These functions are usually lowered away, but can remain if SIL optimizations run but not llvm optimizations.
This is only a workaround. I hope that I can remove the functions soon when we have a better support for buffers in SIL.
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.
Move the ObjC internal declarations to a public runtime header so they can be shared, and rename _swift_deallocClassInstance to the more descriptive name swift_rootObjCDealloc (and make it only available with ObjC interop).
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 swift_unknown* entry points are not available on the Linux port.
Previously we would still attempt to use them in a couple of cases:
1) Foreign classes
2) Existentials and archetypes
3) Optionals of boxed existentials
Note that this patch changes IRGen to never emit the
swift_errorRelease/Retain entry points on Linux. We would like to
use them in the future if we ever adopt a tagged-pointer representation
for small errors. In this case, they can be brought back, and the
TypeInfo for optionals will need to be generalized to propagate the
reference counting of the payload type, instead of defaulting to
unknown if the payload type is not natively reference counted.
A similar change will need to be made to support blocks, if we ever
want to use the blocks runtime on Linux.
Fixes <rdar://problem/23335318>, <rdar://problem/23335537>,
<rdar://problem/23335453>.
This will let us eventually do tagged pointer optimization for small error values. We don't take advantage of this in IRGen yet, but we can take advantage of it in the dynamic cast code in a few places, so it gets exercised, and doing this now will let us backward-deploy the optimization when we do implement it in the future.
We now have dedicated tags for Swift on Apple operating systems. They are called: VM_MEMORY_SWIFT_RUNTIME and VM_MEMORY_SWIFT_METADATA.
Let's make use of them. This would allow tools like Instruments provide a more detailed analysis and statistics.
For now, we only tag the metadata allocations, as this is the only place where we use mmap at the moment.

'Ss' appears in manglings tens of thousands of times in the standard library and is also incredibly frequent in other modules. This alone is enough to shrink the standard library by 59KB.

some of the ARC entry points. rdar://22724641. After this commit,
swift_retain_noresult will be completely replaced by swift_retain.
LLVMARCOpts pass is modified NOT to rewrite swift_retain to
swift_retain_noresult which forward no reference.
Swift SVN r32082
After this commit, swift_retain will return no reference and LLVMARCContract pass is modified NOT to rewrite
swift_retain_noresult to old swift_retain which forwarded the reference.

to remove reference forwarding for some of the ARC entry points. rdar://22724641. After this
commit, swift_retain_noresult will be completely replaced by swift_retain and LLVMARCOpts.cpp
will no longer canonicalize swift_retain to swift_retain_noresult as now swift_retain returns no
reference.
Swift SVN r32058
to remove reference forwarding for some of the ARC entry points. rdar://22724641. After this
commit, swift_retain will be the same as swift_retain_noresult, returning no reference.
LLVMARCContract pass is also modified NOT to rewrite swift_retain_noresult to the
old swift_retain which forwards the reference.
