The "not native" bit in a BridgeObject is important, because it tells
us when we need to go through the Objective-C -retain method
vs. swift_retain. Losing the bit means that swift_retain() will stomp
on some memory within an Objective-C object, thinking its the inline
reference count.
Co-debugged with Arnold, who then found where this bit was getting dropped.
Fixes rdar://problem/39629937.
Previously we could only handle symbolic references at the
top level, but this is insufficient; for example, you can
have a nested type X.Y where X is defined in the current
translation unit and Y is defined in an extension of X in
a different translation unit. In this case, X.Y mangles as
a tree where the child contains a symbolic reference to X.
Handle this by adding a new form of Demangle::mangleNode()
which takes a callback for resolving symbolic references.
Fixes <rdar://problem/39613190>.
The demangling tree for a symbolic reference doesn't indicate the generic context depth of the referenced type, so we have to form the type metadata from whole cloth without incrementally building up nested types as we do for concrete mangled types. Notice when DecodedMetadataBuilder is passed a context descriptor ref without a parent and directly form the entire type in this case. Fixes rdar://problem/38891999.
This new format more efficiently represents existing information, while
more accurately encoding important information about nested generic
contexts with same-type and layout constraints that need to be evaluated
at runtime. It's also designed with an eye to forward- and
backward-compatible expansion for ABI stability with future Swift
versions.
The goal here is to make the short demangling as short and readable as possible, also at the cost of omitting some information.
The assumption is that whenever the short demangling is displayed, there is a way for the user to also get the full demangled name if needed.
*) omit <where ...> because it does not give useful information anyway
Deserializer.deserialize<A where ...> () throws -> [A]
--> Deserializer.deserialize<A> () throws -> [A]
*) for multiple specialized functions only emit a single “specialized”
specialized specialized Constructible.create(A.Element) -> Constructible<A>
--> specialized Constructible.create(A.Element) -> Constructible<A>
*) Don’t print function argument types:
foo(Int, Double, named: Int)
--> foo(_:_:named:)
This is a trade-off, because it can lead to ambiguity if there are overloads with different types.
*) make contexts of closures, local functions, etc. more readable by using “<a> in <b>” syntax
This is also done for the full and not only for the simplified demangling.
Renderer.(renderInlines([Inline]) -> String).(closure #1)
--> closure #1 in Renderer.renderInlines
*) change spacing, so that it matches our coding style:
foo <A> (x : A)
--> foo<A>(x: A)
