Instead of calling malloc, call AlignedAlloc. That calls posix_memalign on platforms where it's available. The man page cautions to use it judiciously, but Apple OSes and Linux implement it to call through to malloc when the alignment is suitable. Presumably/hopefully other OSes do the same.

* Remove RegisterPreservingCC. It was unused.
* Remove DefaultCC from the runtime. The distinction between C_CC and DefaultCC
was unused and inconsistently applied. Separate C_CC and DefaultCC are
still present in the compiler.
* Remove function pointer indirection from runtime functions except those
that are used by Instruments. The remaining Instruments interface is
expected to change later due to function pointer liability.
* Remove swift_rt_ wrappers. Function pointers are an ABI liability that we
don't want, and there are better ways to get nonlazy binding if we need it.
The fully custom wrappers were only needed for RegisterPreservingCC and
for optimizing the Instruments function pointers.
This makes sure that runtime functions use proper calling conventions, get the required visibility, etc.
We annotate the most popular runtime functions in terms of how often they are invoked from Swift code.
- Almost all variants of retain/release functions are annotated to use the new calling convention.
- Some popular non-reference counting functions like swift_getGenericMetadata or swift_dynamicCast are annotated as well.
The set of runtime functions annotated to use the new calling convention should exactly match the definitions in RuntimeFunctions.def!
Set up a separate libSwiftStubs.a archive for C++ stub functionality that's needed by the standard library but not part of the core runtime interface. Seed it with the Stubs.cpp and LibcShims.cpp files, which consist only of stubs, though a few stubs are still strewn across the runtime code base.
The standard library has grown significantly, and we need a new
directory structure that clearly reflects the role of the APIs, and
allows future growth.
See stdlib/{public,internal,private}/README.txt for more information.
