Add a SILLocation-based syntactic suppression for diagnostics of static
access conflicts on the arguments to the Standard Library's swap() free
function. We'll suppress for calls to this function until we have a safe
replacement.
- Most immediately, we now have `withoutActuallyEscaping` as a supported way to temporarily reference a nonescaping closure as if it were escapable, and we plan to break the ABI for escaping and nonescaping closures so that the old `unsafeBitCast` workaround no longer works.
- `unsafeBitCast` is also commonly used to kludge pointers into different types, but we have more semantically meaningful APIs for type punning now. Guide users towards those APIs.
- Suggest more specific and type-safe operations, like `bitPattern:` initializers or `unsafeDowncast`, for the situations where `unsafeBitCast` is being used to avoid dynamic type checks or reinterpret numerical bits.
This eliminates a pile of now-dead code in:
* The type checker, where we no longer have special cases for bridging conversions
* The expression ASTs, where we no longer need to distinguish bridging collection up/down casts
* SILGen, which no longer uses
Still to come is the removal of the
_(set|dictionary)Bridge(From|To)ObjectiveC(Conditional)? entrypoints
from the standard library. They're still used by some tests.
Bitcast the AnyObject result to AnyObject?, then call our new helper function, so that we can handle nils without choking. Fixes rdar://problem/27874026.
When emitting an existential erasure to Error from an archetype, use
the _getEmbeddedNSError() witness. If it produces an NSError, erase
that; otherwise, go through the normal erasure path.
Of course, make NSError and CFError implement _getEmbeddedNSError() so
this kicks in for the obvious cases as well as the more obscure ones.
Fixes the rest of SR-1562 / rdar://problem/26370984.
- Previously we didn't know how to bridge address-only types. Add some
plumbing for this. Not fully general yet, but with a bit more work we
could allow resilient value types to adopt _ObjectiveCBridgable, too.
For now, this is just intended to support the id-as-Any work.
- Specifically when going from a type without any other known bridging
strategy, emit a call to the new `_bridgeAnythingToObjectiveC` entry
point from the previous commit.
We may want to use optimized ErrorType representations that don't naturally "become" NSErrors, such as tagged-pointer representations of small error enums, or a tagged function pointer to a deferred error type constructor. Rename the runtime function to something a bit more descriptive of its real purpose, not its implementation.

We define two new library functions _knownForceBridgeFromObjectiveC/_knownConditionallyBridgeFromObjectiveC, similar to _forceBridgeFromObjectiveC/_conditionallyBridgeFromObjectiveC. The main difference is that they require their arguments to conform to _BridgedToObjectiveC and _BridgedToObjectiveC. _ObjectiveCType accordingly. With this change, it is now possible to invoke the _BridgedToObjectiveC._forceBridgeFromObjectiveC witness directly, without going via the inefficient swift_bridgeNonVerbatimFromObjectiveC.
So now, for a cast O -> S, if it can be statically proven that an ObjC type O is bridgeable to a Swift type S implementing the _BridgedToObjectiveC protocol (i.e. O is the class (or its subclass) defined by the S._ObjectiveCType alias), we can generate a code to invoke the newly defined library function _knownForceBridgeFromObjectiveC/_knownConditionallyBridgeFromObjectiveC instead of _forceBridgeFromObjectiveC/_conditionallyBridgeFromObjectiveC.
After inlining, this will end-up invoking S._forceBridgeFromObjectiveC directly instead of invoking a more general, but less effective swift_bridgeNonVerbatimFromObjectiveC, which always performs conformance checks at runtime, even if conformances are known statically. As a result, no conformance checks are performed at run-time if conformances are known statically.
The client code making use of these new APIs and the tests are coming in the subsequent commits.
The naming of the two new helper library functions was discussed with Dmitri.
This is part of the bridging casts optimization effort. And it is specifically useful for e.g. rdar://19081345.

The problem here was that the _preconditionImplicitlyUnwrappedOptionalHasValue
compiler intrinsic was taking the optional/IUO argument as inout as a performance
optimization, but DI would reject it (in narrow cases, in inits) because the inout
argument looks like a mutation.
We could rework this to take it as an @in argument or something, but it is better
to just define this problem away: the precondition doesn't actually care about the
optional, it is just testing its presence, which SILGen does all the time. Have
SILGen open code the switch_enum and just have the stdlib provide a simpler
_diagnoseUnexpectedNilOptional() to produce the error message.
This avoids the problem completely and produces slightly better -O0 codegen.

Eliminate the intermediate top_level_code function. Now that SIL is expressive enough to express a "main" function, there's no reason for it, and this eliminates a bunch of mystery code in IRGen to thunk from main to top_level_code by reaching for hardcoded symbol names. Demystify the special code for setting up C_ARGC and C_ARGV by having SILGen look for a transparent "_didEnterMain" hook in the stdlib and emit a call to it.
Swift SVN r22525
This avoids a pointless copy every time an array literal is written, and will let us retire the horrible "alloc_array" instruction and globs of broken IRGen code. Implements rdar://problem/16386862, and probably fixes a bunch of bugs related to alloc_array brokenness.

This is essentially NFC, but the protocols we were calling into are
changing in a way that makes it hard to use the witnesses directly
from the type checker.

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>.
