In practice, this interferes with FastISel and has exposed lots of latent LLVM backend bugs. Using "normal" power-of-two-bytes sized integers is easier to work with and improves code gen performance for nonoptimizing clients like Swift Playgrounds.
Rather than having Sema provide a default implementation of
Error._code when needed, introduce a runtime function to extract the
default code, so that we can provide a default implementation via a
protocol extension in the standard library.
Rather than synthesizing a global operator '==' for Equatable enums,
synthesize a member operator, which is more idiomatic and much
cleaner.
To make sure that these synthesized operators can actually be found,
start considering operator requirements in protocols
more generally in the type checker, so that, e.g., "myEnum == myEnum"
will type-check against Equatable.== and, on successful type-check,
will call the (newly-synthesized) witness for '=='. This both makes it
easier to make sure we find the operators in, e.g., complex multi-file
and lazy-type checking scenarios, and is a step toward the
type-checking improvements described in SE-0091.
Allow 'static' (or, in classes, final 'class') operators to be
declared within types and extensions thereof. Within protocols,
require operators to be marked 'static'. Use a warning with a Fix-It
to stage this in, so we don't break the world's code.
Protocol conformance checking already seems to work, so add some tests
for that. Update a pile of tests and the standard library to include
the required 'static' keywords.
There is an amusing name-mangling change here. Global operators were
getting marked as 'static' (for silly reasons), so their mangled names
had the 'Z' modifier for static methods, even though this doesn't make
sense. Now, operators within types and extensions need to be 'static'
as written.
