introduce a common superclass, SILNode.
This is in preparation for allowing instructions to have multiple
results. It is also a somewhat more elegant representation for
instructions that have zero results. Instructions that are known
to have exactly one result inherit from a class, SingleValueInstruction,
that subclasses both ValueBase and SILInstruction. Some care must be
taken when working with SILNode pointers and testing for equality;
please see the comment on SILNode for more information.
A number of SIL passes needed to be updated in order to handle this
new distinction between SIL values and SIL instructions.
Note that the SIL parser is now stricter about not trying to assign
a result value from an instruction (like 'return' or 'strong_retain')
that does not produce any.
This commit adds a hook that allows passes, analysis or data structures that can
be registered as receivers of delete notifications to decide if they want to
receive notifications All of the analysis and the currently executing passes are
automatically registered to receive notifications and this hook is useful in
reducing the runtime overhead. With this change the only analysis that accepts
notifications is alias analysis.
This commit adds the basic support for delete notification handlers. The SIL
Module is notified every time an instruction is deleted. The module will forward
notification messages to users who ask to be notified. The motivation for this
work is described in the upcoming commit to OptimizerDesign.md.
