These APIs are from the Swift 1.2 => Swift 2.0 transition, and are not
relevant anymore.
Removing them reduces the surface area of the library that needs to be
reviewed.
This commit removes _UnsafePartiallyInitializedContiguousArrayBuffer from two
more methods. I did not measure the performance impact of this change but I am
expecting this code to run faster.
This commit simplifies map() of collections into a simple append-loop. The Swift
optimizer can do a better job optimizing code without unsafe constructs. This
change accelerates the MapReduce benchmark by 2x.
This allows removal of the DebugDescription protocol which is invalid
because no classes actually conform to it. The problem is that we need
to send a debugDescription message to an NSObject without loading
Foundation. This is exactly what shims are for. A very simple shim
solves the problem.
Adding a conformance to Foundation doesn't work because NSString can
be used without loading Foundation. debugDescription is one example of
this.
The only value we derive from the _CocoaStringType is its name, which
makes some APIs more readable. Adding a type safe wrapper around it
serves no purpose since we're almost always immediately casting back
and forth from an 'id'. This was previously done with unsafeBitCast,
which should be avoided unless we really need to reinterpret a bit
pattern.
This reflects the fact that the attribute's only for compiler-internal use, and isn't really equivalent to C's asm attribute, since it doesn't change the calling convention to be C-compatible.
Getting the name of a type seems like reasonable core runtime functionality, and something the runtime can cache on its side too. Have the function return a pointer to a raw string in memory owned by the runtime, and have it be wrappen in a Swift.String on the standard library side.
We don't really need its peculiar behavior characteristics; its uses in the legacy mirror implementations can now be replaced by direct stringification of metatypes.
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.
Since `dropFirst` does not return an `Optional`,
`unsafeUnwrap(xs.dropFirst())` first implicitly wraps result of
`dropFirst` into an optional and then calls `unsafeUnwrap` on that.
All refutable patterns and function parameters marked with 'var'
is now an error.
- Using explicit 'let' keyword on function parameters causes a warning.
- Don't suggest making function parameters mutable
- Remove uses in the standard library
- Update tests

The basic idea is to move the allocation of the buffer out of @_semantics("array.uninitialized") so that it can be inlined without inlining the semantics function (on high-level SIL).
This change in the stdlib also requires an adaption of the dead area elimination in DeadObjectElimination.
Otherwise it would just remove the semantics function but not the allocation and we would leak memory.
