Add primitive type-checker rules for pointer arguments. An UnsafePointer argument accepts:
- an UnsafePointer value of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is UnsafePointer<Void>,
- an inout parameter of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is UnsafePointer<Void>, or
- an inout Array parameter of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is UnsafePointer<Void>.
A ConstUnsafePointer argument accepts:
- an UnsafePointer, ConstUnsafePointer, or AutoreleasingUnsafePointer value of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is ConstUnsafePointer<Void>,
- an inout parameter of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is ConstUnsafePointer<Void>, or
- an inout or non-inout Array parameter of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is ConstUnsafePointer<Void>.
An AutoreleasingUnsafePointer argument accepts:
- an AutoreleasingUnsafePointer value of matching element type, or
- an inout parameter of matching element type.
This disrupts some error messages in unrelated tests, which is tracked by <rdar://problem/17380520>.

This makes categories of NSString, NSArray, and NSDictionary available
on String, Array, and Dictionary. Note that we only consider
categories not present in the Objective-C Foundation module, because
we want to manually map those APIs ourselves. Hence, no changes to the
NSStringAPI. Implements <rdar://problem/13653329>.
Swift SVN r18920
Semantically, these expressions handle the same thing: an upcast of a
collection when the underlying element types of the source are
subtypes of or can be bridged to subtypes of the destination. This
reduces some branching in the type checker and eliminates duplication
in SILGen.
Swift SVN r18865
Allow class metatypes (including class-constrained existential metatypes) to be treated as subtypes of AnyObject, and single-@objc protocol metatypes to be treated as subtypes of the Protocol class from objc. No codegen support yet, so this is hidden behind a frontend flag for now.
Swift SVN r18810
We removed this feature when we changed casting syntax, but left it in
the type checker to help migrate code via a Fix-It. We no longer need
it.
Swift SVN r18729
Introduce a new locator kind for argument/parameter comparisons that
tracks both the argument and the parameter, which we will eventually
use in diagnostics more regularly. For now, this helps us smooth over
scalar-to-tuple/tuple-to-tuple/tuple-to-scalar nonsense when dealing
with calls.
Fix a pile of fallout from this change.
Swift SVN r17648
Implement a completely new path for matching up an argument tuple to a
parameter tuple, which handles the specific rules we want for
calls. The rules are:
- The keyword arguments at the call site must match those of the
declaration; one cannot omit a keyword argument if the declaration
requires it, nor can one provide a keyword argument if the
declaration doesn't have one.
- Arguments must be passed in order, except that arguments for
parameters with defaults can be re-ordered among themselves (we
can't test all of this because neither constraint application nor
the AST can express these).
QoI is extremely important in this area, and this change improves the
situation considerably. We now provide good diagnostics for several
important cases, with Fix-Its to clean up the code:
- Missing keyword arguments:
t.swift:8:13: error: missing argument labels 'x:y:' in call
allkeywords1(1, 2)
^
x: y:
- Extraneous keyword arguments:
t.swift:17:12: error: extraneous argument labels 'x:y:' in call
nokeywords1(x: 1, y: 1)
^~~~ ~~~
- General confusion over keyword arguments (some missing, some
wrong, etc.):
t.swift:26:14: error: incorrect argument labels in call (have
'x:_:z:', expected '_:y:z:')
somekeywords1(x: 1, 2, z: 3)
^~~~
y:
There are still a few areas where the keyword-argument-related
diagnostics are awful, which correspond to FIXMEs in this
implementation:
- Duplicated arguments: f(x: 1, x: 2)
- Extraneous arguments: f(x: 1, y: 2, z: 3) where f takes only 2
parameters
- Missing arguments
- Arguments that are out-of-order
- Proper matching of arguments to parameters for diagnostics that
complain about type errors.
And, of course, since this has only been lightly tested, there are
undoubtedly other issues lurking.
This new checking is somewhat disjoint from what constraint
application can handle, so we can type-check some things that will
then fail catastrophically at constraint application time. That work
is still to come, as is the AST work to actually represent everything
we intend to allow.
This is part of <rdar://problem/14462349>.
Swift SVN r17341
Another baby step toward <rdar://problem/14462349>, made even more
tepid by the fact that I've quarantined this behind a new flag,
-strict-keyword-arguments. Enforcing this breaks a lot of code, so I'd
like to bring up the new model on the side (with good diagnostics that
include Fix-Its) before trolling through the entire standard library
and testsuite to fix violations of these new rules.
Swift SVN r17143
This is the simplest case to test the infrastructure for
adding/removing/fixing keyword arguments at the call site that don't
line up with the keyword arguments in a declaration. Baby steps toward
<rdar://problem/14462349>.
Swift SVN r17136
Fixes <rdar://problem/15042686>, i.e.,
t.swift:3:7: error: call to non-function of type 'Int'; did you mean
to leave off the '()'?
i = i()

Swift SVN r16950
Example:
test/Constraints/fixes.swift:54:9: error: value of optional type 'B?'
not unwrapped; did you mean to use '!' or '?'?
b = a as B

Swift SVN r16938
Introduce some infrastructure that allows us to speculatively apply
localized fixes to expressions during constraint solving to fix minor
typos and omissions. At present, we're able to introduce the fixes
during constraint simplification, prefer systems with fewer fixes when
there are multiple fixes, and diagnose the fixes with Fix-Its.
Actually rewriting the AST to reflect what the Fix-Its are doing is
still not handled.
As a start, introduce a fix that adds '()' if it appears to have been
forgotton, producing a diagnostic like this if it works out:
t.swift:8:3: error: function produces expected type 'B'; did you mean
to call it with '()'?
f(g)
^
()
Note that we did regress in one test case
(test/NameBinding/multi-file.swift), because that diagnostic was
getting lucky with the previous formulation.
Swift SVN r16937
Language features like erasing concrete metatype
values are also left for the future. Still, baby steps.
The singleton ordinary metatype for existential types
is still potentially useful; we allow it to be written
as P.Protocol.
I've been somewhat cavalier in making code accept
AnyMetatypeType instead of a more specific type, and
it's likely that a number of these places can and
should be more restrictive.
When T is an existential type, parse T.Type as an
ExistentialMetatypeType instead of a MetatypeType.
An existential metatype is the formal type
\exists t:P . (t.Type)
whereas the ordinary metatype is the formal type
(\exists t:P . t).Type
which is singleton. Our inability to express that
difference was leading to an ever-increasing cascade
of hacks where information is shadily passed behind
the scenes in order to make various operations with
static members of protocols work correctly.
This patch takes the first step towards fixing that
by splitting out existential metatypes and giving
them a pointer representation. Eventually, we will
need them to be able to carry protocol witness tables
Swift SVN r15716
Originally, I didn't want this because I felt it made
unchecked-optional too non-local --- it wasn't always
obvious that an assignment might crash because it was
implicitly dropping optionality. And that's still a
concern! But I think that overall, if we're prepared
to accept that that danger is inherent in @unchecked T?,
this is a more consistent model: @unchecked T? means
that we don't know enough about the value to say for
certain that nil is a real possibility, so we'll let
you coerce it to the underlying type, and that coercion
just might not be dynamically safe. No more special
cases for calls and member access (to the user; of
course, to the implementation these are still special cases
because of lookup and overload resolution).
Swift SVN r14796
Resolve selector references using compound name lookup, pushing DeclNames a bit deeper through the type-checker and diagnostics as necessary.
Swift SVN r14791
its basic logic in libAST, which both makes it easier to
implement and makes it possible to use in the places that
should care about it, i.e. in IR-gen and SIL-gen.
Per Doug, none of the places that were introducing
trivial-subtype constraints really needed to do so rather
than just using subtype constraints.
Swift SVN r12679
- Switch all the 'self' mutable arguments to take self as @inout, since
binding methods to uncurried functions expose them as such.
- Eliminate the subtype relationship between @inout and @inout(implicit),
which means that we eliminate all sorts of weird cases where they get
dropped (see the updated testcases).
- Eliminate the logic in adjustLValueForReference that walks through functions
converting @inout to @inout(implicit) in strange cases.
- Introduce a new set of type checker constraints and conversion kinds to properly
handle assignment operators: when rebound or curried, their input/result argument
is exposed as @inout and requires an explicit &. When applied directly (e.g.
as ++i), they get an implicit AddressOfExpr to bind the mutated lvalue as an
@inout argument.
Overall, the short term effect of this is to fix a few old bugs handling lvalues.
The long term effect is to drive a larger wedge between implicit and explicit
lvalues.
Swift SVN r11708
Using "T" as the contextual type, either for an implicit conversion
(in the coercion case) or as a downcast (for the checked-cast case),
opens up more type-inference opportunities. Most importantly, it
allows coercions such as "1 as UInt32" (important for
<rdar://problem/15283100>). Additionally, it allows one to omit
generic arguments within the type we're casting to.
Some additional cleanup to follow.
Swift SVN r10799
Similar to the T -> U? conversion, allow T? to be converted to U? through a bind-convert-inject chain. Naively adding this conversion creates ambiguities in the type checker, opening up multiple paths to the same solution in certain cases, so add a a special case to the solver that avoids introducing the conversion if a solution is already available by other means. (Doug figured out that part; thanks Doug!)
This still introduces a regression in test/Constraints/optional.swift, rendering a call ambiguous when overloaded on argument types. <rdar://problem/15367036>
Swift SVN r9857
The "conversion" constraint was far too loose, because we don't want
to permit arbitrary conversions on the left-hand side of the
'.'. Conformance constraints aren't correct either, because an
existential that does not conform to itself can still be used on the
left-hand side of a '.', so we introduce a new kind of constraint for
this.
Swift SVN r9630
The constraint solver was eagerly applying the T -> U? conversion
rule, which only succeeds when T is convertible to U. Thus, we would
reject valid code where T has a user-defined conversion to
U?. Instead, introduce a disjunction conversion to try either T -> U?
by converting T to U or via a user-defined conversion.
Most of this is infrastructure for the introduction of constraint
restrictions, which specify that a particular constraint (say, a
conversion constraint) should only try a single direct path:
scalar-to-tuple, value-to-optional, user-defined, etc. Each term in the
disjunction created for the T -> U? case is restricted to a particular
conversion rule, so that checking it does not create another
disjunction.
Keep track of the constraint restrictions we used within a given
solution, so that we can replay those steps during the application
phase. There is a bunch of inactive code here at the moment, which
will become useful as we start creating disjunctions for other
ambiguous conversions.
Swift SVN r9318
Overload bindings constraints bind a given type to a specific overload
choice. This is a step toward moving overload sets into normal
disjunction constraints.
Part of the work here is to eliminate the constraint system's
dependence on OverloadSet, which will be going away in favor of a
disjunction constraint.
