The approach here is to split this into two cases:
- If all case payloads have a fixed size, spare bits may be
potentially used to differentiate between cases, and the
remote reflection library does not have enough information to
compute the layout itself.
However, the total size must be fixed, so IRGen just emits a
builtin type descriptor (which I need to rename to 'fixed type
descriptor' since these are also used for imported value types,
and now, certain enums).
- If at least one case has a size that depends on a generic
parameter or is a resilient type, IRGen does not know the size,
but this means fancy tricks with spare bits cannot be used either.
The remote reflection library uses the same approach as the
runtime, basically taking the maximum of the payload size and
alignment, and adding a tag byte.
As with single-payload enums, we produce a new kind of
RecordTypeInfo, this time with a field for every enum case.
All cases start at offset zero (but of course this might change,
if for example we put the enum tag before the address point).
Also, just as with single-payload enums, there is no remote
'project case index' operation on ReflectionContext yet.
So the the main benefit from this change is that we don't entirely
give up when doing layout of class instances containing enums;
however, tools still cannot look inside the enum values themselves,
except in the simplest cases involving optionals.
Notably, the remote reflection library finally understands all
of the standard library's collection types -- Array, Character,
Dictionary, Set, and String.
Attempt to lay out single-payload enums, using knowledge of extra
inhabitants where possible.
- The extra inhabitants of an aggregate are the extra inhabitants of
the first field. If the first field is empty, there are no extra
inhabitants, and subsequent fields do not affect anything.
- Function pointers and metatypes have different extra inhabitants
than Builtin.RawPointer, so have IRGen emit distinct builtin type
descriptors for those.
- Opaque existentials do not have extra inhabitants.
- Weak references do not have extra inhabitants.
Also, fix IRGen to emit more accurate enum reflection metadata in
these two cases:
- We now record whether enum cases are indirect or not. An indirect
case is the same as a payload case with Builtin.NativeObject.
- We now record whether a case is empty or not using the same logic
as the rest of IRGen. Previously, we would incorrectly emit a
payload type for a case with a payload that is an empty struct,
for example.
At this point we don't have a way to get the currently inhabited
enum case from a value. However, this is still an improvement because
we can still reflect other fields of aggregates containing enums,
instead of just giving up.
Finally make some methods on TypeCoverter private, and use 'friend'
to allow them to be accessed from other internal classes, making the
public API simpler.
