Use a new mangling scheme that describes the layout of compound boxes. For compatibility with reflection-based clients, continue to use the legacy mangling for single-field boxes when emitting reflection TypeRefs until we fully support reflection for the new box implementation.
It is technically assigned into dynamically in the loop below, but given
code-refactoring, this invariant could easily be broken yielding a use of an
uninitialized pointer. Better to just initialize and assert.
The purpose of this change is to test if the new mangling is equivalent to the old mangling.
Both mangling strings are created, de-mangled and checked if the de-mangle trees are equivalent.
There's no longer a single element type to speak of. Update uses to either iterate all box fields or to assert that they're working with a single-field box.
Following classes provide symbol mangling for specific purposes:
*) Mangler: the base mangler class, just providing some basic utilities
*) ASTMangler: for mangling AST declarations
*) SpecializationMangler: to be used in the optimizer for mangling specialized function names
*) IRGenMangler: mangling all kind of symbols in IRGen
All those classes are not used yet, so it’s basically a NFC.
Another change is that some demangler node types are added (either because they were missing or the new demangler needs them).
Those new nodes also need to be handled in the old demangler, but this should also be a NFC as those nodes are not created by the old demangler.
My plan is to keep the old and new mangling implementation in parallel for some time. After that we can remove the old mangler.
Currently the new implementation is scoped in the NewMangling namespace. This namespace should be renamed after the old mangler is removed.
A pointless use of polymorphism -- the result values are not
interchangeable in any practical sense:
- For GenericTypeParamDecls, this returned getDeclaredInterfaceType(),
which is an interface type.
- For AssociatedTypeDecls, this returned the sugared AssociatedTypeType,
which desugars to an archetype.
- For TypeAliasDecls, this returned TypeAliasDecl::getAliasType(),
which desugars to a type containing archetypes.
- For NominalTypeDecls, this returned NominalTypeDecl::getDeclaredType(),
which is the unbound generic type, a special case used for inferring
generic arguments when they're not written in source.
There is no need to keep SILModules around after IRGen has generated LLVM IR from them.
This reduces the compiler memory usage during LLVM code-generation and optimization phases roughly by 15%-20%.
Rather than directly using the ArchetypeBuilder associated with a
canonical generic signature, use a canonical GenericEnvironment
associated with that canonical generic signature. This has a few
benefits:
* It's cleaner to not have IRGen working with archetype builders;
GenericEnvironment is the right abstraction for mapping between
dependent types and archetypes for a specific context.
* It helps us separate the archetype builder from a *specific*
set of archetypes. This is an ongoing refactor that is intended to
allow us to re-use archetype builders across different generic
environments.
As part of this, ArchetypeBuilder::substDependentType() has gone away
in favor of GenericEnvironment::mapTypeIntoContext().
The uses of this function that want *all* nested types now go through
an entry point getAllNestedTypes(), and will need to be removed to
support recursive protocol constraints.
The uses of this function that only want to see what's been expanded
so far---dumpers and verifiers, mainly---can use
getKnownNestedTypes(), which may change type but is a reasonable
operation to continue using.
This was already done for getSuccessorBlocks() to distinguish getting successor
blocks from getting the full list of SILSuccessors via getSuccessors(). This
commit just makes all of the successor/predecessor code follow that naming
convention.
Some examples:
getSingleSuccessor() => getSingleSuccessorBlock().
isSuccessor() => isSuccessorBlock().
getPreds() => getPredecessorBlocks().
Really, IMO, we should consider renaming SILSuccessor to a more verbose name so
that it is clear that it is more of an internal detail of SILBasicBlock's
implementation rather than something that one should consider as apart of one's
mental model of the IR when one really wants to be thinking about predecessor
and successor blocks. But that is not what this commit is trying to change, it
is just trying to eliminate a bit of technical debt by making the naming
conventions here consistent.
Before this commit all code relating to handling arguments in SILBasicBlock had
somewhere in the name BB. This is redundant given that the class's name is
already SILBasicBlock. This commit drops those names.
Some examples:
getBBArg() => getArgument()
BBArgList => ArgumentList
bbarg_begin() => args_begin()
This attribute is used in the simd overlay. To ensure we can layout
SIMD types correctly, emit a fixed type descriptor instead of a
field type descriptor for these types.
