Add an isASCII fast-path for many UTF16View operations. These are
heavily utilized in random-access scenarios, allowing us to both be
more efficient and skip generating breadcrumbs for ASCII strings.
• Convert _AbstractStringStorage to a protocol, and the free functions used to deduplicate implementations to extensions on that protocol.
• Move 'start' into the abstract type and use that to simplify some code
• Move the ASCII fast path for length into UTF16View.
• Add a weirder but faster way to check which (if any) of our NSString subclasses a given object is, and adopt it
Add a use an unchecked subscript on UnsafeBufferPointer, which skips
debugPrecondition checks (in case we're not inlined) as well as a
force-unwrap check.
Rather than rely on the UTF16View, scan between breadcrumbs by hand
for a decent 20% speedup. This code will also make it more obvious how
to slot in a vectorized solution later.
After rebasing on master and incorporating more 32-bit support,
perform a bunch of cleanup, documentation updates, comments, move code
back to String declaration, etc.
Refactor and rename _StringGutsSlice, apply NFC-aware fast paths to a
new buffered iterator.
Also, fix bug in _typeName which used to assume ASCIIness and better
SIL optimizations on StringObject.
Add inlinability annotations to restore performance parity with 4.2 String.
Take advantage of known NFC as a fast-path for comparison, and
overhaul comparison dispatch.
RRC improvements and optmizations.
* Refactor out RRC implementation into dedicated file.
* Change our `_invariantCheck` pattern to generate efficient code in
asserts builds and make the optimizer job's easier.
* Drop a few Bidi shims we no longer need.
* Restore View decls to String, workaround no longer needed
* Cleaner unicode helper facilities
This is a giant squashing of a lot of individual changes prototyping a
switch of String in Swift 5 to be natively encoded as UTF-8. It
includes what's necessary for a functional prototype, dropping some
history, but still leaves plenty of history available for future
commits.
My apologies to anyone trying to do code archeology between this
commit and the one prior. This was the lesser of evils.
_StringGuts shouldn't expose a subscript, implying efficient
access. Switch to the explicit code unit fetch method. Update tests
accordingly, and switch off of deprecated typealiases.
