As of now:
* old APIs are just marked as `deprecated` not `unavaiable`. To make it
easier to co-operate with other toolchain repos.
* Value variant of API is implemented as public @private
`_ofInstance(_:)`.
Update for SE-0107: UnsafeRawPointer
This adds a "mutating" initialize to UnsafePointer to make
Immutable -> Mutable conversions explicit.
These are quick fixes to stdlib, overlays, and test cases that are necessary
in order to remove arbitrary UnsafePointer conversions.
Many cases can be expressed better up by reworking the surrounding
code, but we first need a working starting point.
As proposed by SE-0107: UnsafeRawPointer:
https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0107-unsaferawpointer.md#cstring-conversion
Adds String.init(cString: UnsafePointer<UInt8>)
Adds String.nulTerminatedUTF8CString: ContiguousArray<CChar>
This is necessary for eliminating UnsafePointer conversion. Such
conversion is extremely common for interoperability between Swift
strings and C strings to bridge the difference between CChar and
UTF8.CodeUnit. The standard library does not provide any convenient
utilities for converting between the differently typed
buffers. These APIs will handle the simplest cases involving C
interoperability. More convenience can be added later.
We were using a precondition which crashes the program when invalid input is
provided. We want to provide a way to gracefully check and handle invalid input
or shutdown the program if necessary.
SR-1930
In various cases where we had global operators for non-generic
concrete types (such as String + String), move those operators into
the type. This should not affect the sources, but makes the exposition
of the library cleaner.
Plus, it's a good test for the compiler, which uncovered a few issues
where the compiler was coupled with the library.
Added tests for expected-error and fix-its.
- Add arguments signature regardless that is the same as before.
Because the error message looks more natural.
e.g. "makeIterator" => "makeIterator()",
"replaceSubrange" => "replaceSubrange(_:with:)"
- Any${ExistentialCollection}.underestimateCount() was a method, not
computed property.
- 'LazySequenceType' has been renamed to 'LazySequenceProtocol', but not
'LazyCollectionProtocol'
- Streamable.writeTo(_:) had no argument label.
- Fixed typo in print() debugPrint() error message (not working for now)
- Repeated.init(): changed `renamed` to `message` because the arugment
order has changed.
- Marked `public` for some unavailable method on `Sequence`
- Sequence.split(_:maxSplit:allowEmptySlices) was replaced with
split(separator:maxSplits:omittingEmptySubsequences:),
not split(separator:omittingEmptySubsequences:isSeparator:)
- Sequence.split(_:allowEmptySlices:isSeparator) was replaced with
split(maxSplits:omittingEmptySubsequences:isSeparator:),
not split(_:omittingEmptySubsequences:isSeparator:)
- Sequence.startsWith(_:isEquivalent:) or startsWith(_:) had no label on
the first argument.
- transcode(_:_:_:_:stopOnError), not transcode(_:_:_:_:stoppingOnError)
- Removed mutating methods from UnsafePointer.

[stdlib] Fix the `String.decodeCString` for UTF16 and UTF32
Resolves [SR-1578](https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-1578]
Essentially the problem was that `strlen` is not the right way of
obtaining a length of anything but null-terminated UTF-8 sequence of
characters. Other encodings require alternative mechanisms.
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.
