This replaces the '[volatile]' flag. Now, class_method and
super_method are only used for vtable dispatch.
The witness_method instruction is still overloaded for use
with both ObjC protocol requirements and Swift protocol
requirements; the next step is to make it only mean the
latter, also using objc_method for ObjC protocol calls.
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.
These instructions have the same semantics as the *ExistentialAddr instructions
but operate directly on the existential value, not its address.
This is in preparation for adding ExistentialBoxValue instructions.
The previous name would cause impossible confusion with "opaque existentials"
and "opaque existential boxes".
Replace `NameOfType foo = dyn_cast<NameOfType>(bar)` with DRY version `auto foo = dyn_cast<NameOfType>(bar)`.
The DRY auto version is by far the dominant form already used in the repo, so this PR merely brings the exceptional cases (redundant repetition form) in line with the dominant form (auto form).
See the [C++ Core Guidelines](https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md#es11-use-auto-to-avoid-redundant-repetition-of-type-names) for a general discussion on why to use `auto` to avoid redundant repetition of type names.
We were giving special handling to ApplyInst when we were attempting to use
getMemoryBehavior(). This commit changes the special handling to work on all
full apply sites instead of just AI. Additionally, we look through partial
applies and thin to thick functions.
I also added a dumper called BasicInstructionPropertyDumper that just dumps the
results of SILInstruction::get{Memory,Releasing}Behavior() for all instructions
in order to verify this behavior.
There's a buggy SIL verifier check that was previously tautological,
and it turns out that it's violated, apparently harmlessly. Since it
was already doing nothing, I've commented it out temporarily while
I figure out the right way to fix SILGen to get the invariant right.
Remove the include of SILInstruction.h in a couple places since it is
not necessary and forces more recompilation than necessary when edits
are made to SILInstruction.h.

We need a SIL level unsafe cast that supports arbitrary usage of
UnsafePointer, generalizes Builtin.reinterpretCast, and has the same
semantics on generic vs. nongeneric code. In other words, we need to
be able to promote the cast of an address type to the cast of an
object type without changing semantics, and that cast needs to support
types that are not layout identical.
This patch introduces an unchecked_bitwise_cast instruction for that
purpose. It is different from unsafe_addr_cast, which has been our
fall-back "unknown" cast in the past. With unchecked_bitwise_cast we
cannot assume layout or RC identity. The cast implies a store and
reload of the value to obtain the low order bytes. I know that
bit_cast is just an abbreviation for bitwise_cast, but we use
"bitcast" throught to imply copying a same sized value. No one could
come up with a better name for copying an objects low bytes via:
@addr = alloca $wideTy
store @addr, $wideTy
load @addr, $narrowTy
Followup patches will optimize unchecked_bitwise_cast into more
semantically useful unchecked casts when enough type information is
present. This way, the optimizer will rarely need to be taught about
the bitwise case.

For better consistency with other address-only instruction variants, and to open the door to new exciting existential representations (such as a refcounted boxed representation for ErrorType).

We want to be able to work around problems with non-failable
Objective-C initializers actually failing, which can happen when the
API audit data incorrectly marks an initializer as non-failable.

This should eliminate pointless operations that get added to our inline
cost itinerary.

The attached patch is a port of LLVM's PatternMatch infrastructure for SIL.
LLVM's pattern matching infrastructure is how much of InstCombine is implemented
and the brevity of its pattern matching should be a boon to SILCombine's
implementation as well.
Many basic matchers have been implemented, but of course many more *could* be
implemented (i.e. this is a work in progress).
