The Swift 4 Migrator is invoked through either the driver and frontend
with the -update-code flag.
The basic pipeline in the frontend is:
- Perform some list of syntactic fixes (there are currently none).
- Perform N rounds of sema fix-its on the primary input file, currently
set to 7 based on prior migrator seasons. Right now, this is just set
to take any fix-it suggested by the compiler.
- Emit a replacement map file, a JSON file describing replacements to a
file that Xcode knows how to understand.
Currently, the Migrator maintains a history of migration states along
the way for debugging purposes.
- Add -emit-remap frontend option
This will indicate the EmitRemap frontend action.
- Don't fork to a separte swift-update binary.
This is going to be a mode of the compiler, invoked by the same flags.
- Add -disable-migrator-fixits option
Useful for debugging, this skips the phase in the Migrator that
automatically applies fix-its suggested by the compiler.
- Add -emit-migrated-file-path option
This is used for testing/debugging scenarios. This takes the final
migration state's output text and writes it to the file specified
by this option.
- Add -dump-migration-states-dir
This dumps all of the migration states encountered during a migration
run for a file to the given directory. For example, the compiler
fix-it migration pass dumps the input file, the output file, and the
remap file between the two.
State output has the following naming convention:
${Index}-${MigrationPassName}-${What}.${extension}, such as:
1-FixitMigrationState-Input.swift

Add an option to the lexer to go back and get a list of "full"
tokens, which include their leading and trailing trivia, which
we can index into from SourceLocs in the current AST.
This starts the Syntax sublibrary, which will support structured
editing APIs. Some skeleton support and basic implementations are
in place for types and generics in the grammar. Yes, it's slightly
redundant with what we have right now. lib/AST conflates syntax
and semantics in the same place(s); this is a first step in changing
that to separate the two concepts for clarity and also to get closer
to incremental parsing and type-checking. The goal is to eventually
extract all of the syntactic information from lib/AST and change that
to be more of a semantic/symbolic model.
Stub out a Semantics manager. This ought to eventually be used as a hub
for encapsulating lazily computed semantic information for syntax nodes.
For the time being, it can serve as a temporary place for mapping from
Syntax nodes to semantically full lib/AST nodes.
This is still in a molten state - don't get too close, wear appropriate
proximity suits, etc.
