...but don't hook it up to anything yet.
This is the very very start of the module stability / textual
interfaces feature described at
https://forums.swift.org/t/plan-for-module-stability/14551/
For now I've just made it a frontend option (not a driver option),
which is good enough for testing.
Introduces the -name-bind frontend action that is intended as an intermediary between the parse-only actions and a full typechecking pass. In this phase, module imports will be validated and resolved, making it possible to emit full make-style dependencies files among other things.
Note that all information available to a parse-only pass is available to name binding, but because it does not continue-on to typecheck input files, full semantic information is not.
This flag is based on Clang's -fdebug-prefix-map, which lets the user remap absolute paths in debug info. This is necessary for reproducible builds and allows debugging to work on a different machine than the one that built the code when paths to the source may be different.
This was retained to help ease migration between versions of the 4.2 compiler
between when the flag was originally introduced and the full fix landed. It's
not longer needed and there's no reason to retain it in the full release.
Fixes rdar://problem/40502379.
Introduce a command-line option to visualize the complete set of output
request dependencies evaluated by a particular compile action. This is
exposing existing visualization facilities to the (-frontend) command line.
We sometimes see expression type checking times increase dramatically
when this is enabled, and having a way to disable will make it
possible to easily do measurements to determine the cost/benefit of
having this enabled.
As a debugging aid, introduce a new frontend flag `-debug-cycles` that
will emit a debug dump whenever the request-evaluator encounters a cyclic
dependency, while otherwise allowing compilation to continue.
This work-around is no longer needed now that the full fix landed in
https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/16615. The argument is left with a warning
to help with migration between compilers with the work-around and compilers with
the full fix (see also rdar://problem/40502379).
Fixes rdar://problem/40476573.
IRGen can introduce calls to type metadata accessors for types that
should not be visible to the current translate, which can manifest in
linker errors within a module (for references to private types when
whole module optimization is disabled) or across modules (for
references to private/internal types in another module). Introduce a
new compiler flag `-emit-public-type-metadata-accessors` that emits
all type metadata accessors with public linkage, to work around the
problem in affected projects. This flag is intended to go away once we
have a proper solution.
This bug has been around in Swift "forever", but compiling the
overlays using -enable-resilience has exacerbated the problem and
caused regressions. This is a short-term fix to
rdar://problem/40229755 while we work on the correct long-term fix.
When running Swift from within LLDB, we need to bypass resilience since LLDB
does not support resilience yet. However, the bypass was done too early as
part of the module loader, which had the effect of disabling resilience
altogether.
We still want resilience at the SIL level so that function types lower the
same with debugger support turned on and off. Only IRGen needs to bypass
resilience, so that LLDB can calculate fragile layouts of types. Also, the
DebuggerSupport flag is not always set in the ASTContexts created by LLDB.
So replace it with a new flag that only controls this behavior and nothing
else, and make it part of IRGenOptions to make it totally clear that it only
impacts IRGen.
Together with the paired LLDB change, fixes <rdar://problem/38719739>
and <rdar://problem/38483762>.
When the supplementary-outputs file is written for an -index-file invocation it writes out the first input file
given in arguments instead of the input file that is provided by -index-file-path option. This then causes the frontend
index invocation to fail with an error because there is a mismatch in the primary input file and the input file that is written
in the supplementary-outputs file.
When generating a compiler invocation in driver::createCompilerInvocation()
we end up using filelists if the number of inputs is > 128 (to work around
command line arg limits). We never actually write them out though, and so
fail when parsing the frontend arguments that reference them.
As this function is called frequently by SourceKit and command line limits
aren't a concern here, this patch makes the 128 threshold value configurable
via a new -driver-filelist-threshold option. This is set to its maximum value
in driver::createCompilerInvocation() to ensure filelists aren't used. This
new option makes the existing -driver-use-filelists (that forces filelists to
be used) redundant as it's now equivalent to -driver-filelist-threshold=0.
Resolves rdar://problem/38231888
It was only used in a few tests. Those tests now use -emit-sil instead
of -emit-silgen, with some functions marked @_transparent and a few
CHECK: lines changed now that the mandatory optimizations get to run.
The initial version of the debugger testing transform instruments
assignments in a way that allows the debugger to sanity-check its
expression evaluator.
Given an assignment expression of the form:
```
a = b
```
The transform rewrites the relevant bits of the AST to look like this:
```
{ () -> () in
a = b
checkExpect("a", stringForPrintObject(a))
}()
```
The purpose of the rewrite is to make it easier to exercise the
debugger's expression evaluator in new contexts. This can be automated
by having the debugger set a breakpoint on checkExpect, running `expr
$Varname`, and comparing the result to the expected value generated by
the runtime.
While the initial version of this testing transform only supports
instrumenting assignments, it should be simple to teach it to do more
interesting rewrites.
There's a driver script available in SWIFT_BIN_DIR/lldb-check-expect to
simplfiy the process of launching and testing instrumented programs.

This way we'll link against the key path component the other module provides instead of making fragile assumptions about its current implementation. Since external keypath lowering isn't fully implemented elsewhere in the compiler, this is enabled behind a staging flag.
