When we process a constraint, the first step is generally to call
getFixedTypeRecursive() to look through type variables. When this
operation actually does non-trivial work, we could save
that result by considering the current constraint "solved" and
generating a new constraint (if needed!) with the simplified types.
This commit adds the infrastructure to do that, because it's important
when getFixedTypeRecursive() starts performing more interesting
substitutions (e.g., handling member types of type
variables). However, enabling for the common case of looking through a
type variable isn't profitable (it's ~2% slower to type-check the
standard library). Stage in this infrastructure change now.
Implements part of SE-0110. Single argument in closures will not be accepted if
there exists explicit type with a number of arguments that's not 1.
```swift
let f: (Int, Int) -> Void = { x in } // this is now an error
```
Note there's a second part of SE-0110 which could be considered additive,
which says one must add an extra pair of parens to specify a single arugment
type that is a tuple:
```swift
let g ((Int, Int)) -> Void = { y in } // y should have type (Int, Int)
```
This patch does not implement that part.
- Any is made into a keyword which is always resolved into a TypeExpr,
allowing the removal of the type system code to find TheAnyType before
an unconstrained lookup.
- Types called `Any` can be declared, they are looked up as any other
identifier is
- Renaming/redefining behaviour of source loc methods on
ProtocolCompositionTypeRepr. Added a createEmptyComposition static
method too.
- Code highlighting treats Any as a type
- simplifyTypeExpr also does not rely on source to get operator name.
- Any is now handled properly in canParseType() which was causing
generic param lists containing ‘Any’ to fail
- The import objc id as Any work has been relying on getting a decl for
the Any type. I fix up the clang importer to use Context.TheAnyType
(instead of getAnyDecl()->getDeclaredType()). When importing the id
typedef, we create a typealias to Any and declare it unavaliable.
change includes both the necessary protocol updates and the deprecation
warnings
suitable for migration. A future patch will remove the renamings and
make this
a hard error.
This documentation revision covers a large number of types & protocols:
String, its views and their indices, the Unicode codec types and protocol,
as well as Character, UnicodeScalar, and StaticString, among others.
This also includes a few small changes across the standard library for
consistency.
This revises and expands on documentation for the new collection methods
for working with indices and the revised Swift 3 set APIs. In addition,
it includes documentation for the new range types.
The defaults we were generating for Collection and
BidirectionalCollection didn't make any sense, because if you could do
that strideable arithmetic then you essentially had random access.
Instead we constrain the defaults to apply to RandomAccessCollection
where the Indices are a CountableRange.
