This required quite a bit of infrastructure for emitting this kind of
tuple expression, although I'm not going to claim they really work yet;
in particular, I know the RValue constructor is going to try to explode
them, which it really shouldn't.
It also doesn't include the caller side of returns, for which I'll need
to teach ResultPlan to do the new abstraction-pattern walk. But that's
next.
- SILPackType carries whether the elements are stored directly
in the pack, which we're not currently using in the lowering,
but it's probably something we'll want in the final ABI.
Having this also makes it clear that we're doing the right
thing with substitution and element lowering. I also toyed
with making this a scalar type, which made it necessary in
various places, although eventually I pulled back to the
design where we always use packs as addresses.
- Pack boundaries are a core ABI concept, so the lowering has
to wrap parameter pack expansions up as packs. There are huge
unimplemented holes here where the abstraction pattern will
need to tell us how many elements to gather into the pack,
but a naive approach is good enough to get things off the
ground.
- Pack conventions are related to the existing parameter and
result conventions, but they're different on enough grounds
that they deserve to be separated.
When branching to the exit block, flatten an @out tuple return value
into its components, as is done for all other return values.
In the exit block, when constructing the @out tuple to return, visit the
tuple-type-tree of the return value to reconstruct the nested tuple
structure: @out tuple returns are not flattened, unlike regular tuple
returns.
Sometimes one just has a SILFunctionConvention instead of the underlying
SILFunctionType (that the SILFunctionConvention contains). This just shims in
that API onto the composition type.
This became necessary after recent function type changes that keep
substituted generic function types abstract even after substitution to
correctly handle automatic opaque result type substitution.
Instead of performing the opaque result type substitution as part of
substituting the generic args the underlying type will now be reified as
part of looking at the parameter/return types which happens as part of
the function convention apis.

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.
This pass now canonicalizes results before lowering and handles all combinations
of direct and indirect multiple return values. The logic is much less ad-hoc and
more robust.
try_apply still isn't handled, but should be much easier now.
Add visitLoadInst, visitStoreInst, visitDebugValueInst, etc.
