Witness table accessors return a witness table for a given type's
conformance to a protocol. They are called directly from IRGen
(when we need the witness table instance) and from runtime conformance
checking (swift_conformsToProtocol digs the access function out of the
protocol conformance record). They have two interesting functions:
1) For witness tables requiring instantiation, they call
swift_instantiateWitnessTable directly.
2) For synthesized witness tables that might not be unique, they call
swift_getForeignWitnessTable.
Extend swift_instantiateWitnessTable() to handle both runtime
uniquing (for #2) as well as handling witness tables that don't have
a "generic table", i.e., don't need any actual instantiation. Use it
as the universal entry point for "get a witness table given a specific
conformance descriptor and type", eliminating witness table accessors
entirely.
Make a few related simplifications:
* Drop the "pattern" from the generic witness table. Instead, store
the pattern in the main part of the conformance descriptor, always.
* Drop the "conformance kind" from the protocol conformance
descriptor, since it was only there to distinguish between witness
table (pattern) vs. witness table accessor.
* Internalize swift_getForeignWitnessTable(); IRGen no longer needs to
call it.
Reduces the code size of the standard library (+assertions build) by
~149k.

Extending the mangling of symbolic references to also include indirect
symbolic references. This allows mangled names to refer to context
descriptors (both type and protocol) not in the current source file.
For now, only permit indirect symbolic references within the current module,
because remote mirrors (among other things) is unable to handle relocations.

Collapse the generic witness table, which was used only as a uniquing
data structure during witness table instantiation, into the protocol
conformance record. This colocates all of the constant protocol conformance
metadata and makes it possible for us to recover the generic witness table
from the conformance descriptor (including looking at the pattern itself).
Rename swift_getGenericWitnessTable() to swift_instantiateWitnessTable()
to make it clearer what its purpose is, and take the conformance descriptor
directly.
Indicate whether a particular associated type witness is a default (whose
mangled name is relative to the protocol) vs. being supplied as part of the
conformance (whose mangled name is relative to the conforming type). The
use of pointer identity to distinguish these cases can fail due to the
coalescing of these linker symbols.
The mangling of associated type paths was only adding the names of
associated types, and not their enclosing protocols. This led to mangling
collisions that could lead to corrupted metadata. In the standard
library, for example, the generic requirements for the
Unicode _ParsingIterator in the standard library ended up encoding an
access to Sequence.Element rather than IteratorProtocol.Element due
to the mangling conflict.

Default associated conformance accessors will be used in default
witness tables to fill in associated conformances for defaulted
associated types. Add (de|re|)mangling support for them and make them
linking entities in IRGen.
When an associated type witness has a default, record that as part of
the protocol and emit a default associated type metadata accessor into the
default witness table. This allows a defaulted associated type to be
added to a protocol resiliently.
This is another part of rdar://problem/44167982, but it’s still very
limiting because the new associated type cannot have any conformances.
Introduce an alias that refers one element prior to the start of a
protocol descriptor’s protocol requirements. This can be subtracted from
an associated type descriptor address to determine the offset of the
associated type accessor within a corresponding witness table. The code
generation for the latter is not yet implemented.
This patch adds SIL-level debug info support for variables whose
static type is rewritten by an optimizer transformation. When a
function is (generic-)specialized or inlined, the static types of
inlined variables my change as they are remapped into the generic
environment of the inlined call site. With this patch all inlined
SILDebugScopes that point to functions with a generic signature are
recursively rewritten to point to clones of the original function with
new unique mangled names. The new mangled names consist of the old
mangled names plus the new substituions, similar (or exactly,
respectively) to how generic specialization is handled.
On libSwiftCore.dylib (x86_64), this yields a 17% increase in unique
source vars and a ~24% increase in variables with a debug location.

The central thrust of this patch is to get these metadata initializations
off of `swift_once` and onto the metadata-request system where we can
properly detect and resolve dependencies. We do this by first introducing
runtime support for resolving metadata requests for "in-place"
initializations (committed previously) and then teaching IRGen to actually
generate code to use them (this patch).
A non-trivial amount of this patch is just renaming and refactoring some of
existing infrastructure that was being used for in-place initializations to
try to avoid unnecessary confusion.
The remaining cases that are still using `swift_once` resolution of
metadata initialization are:
- non-generic classes that can't statically fill their superclass or
have resilient internal layout
- foreign type metadata
Classes require more work because I'd like to switch at least the
resilient-superclass case over to using a pattern much more like what
we do with generic class instantiation. That is, I'd like in-place
initialization to be reserved for classes that actually don't need
relocation.
Foreign metadata should also be updated to the request/dependency scheme
before we declare ABI stability. I'm not sure why foreign metadata
would ever require a type to be resolved, but let's assume it's possible.
Fixes part of SR-7876.
Rather than storing a mangled name in a Swift protocol descriptor,
which encodes information that is redundant with the context of the
protocol, store an unmangled name as in nominal type descriptors. Update
the various places where this name is used to extract the demangle
tree from the context descriptors.
Reimplement protocol descriptors for Swift protocols as a kind of
context descriptor, dropping the Objective-C protocol compatibility
layout. The new protocol descriptors have several advantages over the
current implementation:
* They drop all of the unused fields required for layout-compatibility
with Objective-C protocols.
* They encode the full requirement signature of the protocol. This
maintains more information about the protocol itself, including
(e.g.) correctly encoding superclass requirements.
* They fit within the general scheme of context descriptors, rather than
being their own thing, which allows us to share more code with
nominal type descriptors.
* They only use relative pointers, so they’re smaller and can be placed
in read-only memory
Implements rdar://problem/38815359.
For now, the accessors have been underscored as `_read` and `_modify`.
I'll prepare an evolution proposal for this feature which should allow
us to remove the underscores or, y'know, rename them to `purple` and
`lettuce`.
`_read` accessors do not make any effort yet to avoid copying the
value being yielded. I'll work on it in follow-up patches.
Opaque accesses to properties and subscripts defined with `_modify`
accessors will use an inefficient `materializeForSet` pattern that
materializes the value to a temporary instead of accessing it in-place.
That will be fixed by migrating to `modify` over `materializeForSet`,
which is next up after the `read` optimizations.
SIL ownership verification doesn't pass yet for the test cases here
because of a general fault in SILGen where borrows can outlive their
borrowed value due to being cleaned up on the general cleanup stack
when the borrowed value is cleaned up on the formal-access stack.
Michael, Andy, and I discussed various ways to fix this, but it seems
clear to me that it's not in any way specific to coroutine accesses.

Protocol name mangling didn’t always go through a path that allowed the use
of standard substitutions. Enable standard substitutions for protocol name
manglings where they make sense.
Removes ~277k from the standard library binary size.
Since the mangling scheme and set of standard library types is effectively
fixed now, introduce known mangling substitutions for a number of new
standard library types, filling out the S[A-Za-z] space.
Reduces standard library binary size by ~195k.
The allocation phase is guaranteed to succeed and just puts enough
of the structure together to make things work.
The completion phase does any component metadata lookups that are
necessary (for the superclass, fields, etc.) and performs layout;
it can fail and require restart.
Next up is to support this in the runtime; then we can start the
process of making metadata accessors actually allow incomplete
metadata to be fetched.
This is yet another waypoint on the path towards the final
generic-metadata design. The immediate goal is to make the
pattern a private implementation detail and to give the runtime
more visibility into the allocation and caching of generic types.
The key path pattern needs to include a reference to the external descriptor, along with hooks for lowering its type arguments and indices, if any. The runtime will need to instantiate and interpolate the external component when the key path object is instantiated.
While we're here, let's also reserve some more component header bytes for future expansion, since this is an ABI we're going to be living with for a while.
