* [runtime] Clean up symbols in error machinery.
* [runtime] Clean up symbols in Foundation overlay.
* [runtime] Clean up symbols in collections and hashing.
* [runtime] Remove symbol controls from the Linux definition of swift_allocError.
* [tests] Add more stub functions for tests that link directly to the runtime.
This avoids indirection by making calls directly to the C implementations which prevents potentials of mismatched intent or changes of calling convention of @_silgen. The added benefit is that all of the shims in this case are no longer visible symbols (anyone using them was not authorized out side of the Foundation overlay). Also the callout methods in the headers now all share similar naming shcemes for easier refactoring and searching in the style of __NS<class><action> style. The previous compiled C/Objective-C source files were built with MRR the new headers MUST be ARC by Swift import rules.
The one caveat is that certain functions MUST avoid the bridge case (since they are part of the bridging code-paths and that would incur a recursive potential) which have the types erased up to NSObject * via the macro NS_NON_BRIDGED.
The remaining @_silgen declarations are either swift functions exposed externally to the rest of Swift’s runtime or are included in NSNumber.gyb which the Foundation team has other plans for removing those @_silgen functions at a later date and Data.swift has one external function left with @_silgen which is blocked by a bug in the compiler which seems to improperly import that particular method as an inline c function.
Use the generic type lowering algorithm described in
"docs/CallingConvention.rst#physical-lowering" to map from IRGen's explosion
type to the type expected by the ABI.
Change IRGen to use the swift calling convention (swiftcc) for native swift
functions.
Use the 'swiftself' attribute on self parameters and for closures contexts.
Use the 'swifterror' parameter for swift error parameters.
Change functions in the runtime that are called as native swift functions to use
the swift calling convention.
