AnyFunctionRef is a universal function reference that can wrap all AST nodes
that represent functions and exposes a common interface to them. Use it in two
places in SIL where CapturingExpr was used previously.
AnyFunctionRef allows further simplifications in other places, but these will
be done separately.

These helper expressions will eventually be used by SILGen to help
package up the optional values. I expect that we'll eventually have
library builtins for this, so consider this a stop-gap until those
appear.
As part of this, make OpaqueValueExpr a bit more usable: it can now
persist in the AST as a placeholder, but its uses must be within AST
subtrees of some specific introduction point (similarly to how Clang's
OpaqueValueExpr works).

MemberRefExpr now uses ConcreteDeclRef to refer to its member, which
includes the substitutions and obviates the need for
GenericMemberRefExpr.
Swift SVN r7842
When performing member lookup into an existential that involves the
DynamicLookup protocol, look into all classes and protocols for that
member. References to anything found via this lookup mechanism are
returned as instances of Optional.
This introduces the basic lookup mechanics into the type
checker. There are still numerous issues to work through:
- Subscripting isn't supported yet
- There's no SILGen or IRGen support
- The ASTs probably aren't good enough for the above anyway
- References to generics will be broken
- Ambiguity resolution or non-resolution
Thanks to Jordan for the patch wiring up DynamicLookup.

This was not likely an error-free change. Where you see problems
please correct them. This went through a fairly tedious audit
before committing, but comments might have been changed incorrectly,
not changed at all, etc.
Swift SVN r7631
Because of '~=' lookahead and precedence parsing, we need to be able to parse pattern productions in expression position and validate them after name binding. Add an unresolved Expr node that can hold a subpattern for this purpose.
Swift SVN r5825
Improve our representations of casts in the AST and SIL so that 'as!' and 'is' (and eventually 'as?') can share almost all of the same type-checking, SILGen, and IRGen code.
In the AST, we now represent 'as!' and 'is' as UnconditionalCheckedCastExpr and IsaExpr, respectively, with the semantic variations of cast (downcast, super-to-archetype, archetype-to-concrete, etc.) discriminated by an enum field. This keeps the user-visible syntactic and type behavior differences of the two forms cleanly separated for AST consumers.
At the SIL level, we transpose the representation so that the different cast semantics get their own instructions and the conditional/unconditional cast behavior is indicated by an enum, making it easy for IRGen to discriminate the different code paths for the different semantics. We also add an 'IsNonnull' instruction to cover the conditional-cast-result-to-boolean conversion common to all the forms of 'is'.
The upshot of all this is that 'x is T' now works for all the new archetype and existential cast forms supported by 'as!'.
Swift SVN r5737
Open us 'a as! T' to allow dynamic casts from archetypes to archetypes, archetypes to concrete types, existentials to archetypes, and existentials to concrete types. When the type-checker finds these cases, generate new Unchecked*To*Expr node types for each case.
We don't yet check whether the target type actually makes sense with the constraints of the archetype or existential, nor do we implement the SILGen/IRGen backends for these operations. We also don't extend 'x is T' to query the new operation kinds. There's a better factoring that would allow 'as!' and 'is' to share more code. For now, I want to make sure 'x as! T' continues to work for ObjC APIs when we flip the switch to import protocol types.
Swift SVN r5611
We can save some source code noise and ASTContext allocation traffic by representing unsequenced assignments and ternaries using AssignExpr/IfExpr with the left and right subnodes nulled out, filling them in during sequence folding.
Swift SVN r5509
Parse '=' as a binary operator with fixed precedence, parsing it into a temporary UnsequencedAssignExpr that gets matched to operands and turned into an AssignExpr during sequence expr folding. This makes '=' behave like library-defined assignment-like binary operators.
This temporarily puts '=' at the wrong precedence relative to 'as' and 'is', until 'as' and 'is' can be integrated into sequence parsing as well.
Swift SVN r5508
Change AssignStmt into AssignExpr; this will make assignment behave more consistently with assignment-like operators, and is a first step toward integrating '=' parsing with SequenceExpr resolution so that '=' can obey precedence rules. This also nicely simplifies the AST representation of c-style ForStmts; the initializer and increment need only be Expr* instead of awkward Expr*/AssignStmt* unions.
This doesn't actually change any user-visible behavior yet; AssignExpr is still only parsed at statement scope, and typeCheckAssignment is still segregrated from the constraint checker at large. (In particular, a PipeClosureExpr containing a single assign expr in its body still doesn't use the assign expr to resolve its own type.) The parsing issue will be addressed by handling '=' during SequenceExpr resolution. typeCheckAssignment can hopefully be reworked to work within the constraint checker too.
Swift SVN r5500
Instead of trying to parse '?' and ':' as separate placeholder exprs and matching them up during binary expr resolution, it's a bit cleaner to parse the entire '? ... :' middle expr of the ternary into a single placeholder node at parse time. Then binary expr resolution only ever has to consider a single sequence element.
Swift SVN r5499
This commit implements closure syntax that places the (optional)
parameter list in pipes within the curly braces of a closure. This
syntax "slides" well from very simple closures with anonymous
arguments, e.g.,
sort(array, {$1 > $0})
to naming the arguments
sort(array, {|x, y| x > y})
to adding a return type and/or parameter types
sort(array, {|x : String, y : String| -> Bool x > y})
and with multiple statements in the body:
sort(array, {|x, y|
print("Comparing \(x) and \(y)\n")
return x > y
})
When the body contains only a single expression, that expression
participates in type inference with its enclosing expression, which
allows one to type-check, e.g.,
map(strings, {|x| x.toUpper()})
without context. If one has multiple statements, however, one will
need to provide additional type information either with context
strings = map(strings, {
return $0.toUpper()
})
or via annotations
map(strings, {|x| -> String
return x.toUpper()
}
because we don't perform inter-statement type inference.
The new closure expressions are only available with the new type
checker, where they completely displace the existing { $0 + $1 }
anonymous closures. 'func' expressions remain unchanged.
The tiny test changes (in SIL output and the constraint-checker test)
are due to the PipeClosureExpr AST storing anonymous closure arguments
($0, $1, etc.) within a pattern in the AST. It's far cleaner to
implement this way.
The testing here is still fairly light. In particular, we need better
testing of parser recovery, name lookup for closures with local types,
more deduction scenarios, and multi-statement closures (which don't
get exercised beyond the unit tests).
Swift SVN r5169
We will handle Swift-function-to-ObjC-block bridging in SILGen as part of general Cocoa-to-Swift type bridging. Temporarily disable building swiftAppKit and tests that exercise block bridging until the new implementation lands.
Swift SVN r5090
Fixes <rdar://problem/13723781>.
T(x) still has some lingering conversion behavior, so there's a type-checking ambiguity in classes that are constructible from super- or subclasses, like stdlib's File is from VFSObject. I cheesed around this for now by using keywords in the constructor forms that have ambiguities. This issue should go away when we finish making T(x) mean only construction.
Swift SVN r5002
One can now attach an initializer to a member variable. That value
will used as the default initialization for the member variable(s) it
initializes. Fixes <rdar://problem/12597404>.
Swift SVN r4989
Give the ternary a fixed precedence, parse '?' and ':' into SequenceExprs, and fold them into IfExprs as part of sequence folding. This allows assignment operators like '+=' to have precedence below the ternary as in C. Fixes <rdar://problem/13756211>.
Swift SVN r4983
Add assignment statements into the implicitly-defined default
constructor body to initialize all of the members appropriately, e.g.,
by calling the default constructor. For builtin types and class types,
introduce ZeroValueInitExpr to produce a "zero" value.
ZeroValueInitExpr still needs a representation in SIL. Until then,
actual generation of this AST is suppressed.
Swift SVN r4895
Add an IsaInst to represent type tests, and implement SILGen for IsSubtypeExpr AST nodes. Get rid of SuperIsArchetypeExpr because it's not really necessary to have it different from IsaSubtype--the SIL and IR behavior is identical.
Swift SVN r4855
Provide distinct syntax 'a as T' for coercions and 'a as! T' for unchecked downcasts, and add type-checker logic specialized to coercions and downcasts for these expressions. Change the AST representation of ExplicitCastExpr to keep the destination type as a TypeLoc rather than a subexpression, and change the names of the nodes to UncheckedDowncast and UncheckedSuperToArchetype to make their unchecked-ness explicit and disambiguate them from future checked casts.
In order to keep the changes staged, this doesn't yet affect the T(x) constructor syntax, which will for the time being still perform any construction, coercion, or cast.
Swift SVN r4498
Now that we don't allow static methods to be invoked from instances we no longer need an AST node to represent an implicit instance-to-metatype conversion. MetatypeExpr encodes the explicit '.metatype' operation.
Swift SVN r4472
Implement the syntax 'if x then y else z', which evaluates to 'y' if 'x' is true or 'z' if 'x' is false. 'x' must be a valid logic value, and 'y' and 'z' must be implicitly convertible to a common type.
Swift SVN r4407
'super.constructor' shouldn't be referenceable without being called, and 'super.constructor(...)' shouldn't return a value. Require super.constructor expressions to be called at parse time, and wrap the call expression in a new RebindThisInConstructorExpr that represents consuming the delegated-to constructor by using it to reassign 'this'. This should theoretically allow super.constructor to an ill-behaved self-modifying ObjC class to work. It's also necessary to support delegating constructors of value types.
Swift SVN r4326
Replace the more specific Super*RefExpr nodes with a single SuperRefExpr that resolves members of 'this' relative to its superclass. Add an OtherConstructorDeclRefExpr for referring to a constructor as called from another constructor, and use it to represent resolved 'super.constructor' expressions. (It should also be able to represent delegating constructors for free, if we decide we want to add syntax for that.)
Swift SVN r4286
This node represents a type parameter list application in an unresolved expr context. The type checker will use these to explicitly bind type variables of generic types.
Swift SVN r4046
Analyze an expression of the form [<tuple contents>] into a call to T.convertFromArrayLiteral(<tuple contents>) for some T conforming to an ArrayLiteralConvertible protocol. Because of some limitations in the constraint checker and protocol conformance checkers, it currently does an ad-hoc conformance check using member constraints. It also currently fails to typecheck for generic container types, and does not provide a default fallback to 'T[]' if unable to deduce a better type from context.
Swift SVN r3953
Provide a BridgeToBlockExpr AST node as a temporary representation of func-to-block conversions. In Sema, when we see an [objc_block] type, insert a BridgeToBlock node and coerce the subexpression to the non-block func type.
Swift SVN r3897
Set up AST nodes for 'super.<identifier>', 'super.constructor', and 'super[<expr>]' expressions, and implement parsing for them without any sema or backend support.
Swift SVN r3847
The IR generation for this conversion is different from
derived-to-base conversions, because converting from an archetype to
its superclass type means projecting the buffer and then performing
the conversion.
Swift SVN r3462
This introduces support for the syntax
Derived(baseObj)
to downcast from a class type to one of its subclasses. This still
needs more language design and implementation work, including:
- This overloads the X(y) syntax again, which already means either
"coerce y to type X, performing implicit conversions if necessary"
or "construct a value of type X from y". It's no actually ambiguous,
because the first case won't apply for downcasts and the second case
is limited to value types, but it makes me wonder whether we want a
different syntax for the first case.
- We need this to be a checked cast, but don't have the runtime
infrastructure to do so yet. I've left this as a FIXME.
However, the Objective-C importer is fairly useless because everything
that creates an object returns an "id", "id" maps to "NSObject", and
then the type system doesn't let you get from NSObject back to the
type you care about. So, this lets you explicitly do the cast.
Swift SVN r3279
No functionality change: the only subclass is CoerceExpr, for cases
where the user has forced an expression to a given type, e.g., Int32(17).
Swift SVN r3278
conversions on metatypes; at runtime it has no effect,
since those conversions are always trivial. Fix a number
of bugs involving the conversion of metatypes, in both
typecheckers.
Swift SVN r3055
Introduce a '.metatype' form in the syntax and do some basic
type-checking that I probably haven't done right. Change
IR-generation for that and GetMetatypeExpr to use code that
actually honors the dynamic type of an expression.
