Previously it was part of swiftBasic.
The demangler library does not depend on llvm (except some header-only utilities like StringRef). Putting it into its own library makes sure that no llvm stuff will be linked into clients which use the demangler library.
This change also contains other refactoring, like moving demangler code into different files. This makes it easier to remove the old demangler from the runtime library when we switch to the new symbol mangling.
Also in this commit: remove some unused API functions from the demangler Context.
fixes rdar://problem/30503344
By returning `nil` instead of an empty dictionary in the common case where
no exception is encountered, we skip any dictionary-bridging work which
can become expensive if making assertions in a tight loop.
The general rule here is that something needs to be SWIFT_CC(swift)
if it's just declared in Swift code using _silgen_name, as opposed to
importing something via a header.
Of course, SWIFT_CC(swift) expands to nothing by default for now, and
I haven't made an effort yet to add the indirect-result / context
parameter ABI attributes. This is just a best-effort first pass.
I also took the opportunity to shift a few files to just implement
their shims header and to demote a few things to be private stdlib
interfaces.
The standard library has grown significantly, and we need a new
directory structure that clearly reflects the role of the APIs, and
allows future growth.
See stdlib/{public,internal,private}/README.txt for more information.
