Add `async` to the type system. `async` can be written as part of a
function type or function declaration, following the parameter list, e.g.,
func doSomeWork() async { ... }
`async` functions are distinct from non-`async` functions and there
are no conversions amongst them. At present, `async` functions do not
*do* anything, but this commit fully supports them as a distinct kind
of function throughout:
* Parsing of `async`
* AST representation of `async` in declarations and types
* Syntactic type representation of `async`
* (De-/re-)mangling of function types involving 'async'
* Runtime type representation and reconstruction of function types
involving `async`.
* Dynamic casting restrictions for `async` function types
* (De-)serialization of `async` function types
* Disabling overriding, witness matching, and conversions with
differing `async`
Annotate the covered switches with `llvm_unreachable` to avoid the MSVC
warning which does not recognise the covered switches. This allows us
to avoid a spew of warnings.
All callers can trivially be refactored to use ModuleDecl::lookupConformance()
instead. Since this was the last flag in ConformanceCheckOptions, we can remove
that, too.
Previously, two conditions were necessary to enable differentiable programming:
- Using the `-enable-experimental-differentiable-programming` frontend flag.
- Importing the `_Differentiation` module.
Importing the `_Differentiation` module is the true condition because it
contains the required compiler-known `Differentiable` protocol. The frontend
flag is redundant and cumbersome.
Now, the frontend flag is removed.
Importing `_Differentiation` is the only condition.
Add `AdditiveArithmetic` derived conformances for structs, gated by the
`-enable-experimential-additive-arithmetic-derivation` flag.
Structs whose stored properties all conform to `AdditiveArithmetic` can derive
`AdditiveArithmetic`:
- `static var zero: Self`
- `static func +(lhs: Self, rhs: Self) -> Self`
- `static func -(lhs: Self, rhs: Self) -> Self`
- An "effective memberwise initializer":
- Either a synthesized memberwise initializer or a user-defined initializer
with the same type.
Effective memberwise initializers are used only by derived conformances for
`Self`-returning protocol requirements like `AdditiveArithmetic.+`, which
require memberwise initialization.
Resolves TF-844.
Unblocks TF-845: upstream `Differentiable` derived conformances.
