It was originally designed for faster trasmission of syntax trees from
C++ to SwiftSyntax, but superceded by the CLibParseActions. There's no
deserializer for it anymore, so let's just remove it.
SIL differentiability witnesses are a new top-level SIL construct mapping
"original" SIL functions to derivative SIL functions.
SIL differentiability witnesses have the following components:
- "Original" `SILFunction`.
- SIL linkage.
- Differentiability parameter indices (`IndexSubset`).
- Differentiability result indices (`IndexSubset`).
- Derivative `GenericSignature` representing differentiability generic
requirements (optional).
- JVP derivative `SILFunction` (optional).
- VJP derivative `SILFunction` (optional).
- "Is serialized?" bit.
This patch adds the `SILDifferentiabilityWitness` data structure, with
documentation, parsing, and printing.
Resolves TF-911.
Todos:
- TF-1136: upstream `SILDifferentiabilityWitness` serialization.
- TF-1137: upstream `SILDifferentiabilityWitness` verification.
- TF-1138: upstream `SILDifferentiabilityWitness` SILGen from
`@differentiable` and `@derivative` attributes.
- TF-20: robust mangling for `SILDifferentiabilityWitness` names.
This silences the instances of the warning from Visual Studio about not all
codepaths returning a value. This makes the output more readable and less
likely to lose useful warnings. NFC.
