Now that every foreign type has a type context descriptor, we can use that for a uniquing key instead of a dedicated mangled string, saving some code size especially in code that makes heavy use of imported types. rdar://problem/37537241
Minimize the generic class metadata template by removing the
class header and base-class members. Add back the set of
information that's really required for instantiation.
Teach swift_allocateGenericClass how to allocate classes without
superclass metadata. Reorder generic initialization to establish
a stronger phase-ordering between allocation (the part that doesn't
really care about the generic arguments) and initialization (the
part that really does care about the generic arguments and therefore
might need to be delayed to handle metadata cycles).
A similar thing needs to happen for resilient class relocation.
This makes resolving mangled names to nominal types in the same module more efficient, and for eventual secrecy improvements, also allows types in the same module to be referenced from mangled typerefs without encoding any source-level name information about them.
This new format more efficiently represents existing information, while
more accurately encoding important information about nested generic
contexts with same-type and layout constraints that need to be evaluated
at runtime. It's also designed with an eye to forward- and
backward-compatible expansion for ABI stability with future Swift
versions.
The mangled name of protocol descriptors was the “protocol composition”
type consisting of a single protocol, which is a little odd. Instead,
use a bare protocol reference (e.g., “6Module5ProtoP”) with the “$S”
prefer to be more in line with nominal type descriptor names while still
making it clear that this is a Swift (not an Objective-C) protocol.
If the nominal type descriptor's resilient superclass flag
is set, the generic parameter offset, vtable start offset
and field offset start offset are all relative to the
start of the class's immedaite members, and not the start
of the class metadata.
Support this by loading the size of the superclass and
adding it to these offsets if the flag is set.
While creating demangled tree for function and tuple types
`_swift_buildDemanglingForMetadata` should use correct format
established by mangler and respected by printer/demangler.
NFC intended. The layout of trailing matter here is getting fairly complex, so it's good to use LLVM's existing library code to keep track of it. We use a fork of llvm's TrailingObjects.h header so that future changes to LLVM don't disturb the ABI of Swift runtime objects that use the template.
Currently only single 'inout' flag has been encoded into function
metadata, these changes extend function metadata to support up to
32 flags per parameter.

This changes layout of the parameter metadata from single tuple record
(in case of materializable type) to N records each corresponding to
invididual function parameter, where functions with no parameters
`() -> Void` get 0 records allocated.
Wean the routine that builds a mangling tree from metadata from
looking at the parent metadata pointer, instead using the nested
depth to partition the arguments into a list of arguments for
each nesting depth.
The compiler pre-canonicalizes protocol composition types by minimizing constraints and sorting the remaining protocols by module + name, which ought to be globally stable within a program (assuming there aren't multiple modules with the same name, in which case we'll have bigger problems…). The compiler also statically lays out existential types according to its conception of the canonical composition ordering, so the runtime's own attempts to form a stable ordering lead to layout inconsistencies between runtime and compile-time layout, leading to crashes like SR-4477.
This reverts commit 25985cb764. For now,
we're trying to avoid spurious non-structural changes to the mangling,
so that the /old/ mangling doesn't appear to change. That doesn't mean
no changes at all, but we can save this one for later.
Replace VariadicTuple and NonVariadicTuple with a single Tuple node.
The variadic property is now part of the tuple element and not of the whole tuple.
Previously it was part of swiftBasic.
The demangler library does not depend on llvm (except some header-only utilities like StringRef). Putting it into its own library makes sure that no llvm stuff will be linked into clients which use the demangler library.
This change also contains other refactoring, like moving demangler code into different files. This makes it easier to remove the old demangler from the runtime library when we switch to the new symbol mangling.
Also in this commit: remove some unused API functions from the demangler Context.
fixes rdar://problem/30503344
This makes the demangler about 10 times faster.
It also changes the lifetimes of nodes. Previously nodes were reference-counted.
Now the returned demangle node-tree is owned by the Demangler class and it’s lifetime ends with the lifetime of the Demangler.
Therefore the old (and already deprecated) global functions demangleSymbolAsNode and demangleTypeAsNode are no longer available.
Another change is that the demangling for reflection now only supports the new mangling (which should be no problem because
we are generating only new mangled names for reflection).
It also uses the new mangling for type names in meta-data (except for top-level non-generic classes).
lldb has now support for new mangled metadata type names.
This reinstates commit 21ba292943.
For this we are linking the new re-mangler instead of the old one into the swift runtime library.
Also we are linking the new de-mangling into the swift runtime library.
It also switches to the new mangling for class names of generic swift classes in the metadata.
Note that for non-generic class we still have to use the old mangling, because the ObjC runtime in the OS depends on it (it de-mangles the class names).
But names of generic classes are not handled by the ObjC runtime anyway, so there should be no problem to change the mangling for those.
The reason for this change is that it avoids linking the old re-mangler into the runtime library.
Previously we had two separate mechanisms to turn a metatype
into a string. The swift_typeName() function was used to print
the metatype in a human-readable fashion, whereas the
_swift_buildDemanglingForMetadata() was used when naming
generated generic Objective-C classes.
Unify them, since what swift_typeName() does is redundant;
instead of going directly from the metatype to a human-readable
string, we can get the mangling, and print that using the
demangler.
This fixes some issues with unnecessary parenthesis when
printing function types, and also allows Objective-C classes
to be instantiated with nested generic types as parameters.
Previously, these were all using MetadataCache. MetadataCache is a
more heavyweight structure which acquires a lock before building the
metadata. This is appropriate if building the metadata is very
expensive or might have semantic side-effects which cannot be rolled
back. It's also useful when there's a risk of re-entrance, since it
can diagnose such things instead of simply dead-locking or infinitely
recursing. However, it's necessary for structural cases like tuple
and function types, and instead we can just use ConcurrentMap, which
does a compare-and-swap to publish the constructed metadata and
potentially destroys it if another thread successfully won the race.
This is an optimization which we could not previously attempt.
As part of this, fix tuple metadata uniquing to consider the label
string correctly. This exposes a bug where the runtime demangling
of tuple metadata nodes doesn't preserve labels; fix this as well.
