" must be zero if "ref" is a tagged pointer. If "ref" is a real
object pointer, "bits" must not have any non-spare bits set (unless they're
already set in the pointer value). The native discriminator bit may only be set
if the object is Swift-refcounted.
- Builtin.castReferenceFromBridgeObject<T>(bo: Builtin.BridgeObject) -> T
Extracts the reference from a BridgeObject.
- Builtin.castBitPatternFromBridgeObject(bo: Builtin.BridgeObject) -> Builtin.Word
Presents the bit pattern of a BridgeObject as a Word.
BridgeObject's bits are set up as follows on the various platforms:
i386, armv7:
No ObjC tagged pointers
Swift native refcounting flag bit: 0x0000_0001
Other available spare bits: 0x0000_0002

Modeling builtins as first-class function values doesn't really make sense because there's no real function value to emit, and modeling them this way complicates passes that work with builtins because they have to invent function types for builtin invocations. It's much more straightforward to have a single instruction that references the builtin by ID, along with the type information for the necessary values, type parameters, and results, so add a new "builtin" instruction that directly represents a builtin invocation. NFC yet.
