- <rdar://problem/16306600> QoI: passing a 'let' value as an inout results in an unfriendly diagnostic
- <rdar://problem/16927246> provide a fixit to change "let" to "var" if needing to mutate a variable
We now refer to an inout argument as such, e.g.:
t.swift:7:9: error: cannot pass 'let' value 'a' as inout argument
swap(&a, &b)
^
we also produce a note with a fixit to rewrite let->var in trivial cases where mutation is
being assed for, e.g.:
t.swift:3:3: note: change 'let' to 'var' to make it mutable
let a = 42
^~~
var
The note is produced by both Sema and DI.

We now produce diagnostics like:
- cannot pass 'let' value 'a' to mutating unary operator '++'
- cannot pass get-only property 'b' to mutating unary operator '++'
- cannot pass immutable value of type 'Int64' to mutating unary operator '++'

Add syntax "[#Color(...)#]" for object literals, to be used by
Playgrounds for inline color wells etc. The arguments are forwarded to
the relevant constructor (although we will probably change this soon,
since (colorLiteralRed:... blue:... green:... alpha) is kind of
verbose). Add _ColorLiteralConvertible and _ImageLiteralConvertible
protocols, and link them to the new expressions in the type checker.
CSApply replaces the object literal expressions with a call to the
appropriate protocol witness.
Swift SVN r27479
A non-throwing function can be a trivial subtype of a throwing
function. Encode this rule more directly, introduce some additional
tests to ensure that we get the behavior right where we need exact
matches, and add a failure kind with custom diagnostic for cases where
function types mismatch due to 'throws'.

This unblocks standard library work by preventing us from going exponential when extending existing struct types to have failable initializers. (rdar://problem/20336356)
On my laptop, it also results in a 7% end-to-end improvement in the time it takes to run our unit tests under DebugAssert (previously: 591.63s, now: 552.64s). Though, as usual, YMMV.
Swift SVN r27156
Previously some parts of the compiler referred to them as "fields",
and most referred to them as "elements". Use the more generic 'elements'
nomenclature because that's what we refer to other things in the compiler
(e.g. the elements of a bracestmt).
At the same time, make the API better by providing "getElement" consistently
and using it, instead of getElements()[i].

Don't emit multiple diagnostics for the same destination type -
this makes diagnostics less noisy where there are multiple overloads
with the same type.
Also, move the check for multiple overloads into
diagnoseFailureForCallExpr.
Swift SVN r24993
When threading a @noescape, @noreturn, or @autoclosure parameter through
to a function that doesn't expect one of those attributes, multiple
overload matches may cause the diagnostic to be dropped on the floor,
causing a crash in AST verification. If there is more than one failure
recorded for these attribute mismatches, don't fall back to the
contextual type diagnostics.
Fixes crash: rdar://problem/19704523
Swift SVN r24974
When generating constraints for an 'as' expression, consider the
possibility that the code is supposed to be 'as!' instead of 'as'. Emit
the appropriate fixit if that branch of the disjunction is chosen by the
constraint solver.
This is a more comprehensive fix for <rdar://problem/19499340> than the
one in r24815.

- Situations where the type of a return statement's result expression doesn't line up with the function's type annotation.
- Situations where the type of an initializer expression doesn't line up with its declaration's type pattern.
- Situations where we assume a conversion to a built-in protocol must take place, such as in if-statement conditionals.
(Addresses rdar://problem/19224776, rdar://problem/19422107, rdar://problem/19422156, rdar://problem/19547806 and lots of other dupes.)

- Closures that are comprised of only a single return statement are now considered to be "single expression" closures. (rdar://problem/17550847)
- Unannotated single expression closures with non-void return types can now be used in void contexts. (rdar://problem/17228969)
- Situations where a multi-statement closure's type could not be inferred because of the lack of a return-type annotation are now properly diagnosed. (rdar://problem/17212107)
I also encountered a number of crashers along the way, which should now be fixed.
Swift SVN r24817
Fix diagnostics for 'as' and 'as!' expressions by ensuring that the
conversion constraint used to generate them actually corresponds to the
expression in question. Add tests from 19495142.
Swift SVN r24547
Previously the "as" keyword could either represent coercion or or forced
downcasting. This change separates the two notions. "as" now only means
type conversion, while the new "as!" operator is used to perform forced
downcasting. If a program uses "as" where "as!" is called for, we emit a
diagnostic and fixit.
Internally, this change removes the UnresolvedCheckedCastExpr class, in
favor of directly instantiating CoerceExpr when parsing the "as"
operator, and ForcedCheckedCastExpr when parsing the "as!" operator.
Swift SVN r24253
These changes make the following improvements to how we generate diagnostics for expression typecheck failure:
- Customizing a diagnostic for a specific expression kind is as easy as adding a new method to the FailureDiagnosis class,
and does not require intimate knowledge of the constraint solver’s inner workings.
- As part of this patch, I’ve introduced specialized diagnostics for call, binop, unop, subscript, assignment and inout
expressions, but we can go pretty far with this.
- This also opens up the possibility to customize diagnostics not just for the expression kind, but for the specific types
involved as well.
- For the purpose of presenting accurate type info, partially-specialized subexpressions are individually re-typechecked
free of any contextual types. This allows us to:
- Properly surface subexpression errors.
- Almost completely avoid any type variables in our diagnostics. In cases where they could not be eliminated, we now
substitute in "_".
- More accurately indicate the sources of errors.
- We do a much better job of diagnosing disjunction failures. (So no more nonsensical ‘UInt8’ error messages.)
- We now present reasonable error messages for overload resolution failures, informing the user of partially-matching
parameter lists when possible.

Specifically, it's not when
- the conformance is being used within a function body (test included)
- the conformance is being used for or within a private type (test included)
- the conformance is being used to generate a diagnostic string
We're still a bit imprecise in some places (checking ObjC bridging), but
in general this means less of an issue for checking literals.

You'll notice that emitting this diagnostic will make some already noisy closure-related errors slightly more so. This is unfortunate, but for the time-being it's better than crashing.
Swift SVN r21817
While we work out the remaining performance improvements in the type checker, we can improve the user experience for some "runaway solver" bugs by setting a limit on the amount of temporary memory allocated for type variables when solving over a single expression.
Exponential behavior usually manifests itself while recursively attempting bindings over opened type variables in an expression. Each one of these bindings may result in one or more fresh type variables being created. On average, memory consumption by type variables is fairly light, but in some exponential cases it can quickly grow to many hundreds of megabytes or even gigabytes. (This memory is managed by a distinct arena in the AST context, so it's easy to track.) This problem is the source of many of the "freezing" compiler and SourceKit bugs we've been seeing.
These changes set a limit on the amount of memory that can be allocated for type variables while solving for a single expression. If the memory threshold is exceeded, we can surface a type error and suggest that the user decompose the expression into distinct, less-complex sub-expressions.
I've set the current threshold to 15MB which, experimentally, avoids false positives but doesn't let things carry on so long that the user feels compelled to kill the process before they can see an error message. (As a point of comparison, the largest allocation of type variable data while solving for a single expression in the standard library is 592,472 bytes.) I've also added a new hidden front-end flag, "solver-memory-threshold", that will allow users to set their own limit, in bytes.
Swift SVN r20986
Start capitalizing on some of the new diagnostic machinery in a few different ways:
- When mining constraints for type information, utilize constraints "favored" by the overload resolution process.
- When printing type variables, if the variable was created by opening a literal expression, utilize the literal
default type or conformance if possible.
- Utilize syntactic information when crafting diagnostics:
- If the constraint miner can produce a better diagnostic than the recorded failure, diagnose via constraints.
- Factor in the expression kind when choosing which types to include in a diagnostic message.
- Start customizing diagnostics based on the amount of type data available.
What does all this mean?
- Fewer type variables leaking into diagnostic messages.
- Far better diagnostics for overload resolution failures. Specifically, we now print proper argument type data
for failed function calls.
- No more "'Foo' is not convertible to 'Foo'" error messages
- A greater emphasis on type data means less dependence on the ordering of failed constraints. This means fewer
inscrutable diagnostics complaining about 'UInt8' when all the constituent expressions are of type Float.
So we still have a ways to go, but these changes should greatly improve the number of head-scratchers served up
by the type checker.

Previously, bridged value types and their corresponding Objective-C
classes allow inter-conversion via a number of user-defined conversion
functions in the Foundation module. Instead, make this a general
feature of the type checker so we can reason about it more
directly. Fixes <rdar://problem/16956098> and
<rdar://problem/17134986>, and eliminates 11 (half) of the
__conversion functions from the standard library and overlays.
A few notes:
- The XCTest changes are because a String can no longer directly
conform to CVarArg: this is a Good Thing (TM), because it should be
ambiguous: did you mean to pass it as an NSString or a C string?
- The Objective-C representations for the bridged collections are
hard-coded in the type checker. This is unfortunate and can be
remedied by adding another associated type to the
_BridgedToObjectiveC protocol.
