In order to allow this, I've had to rework the syntax of substituted function types; what was previously spelled `<T> in () -> T for <X>` is now spelled `@substituted <T> () -> T for <X>`. I think this is a nice improvement for readability, but it did require me to churn a lot of test cases.
Distinguishing the substitutions has two chief advantages over the existing representation. First, the semantics seem quite a bit clearer at use points; the `implicit` bit was very subtle and not always obvious how to use. More importantly, it allows the expression of generic function types that must satisfy a particular generic abstraction pattern, which was otherwise impossible to express.
As an example of the latter, consider the following protocol conformance:
```
protocol P { func foo() }
struct A<T> : P { func foo() {} }
```
The lowered signature of `P.foo` is `<Self: P> (@in_guaranteed Self) -> ()`. Without this change, the lowered signature of `A.foo`'s witness would be `<T> (@in_guaranteed A<T>) -> ()`, which does not preserve information about the conformance substitution in any useful way. With this change, the lowered signature of this witness could be `<T> @substituted <Self: P> (@in_guaranteed Self) -> () for <A<T>>`, which nicely preserves the exact substitutions which relate the witness to the requirement.
When we adopt this, it will both obviate the need for the special witness-table conformance field in SILFunctionType and make it far simpler for the SILOptimizer to devirtualize witness methods. This patch does not actually take that step, however; it merely makes it possible to do so.
As another piece of unfinished business, while `SILFunctionType::substGenericArgs()` conceptually ought to simply set the given substitutions as the invocation substitutions, that would disturb a number of places that expect that method to produce an unsubstituted type. This patch only set invocation arguments when the generic type is a substituted type, which we currently never produce in type-lowering.
My plan is to start by producing substituted function types for accessors. Accessors are an important case because the coroutine continuation function is essentially an implicit component of the function type which the current substitution rules simply erase the intended abstraction of. They're also used in narrower ways that should exercise less of the optimizer.
By convention, most structs and classes in the Swift compiler include a `dump()` method which prints debugging information. This method is meant to be called only from the debugger, but this means they’re often unused and may be eliminated from optimized binaries. On the other hand, some parts of the compiler call `dump()` methods directly despite them being intended as a pure debugging aid. clang supports attributes which can be used to avoid these problems, but they’re used very inconsistently across the compiler.
This commit adds `SWIFT_DEBUG_DUMP` and `SWIFT_DEBUG_DUMPER(<name>(<params>))` macros to declare `dump()` methods with the appropriate set of attributes and adopts this macro throughout the frontend. It does not pervasively adopt this macro in SILGen, SILOptimizer, or IRGen; these components use `dump()` methods in a different way where they’re frequently called from debugging code. Nor does it adopt it in runtime components like swiftRuntime and swiftReflection, because I’m a bit worried about size.
Despite the large number of files and lines affected, this change is NFC.
ProtocolConformanceRef already has an invalid state. Drop all of the
uses of Optional<ProtocolConformanceRef> and just use
ProtocolConformanceRef::forInvalid() to represent it. Mechanically
translate all of the callers and callsites to use this new
representation.

This prepares SIL to be able to more accurately preserve the calling convention of
polymorphic generic interfaces by letting the type system represent "substituted function types".
We add a couple of fields to SILFunctionType to support this:
- A substitution map, accessed by `getSubstitutions()`, which maps the generic signature
of the function to its concrete implementation. This will allow, for instance, a protocol
witness for a requirement of type `<Self: P> (Self, ...) -> ...` for a concrete conforming
type `Foo` to express its type as `<Self: P> (Self, ...) -> ... for <Foo>`, preserving the relation
to the protocol interface without relying on the pile of hacks that is the `witness_method`
protocol.
- A bool for whether the generic signature of the function is "implied" by the substitutions.
If true, the generic signature isn't really part of the calling convention of the function.
This will allow closure types to distinguish a closure being passed to a generic function, like
`<T, U> in (*T, *U) -> T for <Int, String>`, from the concrete type `(*Int, *String) -> Int`,
which will make it easier for us to differentiate the representation of those as types, for
instance by giving them different pointer authentication discriminators to harden arm64e
code.
This patch is currently NFC, it just introduces the new APIs and takes a first pass at updating
code to use them. Much more work will need to be done once we start exercising these new
fields.
This does bifurcate some existing APIs:
- SILFunctionType now has two accessors to get its generic signature.
`getSubstGenericSignature` gets the generic signature that is used to apply its
substitution map, if any. `getInvocationGenericSignature` gets the generic signature
used to invoke the function at apply sites. These differ if the generic signature is
implied.
- SILParameterInfo and SILResultInfo values carry the unsubstituted types of the parameters
and results of the function. They now have two APIs to get that type. `getInterfaceType`
returns the unsubstituted type of the generic interface, and
`getArgumentType`/`getReturnValueType` produce the substituted type that is used at
apply sites.
The XXOptUtils.h convention is already established and parallels
the SIL/XXUtils convention.
New:
- InstOptUtils.h
- CFGOptUtils.h
- BasicBlockOptUtils.h
- ValueLifetime.h
Removed:
- Local.h
- Two conflicting CFG.h files
This reorganization is helpful before I introduce more
utilities for block cloning similar to SinkAddressProjections.
Move the control flow utilies out of Local.h, which was an
unreadable, unprincipled mess. Rename it to InstOptUtils.h, and
confine it to small APIs for working with individual instructions.
These are the optimizer's additions to /SIL/InstUtils.h.
Rename CFG.h to CFGOptUtils.h and remove the one in /Analysis. Now
there is only SIL/CFG.h, resolving the naming conflict within the
swift project (this has always been a problem for source tools). Limit
this header to low-level APIs for working with branches and CFG edges.
Add BasicBlockOptUtils.h for block level transforms (it makes me sad
that I can't use BBOptUtils.h, but SIL already has
BasicBlockUtils.h). These are larger APIs for cloning or removing
whole blocks.
Structurally prevent a number of common anti-patterns involving generic
signatures by separating the interface into GenericSignature and the
implementation into GenericSignatureBase. In particular, this allows
the comparison operators to be deleted which forces callers to
canonicalize the signature or ask to compare pointers explicitly.
The new rule is that an argument will be exploded if one of the
following sets of conditions hold:
(1) (a) Specializing the function will result in a thunk. That is, the
thunk that is generated cannot be inlined everywhere.
(b) The argument has dead non-trivial leaves.
(c) The argument has fewer than three live leaves.
(2) (a) Specializing the function will not result in a thunk. That is,
the thunk that is generated will be inlined everywhere and
eliminated as dead code.
(b) The argument has dead potentially trivial leaves.
(c) The argument has fewer than six live leaves.
This change is based heavily on @gottesm's

The new flag -sil-fso-optimize-if-not-called forced function signature
optimization to run even on functions which are not called. Doing so is
helpful for tests to alleviate the burden of writing code to actually
call a function in whose function signature optimization we are
interested.
With the advent of dynamic_function_ref the actual callee of such a ref
my vary. Optimizations should not assume to know the content of a
function referenced by dynamic_function_ref. Introduce
getReferencedFunctionOrNull which will return null for such function
refs. And getInitialReferencedFunction to return the referenced
function.
Use as appropriate.

This is a bug fix that just bails out of FSO, which is exactly what we
should be doing in this case anyway.
This issue will be exposed in stdlib builds once I fix another bug in
the passmanager. Once the pass pipeline restart works as intended, we
will perform FSO on `F`, then devirtualization will discover a new
reference to `F`, causing it to be pushed back on the function pass
pipeline.
The current inlining strategy doesn't support inlining coroutines
when there are multiple end_apply or abort_apply instructions in
the caller, so refuse to inline such cases. Also, handle the case
where there are no yield instructions in the callee, which can
happen if e.g. the callee calls a no-return function.
I also simplified the code somewhat by removing the vestiges of the
code that tried to unify control flow with switches.
As an unrelated fix, suppress function signature optimization for
coroutines for now.
To do so this commit does a few different things:
1. I changed SILOptFunctionBuilder to notify the pass manager's logging
functionality when new functions are added to the module and to notify analyses
as well. NOTE: This on purpose does not put the new function on the pass manager
worklist since we do not want to by mistake introduce a large amount of
re-optimizations. Such a thing should be explicit.
2. I eliminated SILModuleTransform::notifyAddFunction. This just performed the
operations from 1. Now that SILOptFunctionBuilder performs this operation for
us, it is not needed.
3. I changed SILFunctionTransform::notifyAddFunction to just add the function to
the passmanager worklist. It does not need to notify the pass manager's logging
or analyses that a new function was added to the module since
SILOptFunctionBuilder now performs that operation. Given its reduced
functionality, I changed the name to addFunctionToPassManagerWorklist(...). The
name is a little long/verbose, but this is a feature since one should think
before getting the pass manager to rerun transforms on a function. Also, giving
it a longer name calls out the operation in the code visually, giving this
operation more prominance when reading code. NOTE: I did the rename using
Xcode's refactoring functionality!

I am going to add the code in a bit that does the notifications. I tried to pass
down the builder instead of the pass manager. I also tried not to change the
formatting.
rdar://42301529
This commit does not modify those APIs or their usage. It just:
1. Moves the APIs onto SILFunctionBuilder and makes SILFunctionBuilder a friend
of SILModule.
2. Hides the APIs on SILModule so all users need to use SILFunctionBuilder to
create/destroy functions.
I am doing this in order to allow for adding/removing function notifications to
be enforced via the type system in the SILOptimizer. In the process of finishing
off CallerAnalysis for FSO, I discovered that we were not doing this everywhere
we need to. After considering various other options such as:
1. Verifying after all passes that the notifications were sent correctly and
asserting. Turned out to be expensive.
2. Putting a callback in SILModule. This would add an unnecessary virtual call.
I realized that by using a builder we can:
1. Enforce that users of SILFunctionBuilder can only construct composed function
builders by making the composed function builder's friends of
SILFunctionBuilder (notice I did not use the word subclass, I am talking
about a pure composition).
2. Refactor a huge amount of code in SILOpt/SILGen that involve function
creation onto a SILGenFunctionBuilder/SILOptFunctionBuilder struct. Many of
the SILFunction creation code in question are straight up copies of each
other with small variations. A builder would be a great way to simplify that
code.
3. Reduce the size of SILModule.cpp by 25% from ~30k -> ~23k making the whole
file easier to read.
NOTE: In this commit, I do not hide the constructor of SILFunctionBuilder since
I have not created the derived builder structs yet. Once I have created those in
a subsequent commit, I will hide that constructor.

The new function with an optimized signature _shouldn't_ have a non-trivial
classSubclassScope, even if the original function did, since the original
function (that becomes the thunk) is the symbol that serves that role.
Also part of rdar://problem/40738913
The "subclass scope" is meant to represent a connection to a vtable (and how
public something needs to be), for things that end up in class
vtables. Specializations and thunks are mostly internal implementation details
and do not end up there, so subclass scope is not applicable to them. This stops
the thunks and specializations being incorrectly public.
(Note, there are some thunks that _are_ public facing: if a function has its
signature optimized, the original entry point becomes a thunk, and this entry
point is what ends up in vtables etc., so needs to remain around, which means
keeping the same hacks for `private` members of an `open` class.)
Fixes rdar://problem/40738913.
Signature optimization is slightly different to (most) other thunks, in that
it's taking an existing function and turning that into a thunk, rather than
creating a thunk that calls an existing function. These symbols can be public,
etc. and so need to be handled a bit different to other types of thunks.
