- Previously we didn't know how to bridge address-only types. Add some
plumbing for this. Not fully general yet, but with a bit more work we
could allow resilient value types to adopt _ObjectiveCBridgable, too.
For now, this is just intended to support the id-as-Any work.
- Specifically when going from a type without any other known bridging
strategy, emit a call to the new `_bridgeAnythingToObjectiveC` entry
point from the previous commit.
The general rule here is that something needs to be SWIFT_CC(swift)
if it's just declared in Swift code using _silgen_name, as opposed to
importing something via a header.
Of course, SWIFT_CC(swift) expands to nothing by default for now, and
I haven't made an effort yet to add the indirect-result / context
parameter ABI attributes. This is just a best-effort first pass.
I also took the opportunity to shift a few files to just implement
their shims header and to demote a few things to be private stdlib
interfaces.
Implements SE-0055: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0055-optional-unsafe-pointers.md
- Add NULL as an extra inhabitant of Builtin.RawPointer (currently
hardcoded to 0 rather than being target-dependent).
- Import non-object pointers as Optional/IUO when nullable/null_unspecified
(like everything else).
- Change the type checker's *-to-pointer conversions to handle a layer of
optional.
- Use 'AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer<NSError?>?' as the type of error
parameters exported to Objective-C.
- Drop NilLiteralConvertible conformance for all pointer types.
- Update the standard library and then all the tests.
I've decided to leave this commit only updating existing tests; any new
tests will come in the following commits. (That may mean some additional
implementation work to follow.)
The other major piece that's missing here is migration. I'm hoping we get
a lot of that with Swift 1.1's work for optional object references, but
I still need to investigate.
This is a staging attribute that will eventually mean "fixed-contents"
for structs and "closed" for enums, as described in
docs/LibraryEvolution.rst.
This is pretty much the minimal set of types that must be fixed-layout,
because SILGen makes assumptions about their lowering.
If desired, some SILGen refactoring can allow some of these to be
resilient. For example, bridging value types could be made to work
with resilient types.
This lets us eliminate the _getObjectiveCType() value witness, which
was working around the lack of proper type witness metadata in witness
tables. Boilerplate -= 1.
This reverts commit 052d2d0a69.
The only actual issue with the original change was a missing change to
the UIApplicationMain SILGen test, which needs to build SILGen
overlays to execute properly; -enable-source-import doesn't suffice.
Introduce a new entrypoint to _ObjectiveCBridgeable,
_unconditionallyBridgeFromObjectiveC, which handles unconditional
bridging from an optional Objective-C object (e.g., an NSString) to
its bridged Swift type. Use it in SILGen to perform NSString -> String
bridging rather than the custom entry point.
Another small step toward generalized bridging.
The preferred way to create a nil pointer is to use the 'nil' literal.
Affected types:
AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer
OpaquePointer
UnsafeMutablePointer
UnsafePointer
