* SR-106: New floating-point `description` implementation
This replaces the current implementation of `description` and
`debugDescription` for the standard floating-point types with a new
formatting routine based on a variation of Florian Loitsch' Grisu2
algorithm with changes suggested by Andrysco, Jhala, and Lerner's 2016
paper describing Errol3.
Unlike the earlier code based on `sprintf` with a fixed number of
digits, this version always chooses the optimal number of digits. As
such, we can now use the exact same output for both `description` and
`debugDescription` (except of course that `debugDescription` provides
full detail for NaNs).
The implementation has been extensively commented; people familiar with
Grisu-style algorithms should find the code easy to understand.
This implementation is:
* Fast. It uses only fixed-width integer arithmetic and has constant
memory and time requirements.
* Simple. It is only a little more complex than Loitsch' original
implementation of Grisu2. The digit decomposition logic for double is
less than 300 lines of standard C (half of which is common arithmetic
support routines).
* Always Accurate. Converting the decimal form back to binary (using an
accurate algorithm such as Clinger's) will always yield exactly the
original binary value. For the IEEE 754 formats, the round-trip will
produce exactly the same bit pattern in memory. This is an essential
requirement for JSON serialization, debugging, and logging.
* Always Short. This always selects an accurate result with the minimum
number of decimal digits. (So that `1.0 / 10.0` will always print
`0.1`.)
* Always Close. Among all accurate, short results, this always chooses
the result that is closest to the exact floating-point value. (In case
of an exact tie, it rounds the last digit even.)
This resolves SR-106 and related issues that have complained
about the floating-point `description` properties being inexact.
* Remove duplicate infinity handling
* Use defined(__SIZEOF_INT128__) to detect uint128_t support
* Separate `extracting` the integer part from `clearing` the integer part
The previous code was unnecessarily obfuscated by the attempt to combine
these two operations.
* Use `UINT32_MAX` to mask off 32 bits of a larger integer
* Correct the expected NaN results for 32-bit i386
* Make the C++ exceptions here consistent
Adding a C source file somehow exposed an issue in an unrelated C++ file.
Thanks to Joe Groff for the fix.
* Rename SwiftDtoa to ".cpp"
Having a C file in stdlib/public/runtime causes strange
build failures on Linux in unrelated C++ files.
As a workaround, rename SwiftDtoa.c to .cpp to see
if that avoids the problems.
* Revert "Make the C++ exceptions here consistent"
This reverts commit 6cd5c20566.
I was going to put this off for awhile, but it turns out that a lot of
my testcases are enums with multi-payload cases, which we currently
compile as tuples, so they were all still hanging until this patch.
There are multiple reasons to do this. Primarily this is
useful as an optimization. Whenever analysis can determine that no
potentially conflicting access occurs within the scope, the access can
be demoted to "nontracking". It is also useful as an escape hatch for
future code deploying to older runtimes. For example, if a future access
scope may cross threads, and the older runtime doesn't know how to
migrate threads.
See <rdar://problem/37507434> add a flag to swift_beginAccess to inform
the runtime that an access might migrate between threads
I de-templated MetadataState and MetadataRequest because we weren't
relying on the template and because using the template was causing
conversion problems due to the inability to directly template an enum
in C++.
Rename it to swift_initClassMetadata() just like we recently did
swift_initStructMetadata(), and add a StructLayoutFlags parameter
so we can version calls to this function in the future.
Maybe at some point this will become a separate ClassLayoutFlags
type, but at this point it doesn't matter because IRGen always
passes a value of 0.
This includes global generic and non-generic global access
functions, protocol associated type access functions,
swift_getGenericMetadata, and generic type completion functions.
The main part of this change is that the functions now need to take
a MetadataRequest and return a MetadataResponse, which is capable
of expressing that the request can fail. The state of the returned
metadata is reported as an second, independent return value; this
allows the caller to easily check the possibility of failure without
having to mask it out from the returned metadata pointer, as well
as allowing it to be easily ignored.
Also, change metadata access functions to use swiftcc to ensure that
this return value is indeed returned in two separate registers.
Also, change protocol associated conformance access functions to use
swiftcc. This isn't really related, but for some reason it snuck in.
Since it's clearly the right thing to do, and since I really didn't
want to retroactively tease that back out from all the rest of the
test changes, I've left it in.
Also, change generic metadata access functions to either pass all
the generic arguments directly or pass them all indirectly. I don't
know how we ended up with the hybrid approach. I needed to change all
the code-generation and calls here anyway in order to pass the request
parameter, and I figured I might as well change the ABI to something
sensible.
I was trying to make the entry-delegation thing do *way* too much.
Just give the entry access to the lock/queue and introduce subclasses
which simplify most of the work.
Also, fix some bad reasoning around the attempts to avoid acquiring
locks in the absence of waiters. It really is always necessary to
acquire the lock when notifying; waiters cannot atomically set the
has-waiters flag and wait, so we have to protect against the
possibility that we notify before they can wait.
