Checked casts are dependent on run-time queries; we should not attempt
to infer type variable bindings from them, because doing so produces
unreasonable bindings. Fixes rdar://problem/29894174.
Specialize and improve the "downcast only unwraps optionals"
diagnostic to provide specific diagnostics + Fix-Its for the various
casts of forced cast, conditional cast, and "isa" check. Specifically:
* With a forced cast, customize the diagnostic. We still insert the
appropriate number of !'s, but now we remove the 'as! T' (if an
implicit conversion would suffice) or replace the 'as!' with 'as'
(if we still need a bridge)
* With a conditional cast, only emit a diagnostic if we're removing
just one level of optional. In such cases, we either have a no-op
(an implicit conversion would do) or we could just use 'as' to the
optional type, so emit a customized warning to do that. If we are
removing more than one level of optional, don't complain:
conditional casts can remove optionals. Add the appropriate Fix-Its
here.
* With an 'is' expression, only emit a diagnostic if we're removing
just one level of optional. In this case, the 'is' check is
equivalent to '!= nil'. Add a Fix-It for that.
Across the board, reduce the error to a warning. These are
semantically-well-formed casts, it's just that they could be written
better.

- All parts of the compiler now use ‘P1 & P2’ syntax
- The demangler and AST printer wrap the composition in parens if it is
in a metatype lookup
- IRGen mangles compositions differently
- “protocol<>” is now “swift.Any”
- “protocol<_TP1P,_TP1Q>” is now “_TP1P&_TP1Q”
- Tests cases are updated and added to test the new syntax and mangling
This commit defines the ‘Any’ keyword, implements parsing for composing
types with an infix ‘&’, and provides a fixit to convert ‘protocol<>’
- Updated tests & stdlib for new composition syntax
- Provide errors when compositions used in inheritance.
Any is treated as a contextual keyword. The name ‘Any’
is used emit the empty composition type. We have to
stop user declaring top level types spelled ‘Any’ too.
along with recent policy changes:
- For expression types that are not specifically handled, make sure to
produce a general "unused value" warning, catching a bunch of unused
values in the testsuite.
- For unused operator results, diagnose them as uses of the operator
instead of "calls".
- For calls, mutter the type of the result for greater specificity.
- For initializers, mutter the type of the initialized value.
- Look through OpenExistentialExpr's so we can handle protocol member
references propertly.
- Look through several other expressions so we handle @discardableResult
better.
Now we can propagate contextual types through collection literals even when they are generic, producing
specific diagnostics for elements within them.
Swift SVN r31327
we process contextual constraints when producing diagnostic. Formerly,
we would aggressively drop contextual type information on the floor under
the idea that it would reduce constraints on the system and make it more
likely to be solvable. However, this also has the downside of introducing
ambiguity into the system, and some expr nodes (notably closures) cannot
usually be solved without that contextual information.
In the new model, expr diagnostics are expected to handle the fact that
contextual information may be present, and bail out without diagnosing an
error if that is the case. This gets us more information into closures,
allowing more specific return type information, e.g. in the case in
test/expr/closure/closures.swift.
This approach also produces more correct diagnostics in a bunch of other
cases as well, e.g.:
- var c = [:] // expected-error {{type '[_ : _]' does not conform to protocol 'DictionaryLiteralConvertible'}}
+ var c = [:] // expected-error {{expression type '[_ : _]' is ambiguous without more context}}
and the examples in test/stmt/foreach.swift, test/expr/cast/as_coerce.swift,
test/expr/cast/array_iteration.swift, etc.
That said, this another two steps forward, one back thing. Because we
don't handle propagating sametype constraints from results of calls to their
arguments, we regress a couple of (admittedly weird) cases. This is now
tracked by:
<rdar://problem/22333090> QoI: Propagate contextual information in a call to operands
There is also the one-off narrow case tracked by:
<rdar://problem/22333281> QoI: improve diagnostic when contextual type of closure disagrees with arguments
Swift SVN r31319
diagnoseGeneralConversionFailure() to handle them (instead of it handling as? but
special code handling as!).
As part of this, enhance things so we get error messages about both the problem,
and the overall type involved (when they're different) e.g.:
if let s = setD as? Set<BridgedToObjC> { }
error: 'ObjC' is not a subtype of 'DerivesObjC'
note: in cast from type 'Set<DerivesObjC>' to 'Set<BridgedToObjC>'
This also finally fixes the case in test/Generics/existential_restrictions.swift
Swift SVN r31299
specific when it fails, by printing a potentially partially resolved type for the
ambiguous expression in question, which it carries information. This can at least
tell what the ambiguous parts of the resultant type *are* in some cases (e.g. in
the Constraints/array_literal.swift case). That said, this diagnostic is still
admittedly not great.
This also exposes a couple of cases where we produce bogus diagnostics in general
(expr/cast/as_coerce.swift). The issue here is that these shouldn't be ambiguous
at all, they are being misreported due to 22320758), which I'll fix separately.
Swift SVN r31292
allowing these failures to hook into other diagnostic goodies (e.g. the
"did you mean to use '!' or '?'?" cases showing in the testsuite). That said,
by itself this doesn't have a huge impact, but avoids regressions with other
pending changes.
Swift SVN r31289
directly into the diagnostics subsystem. This ensures a more consistent
treatment of type printing (e.g. catches a case where a diagnostic didn't
single quote the type) and gives these diagnostics access to "aka".
Swift SVN r30609
- Have DiagnosticEngine produce "aka" annotations for sugared types.
- Fix the "optional type '@lvalue C?' cannot be used as a boolean; test for '!= nil' instead"
diagnostic to stop printing @lvalue noise.
This addresses:

Swift SVN r30587
includes a number of QoI things to help people write the correct code. I will commit
the testcase for it as the next patch.
The bulk of this patch is moving the stdlib, testsuite and validation testsuite to
the new syntax. I moved a few uses of "as" patterns back to as? expressions in the
stdlib as well.
Swift SVN r27959
This changes 'if let' conditions to take general refutable patterns, instead of
taking a irrefutable pattern and implicitly matching against an optional.
Where before you might have written:
if let x = foo() {
you now need to write:
if let x? = foo() {
The upshot of this is that you can write anything in an 'if let' that you can
write in a 'case let' in a switch statement, which is pretty general.
To aid with migration, this special cases certain really common patterns like
the above (and any other irrefutable cases, like "if let (a,b) = foo()", and
tells you where to insert the ?. It also special cases type annotations like
"if let x : AnyObject = " since they are no longer allowed.
For transitional purposes, I have intentionally downgraded the most common
diagnostic into a warning instead of an error. This means that you'll get:
t.swift:26:10: warning: condition requires a refutable pattern match; did you mean to match an optional?
if let a = f() {
^
?
I think this is important to stage in, because this is a pretty significant
source breaking change and not everyone internally may want to deal with it
at the same time. I filed 20166013 to remember to upgrade this to an error.
In addition to being a nice user feature, this is a nice cleanup of the guts
of the compiler, since it eliminates the "isConditional()" bit from
PatternBindingDecl, along with the special case logic in the compiler to handle
it (which variously added and removed Optional around these things).
Swift SVN r26150
Penalize solutions that involve 'as' -> 'as!' changes by recording a Fix
when simplifying the corresponding checked-cast constraint.
<rdar://problem/19724719> Type checker thinks "(optionalNSString ?? nonoptionalNSString) as String" is a forced cast
Swift SVN r25061
When generating constraints for an 'as' expression, consider the
possibility that the code is supposed to be 'as!' instead of 'as'. Emit
the appropriate fixit if that branch of the disjunction is chosen by the
constraint solver.
This is a more comprehensive fix for <rdar://problem/19499340> than the
one in r24815.
Swift SVN r24872
Previously, we attempted to infer @objc-ness based on conformance, but
doing so is fraught with ordering dependencies, and just doesn't work
in the general case. Among other crimes, this allowed us to
retroactively mark a non-@objc method from an imported module as
@objc... even though nobody would ever then emit the @objc entry
points for it.
Fixes the rest of rdar://problem/18383574.
Swift SVN r24831
Fix diagnostics for 'as' and 'as!' expressions by ensuring that the
conversion constraint used to generate them actually corresponds to the
expression in question. Add tests from 19495142.
Swift SVN r24547
Most tests were using %swift or similar substitutions, which did not
include the target triple and SDK. The driver was defaulting to the
host OS. Thus, we could not run the tests when the standard library was
not built for OS X.
Swift SVN r24504
Previously the "as" keyword could either represent coercion or or forced
downcasting. This change separates the two notions. "as" now only means
type conversion, while the new "as!" operator is used to perform forced
downcasting. If a program uses "as" where "as!" is called for, we emit a
diagnostic and fixit.
Internally, this change removes the UnresolvedCheckedCastExpr class, in
favor of directly instantiating CoerceExpr when parsing the "as"
operator, and ForcedCheckedCastExpr when parsing the "as!" operator.
Swift SVN r24253
A checked cast such as "x as String" or "x as? [String]", where x is of
class or Objective-C existential type, is now handled as a normal
checked cast rather than a Sema-generated call to the corresponding
witness. This eliminates a pile of hairy code from constraint
application and takes a step toward <rdar://problem/17408934>.
The part of the switch_objc.swift test I removed wasn't testing
anything useful; that's what <rdar://problem/17408934> is about.
Swift SVN r20970
Start capitalizing on some of the new diagnostic machinery in a few different ways:
- When mining constraints for type information, utilize constraints "favored" by the overload resolution process.
- When printing type variables, if the variable was created by opening a literal expression, utilize the literal
default type or conformance if possible.
- Utilize syntactic information when crafting diagnostics:
- If the constraint miner can produce a better diagnostic than the recorded failure, diagnose via constraints.
- Factor in the expression kind when choosing which types to include in a diagnostic message.
- Start customizing diagnostics based on the amount of type data available.
What does all this mean?
- Fewer type variables leaking into diagnostic messages.
- Far better diagnostics for overload resolution failures. Specifically, we now print proper argument type data
for failed function calls.
- No more "'Foo' is not convertible to 'Foo'" error messages
- A greater emphasis on type data means less dependence on the ordering of failed constraints. This means fewer
inscrutable diagnostics complaining about 'UInt8' when all the constituent expressions are of type Float.
So we still have a ways to go, but these changes should greatly improve the number of head-scratchers served up
by the type checker.

This only tackles the protocol case (<rdar://problem/17510790>); it
does not yet generalize to an arbitrary "class" requirement on either
existentials or generics.
