Introduce the new BooleanLiteralConvertible protocol for Boolean
literals. Take "true" and "false" as real keywords (which is most of the
reason for the testsuite churn). Make Bool BooleanLiteralConvertible
and the default Boolean literal type, and ObjCBool
BooleanLiteralConvertible. Fixes <rdar://problem/17405310> and the
recent regression that made ObjCBool not work with true/false.

We no longer need this language feature. The Sema support is still skeletally kept in place because removing it seems to totally break pointer conversions; I need to work with Joe and Doug to figure out why that's the case.
Swift SVN r19289
Add primitive type-checker rules for pointer arguments. An UnsafePointer argument accepts:
- an UnsafePointer value of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is UnsafePointer<Void>,
- an inout parameter of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is UnsafePointer<Void>, or
- an inout Array parameter of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is UnsafePointer<Void>.
A ConstUnsafePointer argument accepts:
- an UnsafePointer, ConstUnsafePointer, or AutoreleasingUnsafePointer value of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is ConstUnsafePointer<Void>,
- an inout parameter of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is ConstUnsafePointer<Void>, or
- an inout or non-inout Array parameter of matching element type, or of any type if the argument is ConstUnsafePointer<Void>.
An AutoreleasingUnsafePointer argument accepts:
- an AutoreleasingUnsafePointer value of matching element type, or
- an inout parameter of matching element type.
This disrupts some error messages in unrelated tests, which is tracked by <rdar://problem/17380520>.

This means that we'll get deferred checking of array and dictionary
downcasts when writing "arr as Derived[]",
"(dict as? Dictionary<DerivedKey, DerivedValue>)!", etc, when the
collection can do so.
This is both a general optimization and also staging for
<rdar://problem/17319154>.
Swift SVN r18975
This is all goodness, and eliminates a major source of implicit conversions.
One thing this regresses on though, is that we now reject "x == nil" where
x is an option type and the element of the optional is not Equtatable. If
this is important, there are ways to enable this, but directly testing it as
a logic value is more straight-forward.
This does not include support for pattern matching against nil, that will be
a follow on patch.
Swift SVN r18918
Semantically, these expressions handle the same thing: an upcast of a
collection when the underlying element types of the source are
subtypes of or can be bridged to subtypes of the destination. This
reduces some branching in the type checker and eliminates duplication
in SILGen.
Swift SVN r18865
Allow class metatypes (including class-constrained existential metatypes) to be treated as subtypes of AnyObject, and single-@objc protocol metatypes to be treated as subtypes of the Protocol class from objc. No codegen support yet, so this is hidden behind a frontend flag for now.
Swift SVN r18810
There's a bit of a reshuffle of the ExplicitCastExpr subclasses:
- The existing ConditionalCheckedCastExpr expression node now represents
"as?".
- A new ForcedCheckedCastExpr node represents "as" when it is a
downcast.
- CoerceExpr represents "as" when it is a coercion.
- A new UnresolvedCheckedCastExpr node describes "as" before it has
been type-checked down to ForcedCheckedCastExpr or CoerceExpr. This
wasn't a strictly necessary change, but it helps us detangle what's
going on.
There are a few new diagnostics to help users avoid getting bitten by
as/as? mistakes:
- Custom errors when a forced downcast (as) is used as the operand
of postfix '!' or '?', with Fix-Its to remove the '!' or make the
downcast conditional (with as?), respectively.
- A warning when a forced downcast is injected into an optional,
with a suggestion to use a conditional downcast.
- A new error when the postfix '!' is used for a contextual
downcast, with a Fix-It to replace it with "as T" with the
contextual type T.
Lots of test updates, none of which felt like regressions. The new
tests are in test/expr/cast/optionals.swift.
Addresses <rdar://problem/17000058>
Swift SVN r18556
Array downcast is an explicit cast written "x as U[]", not an implicit
conversion, so make it a subclass of ExplicitCastExpr. The only
effective change here is that we retain the location of the "as" and
the type as written in the AST. No semantic change.

when resolving identifiers into types. This will eventually allow us to
solve annoying issues like rdar://15295763&15588967 by better modeling
what we already have.
Swift SVN r16620
Teach SILGen to handle function representation changes as part of function conversion instead of needing to be spoonfed a special expr for the purpose. Handle representation changes in both directions to and from blocks using the same logic as the bridging conversions.
Swift SVN r16318
Add a third branch to the constraint system for '&x' expressions that allows conversion from an lvalue to a type via an additional writeback step:
- Add an LValueConversionExpr node that converts from @lvalue T to @lvalue U, given a pair of functions that convert T -> U and U -> T, to represent the writeback temporary.
- Allow conversion in an inout expression from @lvalue T to a type U that has the following members:
static func __writeback_conversion(Builtin.RawPointer, T.Type) -> U
static func __writeback_conversion_get(T) -> V
static func __writeback_conversion_set(V) -> T
which builds a solution that produces an LValueConversion from the get/set pair before passing the pointer to the writeback temporary off to the conversion function.
Swift SVN r15764
Add two new AST node types:
- InOutConversionExpr, which represents an '&x' expression that involves inout conversion. This will be a signal to SILGen not to introduce a writeback scope for the nested conversion call.
- LValueToPointerExpr, which represents the primitive '@lvalue T' to 'RawPointer' conversion that produces the argument to the inout conversion.
Build an InOutConversionExpr AST when an inout expression is resolved by a conversion to an BuiltinInOutAddressConvertible type.
Swift SVN r15594
Factor an IdentityExpr base class out of ParenExpr, and migrate most of the logic to see through ParenExprs to see through IdentityExprs instead. Add DotSelfExpr as a new subclass of IdentityExpr, produced by parsing 'x.self'.
Swift SVN r14381
When applying a function that was produced via a covariant function
conversion, strip off that covariant function conversion and introduce
a covariant (function or return) conversion outside of the
application. This allows us to perform the covariant conversion very
late, eliminating the need to produce reabstraction thunks for any
call to a DynamicSelf method.
Swift SVN r13779
Introduce a new expression kind, OpenExistentialExpr, that "opens" up
an existential value into a value of a fresh archetype type that
represents the dynamic type of the existential. That value can be
referenced (via an OpaqueValueExpr) within the within the
subexpression of OpenExistentialExpr. For example, a call to a
DynamicSelf method on an existential looks something like this:
(open_existential_expr implicit type='P'
(opaque_value_expr implicit type='opened P' @ 0x7fd95207c290
unique)
(load_expr implicit type='P'
(declref_expr type='@lvalue P' decl=t.(file).func
decl.p@t.swift:5:37 specialized=no))
(erasure_expr implicit type='P'
(call_expr type='opened P'
(archetype_member_ref_expr type='() -> opened P'
decl=t.(file).P.f@t.swift:2:8 [with Self=opened P]
(opaque_value_expr implicit type='opened P' @
0x7fd95207c290 unique))
(tuple_expr type='()')))))
Note that we're using archetype_member_ref_expr rather than
existential_member_ref_expr, because the call is operating on the
opaque_value_expr of archetype type. The outer erasure turns the
archetype value back into an existential value.
The SILGen side of this is somewhat incomplete; we're using
project_existential[_ref] to open the existential, which is almost
correct: it gives us access to the value as an archetype, but IRGen
doesn't know to treat the archetype type as a fresh archetype whose
conformances come from the existential. Additionally, the output of
the opened type is not properly parsable. I'll fix this in follow-on
commits.
Finally, the type checker very narrowly introduces support for
OpenExistentialExpr as it pertains to DynamicSelf. However, this can
generalize to support all accesses into existentials, eliminating the
need for ExistentialMemberRef and ExistentialSubscript in the AST and
protocol_method in SIL, as well as enabling more advanced existential
features should we want them later.
Swift SVN r13740
Introduce a new AST node to capture the covariant function type
conversion for DynamicSelf. This conversion differs from the normal
function-conversion expressions because it isn't inherently type-safe;
type safety is assured through DynamicSelf.
On the SIL side, map DynamicSelf down to the type of the declaring
class to keep the SIL type system consistent. Map the new
CovariantFunctionConversionExpr down to a convert_function
instruction, slightly loosening the constraints on convert_function to
allow for this (it's always been ABI-compatible-only conversions
anyway).
We currently generate awful SIL when calling a DynamicSelf method,
because SILGenApply doesn't know how to deal with the implicit return
type adjustment associated with the covariant function
conversion. That optimization will follow; at least what we have here
is (barely) functional.

Now that we have a solid Optional-based story for dynamic casts, it's no longer needed, and can be expressed as '(x as T)!'. Future refinement of the 'as' syntax will deal with the unfortunate extra parens.
Swift SVN r9181
As with the monadic '?', we treat any left-bound '!' as a postfix
operator. Currently, it extracts the value of its optional
subexpression, failing at run-time if the optional is empty.
Swift SVN r8948
Parse '_' as a DiscardAssignmentExpr. Type-check it as an lvalue, and check that it only appears in the LHS of AssignExprs. During matching pattern resolution, convert it into an AnyPattern. In SILGen, when we see '_' in the LHS of an assignment, ignore the corresponding RHS rvalue.
Swift SVN r8848
Though we plan to revamp the casting syntax, our general plan is for this form of cast, which does a conditional cast and returns an Optional<T> result, to be the one that survives. Parse the status-quo syntax 'x as? T' and type-check it. While we're here, refresh some fixits for redundant casts that referred to the now defunct 'as T' coercion syntax to completely remove whatever cast was in the source code.
