Move bits mask from Metadata.h to SwiftShims's HeapObject.h. This
exposes the bit masks to the stdlib, so that the stdlib doesn't have
to have its own magic numbers per-platform. This also enhances
readability for BridgeObject, whose magic numbers are mostly derived
from Swift's ABI.
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.
We still have a bunch of redeclarations of Dispatch functions to avoid
the automatic bridging of dispatch_data_t and dispatch_block_t, but
mostly this is a vast reduction in complexity (and increase in safety).
Loading a Clang module eagerly brings in overlays for anything it re-exports,
but this is a problem for these new "shim header" modules, which generally
import the underlying module for an overlay and are in turn imported by the
overlay. That means that when we try to import an overlay, we'll end up with
a circular reference before it's done loading all its dependencies. Break the
cycle by not exporting anything from these modules, which are mostly just an
implementation detail anyway.
* Fix DispatchSourceSignal initialisation such that it no longer
registers for the wrong source type.
* Remove (group:) option from DispatchWorkItem, introduce group
options to `.async` methods that accept DispatchWorkItem.
* Rename `DispatchSourceType` to `DispatchSourceProtocol`
* Rework DispatchQueue attributes and flags into a less confusing
approach.
* Fixes:
