We would miscompile in mixed-language-version projects when a Swift class was compiled for one language version, while using Objective-C-imported types that are only available to that version, and then imported into a Swift module with a different language version that wasn't able to see all of the properties because of incompatible imported types. This manifested in a number of ways:
- We assumed we could re-derive the constant field offsets of the class's ivars from the layout, which is wrong if properties are missing, causing accesses to final properties or subclass properties to go to the wrong offsets.
- We assumed we could re-derive the instance size and alignment of a class instance in total, causing code to allocate the wrong amount of memory.
- We neglected to account for the space that stored properties take up in the field offset vector of the class object, causing us to load vtable entries for following subclass methods from the wrong offsets.
Eventually, resilience should reduce our exposure to these kinds of problems. As an incremental step in the right direction, when we look at a class from another module in IRGen, treat it as always variably-sized, so we don't try to hardcode offsets, size, or alignment of its instances. When we import a class, and we're unable to import a stored property, leave behind a new kind of MissingMemberDecl that records the number of field offset vector slots it will take up, so that we lay out subclass objects and compute vtable offsets correctly. Fixes rdar://problem/35330067.
A side effect of this is that the RemoteAST library is no longer able to provide fixed field offsets for class ivars. This doesn't appear to impact the lldb test suite, and they will ultimately need to use more abstract access patterns to get ivar offsets from resilient classes (if they aren't already), so I just removed the RemoteAST test cases that tested for class field offsets for now.
swift-remoteast-test uses the JIT to execute code in its own process.
Even if we theoretically taught the interpreter to perform some sort
of remote interpretation, that would not be sufficient to make
swift-remoteast-test work. Therefore I've introduced a new lit
feature check specifically for swift-remoteast-test, but set it by
default to be equivalent to swift_interpreter.
- All parts of the compiler now use ‘P1 & P2’ syntax
- The demangler and AST printer wrap the composition in parens if it is
in a metatype lookup
- IRGen mangles compositions differently
- “protocol<>” is now “swift.Any”
- “protocol<_TP1P,_TP1Q>” is now “_TP1P&_TP1Q”
- Tests cases are updated and added to test the new syntax and mangling
This commit defines the ‘Any’ keyword, implements parsing for composing
types with an infix ‘&’, and provides a fixit to convert ‘protocol<>’
- Updated tests & stdlib for new composition syntax
- Provide errors when compositions used in inheritance.
Any is treated as a contextual keyword. The name ‘Any’
is used emit the empty composition type. We have to
stop user declaring top level types spelled ‘Any’ too.
properties of classes with generic layouts.
Previously we were falling back on accessing them via the field
offset vector even when we knew everything about the type.
As a minor benefit, this allows RemoteAST to also determine offsets
for members of classes with generic layout.
Half of the test changes are IR type-name uniquing; I'm going to
explore mangling these with the full type where possible.
The metadata system doesn't actually unique based on labels
correctly, so the test case has to play some games. That's
something that will be easier to fix when there are fewer
clients poking at the internals of the metadata runtime.
just the address. Use this to avoid repeatedly reading metadata so
often (even if it's cached, this is better). Fix some bugs involving
nominal type parents.
