This makes resolving mangled names to nominal types in the same module more efficient, and for eventual secrecy improvements, also allows types in the same module to be referenced from mangled typerefs without encoding any source-level name information about them.
The remote reflection library has a fantastic utility class, TypeDecoder,
to take a mangled type and form an abstract type from it. Move this facility
into the Demangling library so other clients can use it.
ELF is segment mapped, where the segment which contains a particular
section may be mapped to an address which does not correspond to the
address on disk. Since the reflection dumper does not use the loader to
load the image into memory, we must manually account for any section
offsets. Calculate this value when we query the mmap'ed image and wire
it through to the relative direct pointer accesses.
When switching to the linker table approach for the ELF metadata
introspection, this was uncovered as the segment containing the orphaned
sections was coalesced into a separate PT_LOAD header which had a non-0
offset for the mapping.
Restructure the ELF handling to be completely agnostic to the OS.
Rather than usng the loader to query the section information, use the
linker to construct linker tables and synthetic markers for the
beginning and of the table. Save off the values of these pointers and
pass them along through the constructor to the runtime for registration.
This removes the need for the begin/end objects. Remove the special
construction of the begin/end objects through the special assembly
constructs, preferring to do this in C with a bit of inline assembly to
ensure that the section is always allocated.
Remove the special handling for the various targets, the empty object
file can be linked on all the targets.
The new object file has no requirements on the ordering. It needs to
simply be injected into the link.
Name the replacement file `swiftrt.o` mirroring `crt.o` from libc. Merge
the constructor and the definition into a single object file.
This approach is generally more portable, overall simpler to implement,
and more robust.
Thanks to Orlando Bassotto for help analyzing some of the odd behaviours
when switching over.
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
This makes the demangler about 10 times faster.
It also changes the lifetimes of nodes. Previously nodes were reference-counted.
Now the returned demangle node-tree is owned by the Demangler class and it’s lifetime ends with the lifetime of the Demangler.
Therefore the old (and already deprecated) global functions demangleSymbolAsNode and demangleTypeAsNode are no longer available.
Another change is that the demangling for reflection now only supports the new mangling (which should be no problem because
we are generating only new mangled names for reflection).
Remote metadata for closure contexts points to a capture descriptor.
We have a local copy of all capture descriptors. Translate the
address by recording the local and remote start address of
reflection metadata.
- Improper handling of read() returning an incomplete read
- Update SwiftReflectionTest library for new builtin types section
Only tested manually so far; automated tests coming soon.
Now that we can parse and substitute typerefs, and look up field
types, we finally have enough infrastructure in place to do some
basic layout of struct and tuple types from within the Reflection
library.
To facilitate testing, swift-reflection-dump now accepts multiple
-binary-filename flags, allowing types defined in the standard
library to be looked up.
More detailed end-to-end tests will come once I finish the
typeref-to-metadata builder.
Since swift-reflection-dump does not have a remote address space,
it doesn't need a full ReflectionContext. Now that TypeRefBuilder
has been refactored, we can use that instead.
In order to perform layout, the remote mirrors library needs to know
about the size, alignment and extra inhabitants of builtin types.
Ideally we would emit a reflection info section in libswiftRuntime.o,
but in the meantime just duplicate builtin type metadata for all
builtin types referenced from the current module instead.
In practice only the stdlib and a handful of overlays like the SIMD
overlay use builtin types, and only a few at a time.
Tested manually by running swift-reflection-tool on the standard
library -- I'll add automated tests by using -parse-stdlib to
reference Builtin types in a subsequent patch that adds more layout
logic.
NFC if -enable-reflection-metadata is off.
MachOUniversalBinary::getObjectForArch() returns a value containing
a unique_ptr; if we just fish out the unique_ptr value using get(),
it will be freed too soon.
Instead, hold on to the unique_ptr until we are done with everything.
swift-reflection-test is now the test that forks a swift executable
and performs remote reflection, making it runnable on other targets,
such as the iOS simulator.
swift-reflection-dump is now a host-side tool that dumps the remote
reflection sections for any platform binary and will continue to
link in LLVM object file support.
This necessitates finally moving lib/Refleciton into stdlib/public,
since we're linking target-specific versions of the test tool and
we would eventually like to adopt some of this functionality in
the runtime anyway.
