Some utilities, like Builder.insert(after:) pass a Builder object that
represents an insertion point. That insertion point is sometimes needed to
determine which instructions to create (endApply vs. abortApply). But there is
no way to recover the insertion point. We don't want to simply return an
instruction, because that could be interpreted in different ways. Instead we
provide insertion block, but only in those situations where it makes sense and can't
be used incorrectly.
As the optimizer uses more and more AST stuff, it's now time to create an "AST" module.
Initially it defines following AST datastructures:
* declarations: `Decl` + derived classes
* `Conformance`
* `SubstitutionMap`
* `Type` and `CanonicalType`
Some of those were already defined in the SIL module and are now moved to the AST module.
This change also cleans up a few things:
* proper definition of `NominalTypeDecl`-related APIs in `SIL.Type`
* rename `ProtocolConformance` to `Conformance`
* use `AST.Type`/`AST.CanonicalType` instead of `BridgedASTType` in SIL and the Optimizer
This makes ManagedBuffer available and usable in Embedded Swift, by:
- Removing an internal consistency check from ManagedBuffer that relies on metatypes.
- Making the .create() API transparent (to hoist the metatype to the callee).
- Adding a AllocRefDynamicInst simplification to convert `alloc_ref_dynamic` to `alloc_ref`, which removes a metatype use.
- Adding tests for the above.
The OSSA elimination pass has not yet been moved below all high level
function passes. Until that work has been completed the Autodiff
closure-spec optimization pass cannot solely support OSSA instructions.
In preparation for inserting mark_dependence instructions for lifetime
dependencies early, immediately after SILGen. That will simplify the
implementation of borrowed arguments.
Marking them unresolved is needed to make OSSA verification
conservative until lifetime dependence diagnostics runs.
Optionally, the dependency to the initialization of the global can be specified with a dependency token `depends_on <token>`.
This is usually a `builtin "once"` which calls the initializer for the global variable.
The dependent 'value' may be marked 'nonescaping', which guarantees that the
lifetime dependence is statically enforceable. In this case, the compiler
must be able to follow all values forwarded from the dependent 'value', and
recognize all final (non-forwarded, non-escaping) use points. This implies
that `findPointerEscape` is false. A diagnostic pass checks that the
incoming SIL to verify that these use points are all initially within the
'base' lifetime. Regular 'mark_dependence' semantics ensure that
optimizations cannot violate the lifetime dependence after diagnostics.
* `alloc_vector`: allocates an uninitialized vector of elements on the stack or in a statically initialized global
* `vector`: creates an initialized vector in a statically initialized global
Introduce two modes of bridging:
* inline mode: this is basically how it worked so far. Using full C++ interop which allows bridging functions to be inlined.
* pure mode: bridging functions are not inlined but compiled in a cpp file. This allows to reduce the C++ interop requirements to a minimum. No std/llvm/swift headers are imported.
This change requires a major refactoring of bridging sources. The implementation of bridging functions go to two separate files: SILBridgingImpl.h and OptimizerBridgingImpl.h.
Depending on the mode, those files are either included in the corresponding header files (inline mode), or included in the c++ file (pure mode).
The mode can be selected with the BRIDGING_MODE cmake variable. By default it is set to the inline mode (= existing behavior). The pure mode is only selected in certain configurations to work around C++ interop issues:
* In debug builds, to workaround a problem with LLDB's `po` command (rdar://115770255).
* On windows to workaround a build problem.
This instructions marks the point where all let-fields of a class are initialized.
This is important to ensure the correctness of ``ref_element_addr [immutable]`` for let-fields,
because in the initializer of a class, its let-fields are not immutable, yet.
Codegen is the same, but `begin_dealloc_ref` consumes the operand and produces a new SSA value.
This cleanly splits the liferange to the region before and within the destructor of a class.
`ownership` is a bad name in `LoadInst`, because it hides `Value.ownership`.
Therefore rename it to `loadOwnership`.
Do the same for ownership in StoreInst to be consistent.
The `bare` attribute indicates that the object header is not used throughout the lifetime of the value.
This means, no reference counting operations are performed on the object and its metadata is not used.
The header of bare objects doesn't need to be initialized.
Look through `upcast` and `init_existential_ref` instructions and replace the operand of this cast instruction with the original value.
For example:
```
%2 = upcast %1 : $Derived to $Base
%3 = init_existential_ref %2 : $Base : $Base, $AnyObject
checked_cast_br %3 : $AnyObject to Derived, bb1, bb2
```
This makes it more likely that the cast can be constant folded because the source operand's type is more accurate.
In the example above, the cast reduces to
```
checked_cast_br %1 : $Derived to Derived, bb1, bb2
```
which can be trivially folded to always-succeeds.

* allow the Builder to build static initializer instructions for global variables
* some refactoring to simplify the implementation
This is in preparation for wiring up debug info support for noncopyable
values. Originally this flag name made sense since it was set when we performed
consume operator checking. Now I am going to use it for noncopyable types as
well. I think the new name uses_moveable_value_debuginfo actually describes what
the flag is supposed to do, tell IRGen that the value may be moved since it
needs to use moveable value debug info emission.
This instruction can be inserted by Onone optimizations as a replacement for deleted instructions to
ensure that it's possible to single step on its location.
* split the `PassContext` into multiple protocols and structs: `Context`, `MutatingContext`, `FunctionPassContext` and `SimplifyContext`
* change how instruction passes work: implement the `simplify` function in conformance to `SILCombineSimplifyable`
* add a mechanism to add a callback for inserted instructions
