Before merging this pull request to apple/swift repository:

  • Test pull request on Swift continuous integration.

Triggering Swift CI

The swift-ci is triggered by writing a comment on this PR addressed to the GitHub user @swift-ci. Different tests will run depending on the specific comment that you use. The currently available comments are:

Smoke Testing

Platform Comment
All supported platforms @swift-ci Please smoke test
All supported platforms @swift-ci Please smoke test and merge
OS X platform @swift-ci Please smoke test OS X platform
Linux platform @swift-ci Please smoke test Linux platform

A smoke test on macOS does the following:

  1. Builds the compiler incrementally.
  2. Builds the standard library only for macOS. Simulator standard libraries and
    device standard libraries are not built.
  3. lldb is not built.
  4. The test and validation-test targets are run only for macOS. The optimized
    version of these tests are not run.

A smoke test on Linux does the following:

  1. Builds the compiler incrementally.
  2. Builds the standard library incrementally.
  3. lldb is build incrementally.
  4. The swift test and validation-test targets are run. The optimized version of these
    tests are not run.
  5. lldb is tested.

Validation Testing

My earlier patch started serializing SIL basic blocks using the RPOT order. While it works, changing the existing order of BBs during the serialization may be very surprising for users. After all, serialization is not supposed to transform the code.

Therefore, this patch follows a different approach. It uses the existing order of BBs during the serialization. When it deserializes/parses SIL and detects a use of an opened archetype before its definition, it basically introduced a forward definition of this opened archetype. Later on, when the actual definition of the opened archetype is found, it replaces the forward definition. There is a correctness check at the end of a SIL function deserialization, which verifies that there are no forward definitions of opened archetypes left unresolved.

Linux failure is unrelated and seems to be addressed by #3627. OS X failure is also unrelated.
