This has the same semantics as open_existential_box, but returns an object value
instead of an address.
This is used in SIL opaque values mode. Attempting to reuse open_existential_box
in this mode causes SIL type inconsistencies that are too difficult to work
around. Adding this instruction allows for consistent handling of opaque values.
The original versions of several of these currently redundant instructions will
be removed once the SIL representation stabilizes.
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".
Often times one wants to create a load/store and you don't know if you have a
trivial type. These APIs allow you to use the correct semantic ownership
qualifier at the callsite without worrying: if you have a true trivial type, the
API will change the qualifier to trivial for you.
Looping over all users and returning the only user of a specific type is a
common pattern in the compiler. This method just allows for the loop to be
eliminated.
It makes it easier to track down this type of bug since the assert occurs in
SILBuilder right where the invalid ValueMetatype is created.
rdar://problem/31880847
I am going to use this to put an assertion in SILBuilder on ValueMetatype so
that the assertion fires right when the ValueMetatype is created instead of
later once we are verifying. It is still only being used in assertions/etc.

ground work for the syntactic bridging peephole.
- Pass source and dest formal types to the bridging routines in addition
to the dest lowered type. The dest lowered type is still necessary
in order to handle non-standard abstraction patterns for the dest type.
- Change bridging abstraction patterns to store bridged formal types
instead of the formal type.
- Improve how SIL type lowering deals with import-as-member patterns.
- Fix some AST bugs where inadequate information was being stored in
various expressions.
- Introduce the idea of a converting SGFContext and use it to regularize
the existing id-as-Any conversion peephole.
- Improve various places in SILGen to emit directly into contexts.
This semantic attribute allows a user to disable ownership verification on
specific functions.
The intention is that once I turn on the sil ownership verifier for parts of the
stdlib, if an engineer exposes an ownership issue, they can disable ownership
verification on that specific function, file a bug, and continue with their
work.

Use the KeyPath implementation's new support for instantiating and dealing with captures to lower the generic context required to dispatch computed accessors with dependent generics.
Rather than pretend that the requirement signature of a protocol is a
full, well-formed generic signature that one can meaningfully query,
treat it as a flat set of requirements. Nearly all clients already did
this, but make it official. NFC
- SILSerializeAll flag is now stored in the SILOptions and passed around as part of it
- Explicit SILSerializeAll/wholeModuleSerialized/makeModuleFragile API parameters are removed in many places
Placeholder global_addr instructions were never destroyed.
Now they are inserted in the entry basic block and later removed from there by the end of SIL deserialization.
This is a very easily misused API since it allows for users to leak instructions
if they are not careful. This commit removes this API and replaces the small
number of uses of this API with higher level APIs that accomplish the same task
without using removeFromParent(). There were no API users that specifically
required removeFromParent.
An example of one way we were using removeFromParent is to move a SILInstruction
to the front of a block. That does not require exposing an API like
removeFromParent()... we can just create a higher level API like the one added
in this commit: SILInstruction::moveFront(SILBasicBlock *).
