Streamline internal String creation. Previously, everything funneled
into a single generic function, however, every single call of the
generic funnel had relevant specific information that could be used
for a more efficient algorithm.
In preparation for efficiently forming small strings, refactor this
logic into a handful of more specialized subroutines to preserve more
specific information from the callers.
- Update NSRange -> Range guidance
- Fix example in Optional
- Improve RangeExpression docs
- Fix issue in UnsafeRawBufferPointer.initializeMemory
- Code point -> scalar value most places
- Reposition the dot above the scripty `i'
- Fix ExpressibleByArrayLiteral code sample
- remove additional 'characters' references from String docs
- improved language around escaping pointer arguments
- key path type abstracts
- codable type abstract revisions
- a few more NSString API fixes
Piggybacks some resilience diagnostics onto the availability
checking code.
Public and versioned functions with inlineable bodies can only
reference other public and internal entities, since the SIL code
for the function body is serialized and stored as part of the
module.
This includes @_transparent functions, @_inlineable functions,
accessors for @_inlineable storage, @inline(__always) functions,
and in Swift 4 mode, default argument expressions.
The new checks are a source-breaking change, however we don't
guarantee source compatibility for underscored attributes.
The new ABI and tests for the default argument model will come in
subsequent commits.
1. The change in StaticString's withUTF8Buffer is to store the UTF-8 code unit properly in the buffer.
2. The change in StringCore's _nthContiguous is to represent the UTF-16 data correctly when it contains the high byte.
We ran validation tests and foundation tests with the change on x86-64 and s390x. No new regression is observed.
We were using a precondition which crashes the program when invalid input is
provided. We want to provide a way to gracefully check and handle invalid input
or shutdown the program if necessary.
SR-1930
change includes both the necessary protocol updates and the deprecation
warnings
suitable for migration. A future patch will remove the renamings and
make this
a hard error.
This documentation revision covers a large number of types & protocols:
String, its views and their indices, the Unicode codec types and protocol,
as well as Character, UnicodeScalar, and StaticString, among others.
This also includes a few small changes across the standard library for
consistency.
This is a staging attribute that will eventually mean "fixed-contents"
for structs and "closed" for enums, as described in
docs/LibraryEvolution.rst.
This is pretty much the minimal set of types that must be fixed-layout,
because SILGen makes assumptions about their lowering.
If desired, some SILGen refactoring can allow some of these to be
resilient. For example, bridging value types could be made to work
with resilient types.
