Contributors likely won't need to invoke CMake directly in order to run the test suite. As such, the current testing documentation is a little misleading: it jumps into a detailed explanation of the `check-swift` family of targets, even though those are abstracted away via the build script. For example, I remember when I first read this document, I spent 20 minutes searching in vain for a build executable named `check-swift`.
Instead, change the wording to make it clear that `utils/build-script` is the best way to run the tests. For those interested in **how** the tests are executed, show an example of a CMake command that runs them.
This was mistakenly reverted in an attempt to fix buildbots.
Unfortunately it's now smashed into one commit.

Introduce @_specialize(<type list>) internal attribute.
This attribute can be attached to generic functions. The attribute's
arguments must be a list of concrete types to be substituted in the
function's generic signature. Any number of specializations may be
associated with a generic function.
This attribute provides a hint to the compiler. At -O, the compiler
will generate the specified specializations and emit calls to the
specialized code in the original generic function guarded by type
checks.
The current attribute is designed to be an internal tool for
performance experimentation. It does not affect the language or
API. This work may be extended in the future to add user-visible
attributes that do provide API guarantees and/or direct dispatch to
specialized code.
This attribute works on any generic function: a freestanding function
with generic type parameters, a nongeneric method declared in a
generic class, a generic method in a nongeneric class or a generic
method in a generic class. A function's generic signature is a
concatenation of the generic context and the function's own generic
type parameters.
e.g.
struct S<T> {
var x: T
@_specialize(Int, Float)
mutating func exchangeSecond<U>(u: U, _ t: T) -> (U, T) {
x = t
return (u, x)
}
}
// Substitutes: <T, U> with <Int, Float> producing:
// S<Int>::exchangeSecond<Float>(u: Float, t: Int) -> (Float, Int)

[SILOptimizer] Introduce an eager-specializer pass.
This pass finds generic functions with @_specialized attributes and
generates specialized code for the attribute's concrete types. It
inserts type checks and guarded dispatch at the beginning of the
generic function for each specialization. Since we don't currently
expose this attribute as API and don't specialize vtables and witness
tables yet, the only way to reach the specialized code is by calling
the generic function which performs the guarded dispatch.
In the future, we can build on this work in several ways:
- cross module dispatch directly to specialized code
- dynamic dispatch directly to specialized code
- automated specialization based on less specific hints
- partial specialization
- and so on...
I reorganized and refactored the optimizer's generic utilities to
support direct function specialization as opposed to apply
specialization.
Temporarily reverting @_specialize because stdlib unit tests are
failing on an internal branch during deserialization.
This reverts commit e2c43cfe14, reversing
changes made to 9078011f93.
This change follows up on an idea from Michael (thanks!).
It enables debugging and profiling on SIL level, which is useful for compiler debugging.
There is a new frontend option -gsil which lets the compiler write a SIL file and generated debug info for it.
For details see docs/DebuggingTheCompiler.rst and the comments in SILDebugInfoGenerator.cpp.

It's to be used by code produced by the ReleaseDevirtualizer.
As the function is only used for non-escaping objects, the deallocating bit is set non-atomically.
Replace the project global linting rule excludes (as defined in .pep8) with
fine-grained "# noqa" annotations.
By using noqa annotation the excludes are made on a per line basis instead of
globally.
These annotations are used where we make deliberate deviations from the standard
linting rules.
To lint the Python code in the project:
$ flake8
To install flake8:
$ pip install flake8
See https://flake8.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ for details.
To enable checking of the PEP-8 naming conventions, install the optional
extension pep8-naming:
$ pip install pep8-naming
To enable checking of blind "except:" statements, install the optional
extension flake8-blind-except:
$ pip install flake8-blind-except
To enable checking of import statement order, install the optional
extension flake8-import-order:
$ pip install flake8-import-order

Original commit message:
Serialize debug scope and location info in the SIL assembler language.
At the moment it is only possible to test the effects that SIL
optimization passes have on debug information by observing the
effects of a full .swift -> LLVM IR compilation. This change enable us
to write targeted testcases for single SIL optimization passes.
The new syntax is as follows:
sil-scope-ref ::= 'scope' [0-9]+
sil-scope ::= 'sil_scope' [0-9]+ '{'
sil-loc
'parent' scope-parent
('inlined_at' sil-scope-ref )?
'}'
scope-parent ::= sil-function-name ':' sil-type
scope-parent ::= sil-scope-ref
sil-loc ::= 'loc' string-literal ':' [0-9]+ ':' [0-9]+
Each instruction may have a debug location and a SIL scope reference
at the end. Debug locations consist of a filename, a line number, and
a column number. If the debug location is omitted, it defaults to the
location in the SIL source file. SIL scopes describe the position
inside the lexical scope structure that the Swift expression a SIL
instruction was generated from had originally. SIL scopes also hold
inlining information.
