layouts. Introduce new SIL instructions to initialize
and open existential metatype values.
Don't actually, y'know, lift any of the restriction on
existential metatypes; just pointlessly burn extra
memory storing them.
Swift SVN r22592
We want to be able to work around problems with non-failable
Objective-C initializers actually failing, which can happen when the
API audit data incorrectly marks an initializer as non-failable.
Swift SVN r21711
These instructions do a bitcast operation without stack traffic (at the SIL level). unchecked_trivial_bit_cast represents a conversion from a potentially nontrivial type to a trivial type, such as from a class reference to Int. unchecked_ref_bit_cast represents a conversion between types for which retain_value and release_value has equivalent effects when applied on the input or output values.
Swift SVN r19053
instructions. Make them subclasses of RefCountingInst.
This is a useful superclass that enables one to quickly perform queries
on whether or not a specific instruction is an instruction that
manipulates reference counts.
Swift SVN r18891
Add objc_metatype_to_object and objc_existential_metatype_to_object to convert metatypes to AnyObject, and objc_protocol to get a reference to an @objc protocol descriptor as a Protocol class instance.
Swift SVN r18824
put the result in a different place.
WIP: no IRGen support yet.
This will eventually be the required form when casting
to an address-only type; the existing instructions will
have only scalar outputs.
Swift SVN r18780
An unsafe cast from a base to a derived class isn't really all that different from one from Builtin.NativeObject to an arbitrary class, so relax this pair of instructions to allow an arbitrary bitcast. This only combines the instructions; it doesn't attempt to simplify any codegen that was emitting round-trip casts before yet.
Swift SVN r16736
This allows the payload for a loadable enum to be unsafely projected without branching, enabling more enum optimizations when switch branches can be culled or when indirect enum code can be promoted.
Swift SVN r16729
This was part of the original weak design that
there was never any particular reason to rush the
implementation for. It's convenient to do this now
so that we can use it to implement Unmanaged<T> for
importing CF types.
Swift SVN r16693
Give us a way to formally represent autoreleases in SIL separate from autoreleased returns, allowing us to lifetime-extend inner pointer parameters the lazy way and hopefully clean up some asmname hacks in the stdlib implementation too.
Swift SVN r16632
Add project_block_storage, to project the capture storage from within a block_storage, and init_block_storage_header, to represent filling out the block header.
Swift SVN r16358
When we see CConstPointer or CMutablePointer in a foreign function signature, transparently bridge it to UnsafePointer at the foreign entry point, lifetime-extending the C*Pointer value during foreign calls so that its owner reference is held for the duration of the call.
Swift SVN r15602
This will be a signal to ARC optimization, RVO, and other lifetime-affecting optimizations that they should not shorten the lifetime of a value past a certain point. We need this for C pointer bridging. This adds the instruction, but does not add any knowledge of it to the ARC optimizers.
Swift SVN r15601
alloc_ref_dynamic allocates an instance of a class type based on the
value in its metatype operand. Start emitting these instructions for
the allocating constructor of a complete object initializer (not yet
tested) and for the allocating constructor synthesized for an imported
Objective-C init method.
Still missing:
- IRGen still does the same thing as alloc_ref right now. That
change will follow.
- There are devirtualization opportunities when we know the value of
the metatype that would turn an alloc_ref_dynamic into an alloc_ref;
I'm not planning to do this optimization.
Swift SVN r14560
It's not forming the metatype for the protocol type (exists t: P. t).metatype, it's forming the existential of a metatype of a conforming type, exists t: P. (t.metatype).
Swift SVN r14520
Having one instruction to get the dynamic metatype of a (non-existential) value makes more sense from a generic specialization standpoint and should stave off inevitable crashers when archetype_metatypes get specialized. protocol_metatype remains separate because metatype existentials are more interesting.
Swift SVN r14499
We were wantonly applying 'upcast' to archetypes in some cases, and really, that's OK, since these instructions do the same thing (and generic specialization could turn archetype_ref_to_super into upcast). Make everyone's life easier by folding archetype_to_super into upcast. Fixes <rdar://problem/16192324>.
Swift SVN r14496
Introduce the SIL instructions thick_to_objc_metatype and
objc_to_thick_metatype to convert between the 'thick' and
'Objective-C' representations of a metatype. Most of this code is
trivial support code for these conversions: printing, parsing,
(de-)serialization, etc., for which testing will come online in
subsequent patches or is incidental in other tests.
Lower Objective-C metatype values down to objc_class* at the IR level
and implement IRGen support for these SIL instructions. SIL-only test
case at the moment because SILGen never creates these instructions.
Swift SVN r14087
Riding off of project_existential[_ref] was convenient, but the
resuls are used quite differently. Note that open_existential[_ref]
still don't print/parse reasonably yet.
Swift SVN r13878
We need to model the difference between Objective-C- and Swift-rooted
class hierarchies in SIL. IRGen is too late to handle nil returns.
This reverts commit 549db981ea0136a67aee3029aefe18a05d3c8833.
Swift SVN r12400
No functional difference from the unconditional checked downcast we
had before, but this gives IRGen the chance to specialize the
implementation.
