* Implement variance for Objective-C type parameters.Douglas Gregor2015-07-071-0/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce co- and contra-variance for Objective-C type parameters, which allows us to express that (for example) an NSArray is covariant in its type parameter. This means that NSArray<NSMutableString *> * is a subtype of NSArray<NSString *> *, which is expected of the immutable Foundation collections. Type parameters can be annotated with __covariant or __contravariant to make them co- or contra-variant, respectively. This feature can be detected by __has_feature(objc_generics_variance). Implements rdar://problem/20217490. llvm-svn: 241549
* Implement the Objective-C __kindof type qualifier.Douglas Gregor2015-07-071-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | The __kindof type qualifier can be applied to Objective-C object (pointer) types to indicate id-like behavior, which includes implicit "downcasting" of __kindof types to subclasses and id-like message-send behavior. __kindof types provide better type bounds for substitutions into unspecified generic types, which preserves more type information. llvm-svn: 241548
* Warn when an intended Objective-C specialization was actually a useless ↵Douglas Gregor2015-07-071-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | protocol qualification. Warn in cases where one has provided redundant protocol qualification that might be a typo for a specialization, e.g., NSArray<NSObject>, which is pointless (NSArray declares that it conforms to NSObject) and is likely to be a typo for NSArray<NSObject *>, i.e., an array of NSObject pointers. This warning is very narrow, only applying when the base type being qualified is parameterized, has the same number of parameters as their are protocols listed, all of the names can also refer to types (including Objective-C class types, of course), and at least one of those types is an Objective-C class (making this a typo for a missing '*'). The limitations are partly for performance reasons (we don't want to do redundant name lookup unless we really need to), and because we want the warning to apply in very limited cases to limit false positives.

* Improve the Objective-C common-type computation used by the ternary operator.Douglas Gregor2015-07-071-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Objective-C common-type computation had a few problems that required a significant rework, including: - Quadradic behavior when finding the common base type; now it's linear. - Keeping around type arguments when computing the common type between a specialized and an unspecialized type - Introducing redundant protocol qualifiers. Part of rdar://problem/6294649. Also fixes rdar://problem/19572837 by addressing a longstanding bug in ASTContext::CollectInheritedProtocols(). llvm-svn: 241544
* Substitute type arguments into uses of Objective-C interface members.Douglas Gregor2015-07-071-0/+372
When messaging a method that was defined in an Objective-C class (or category or extension thereof) that has type parameters, substitute the type arguments for those type parameters. Similarly, substitute into property accesses, instance variables, and other references. This includes general infrastructure for substituting the type arguments associated with an ObjCObject(Pointer)Type into a type referenced within a particular context, handling all of the substitutions required to deal with (e.g.) inheritance involving parameterized classes. In cases where no type arguments are available (e.g., because we're messaging via some unspecialized type, id, etc.), we substitute in the type bounds for the type parameters instead. Example: @interface NSSet<T : id<NSCopying>> : NSObject <NSCopying> - (T)firstObject; @end void f(NSSet<NSString *> *stringSet, NSSet *anySet) { [stringSet firstObject]; // produces NSString* [anySet firstObject]; // produces id<NSCopying> (the bound) } When substituting for the type parameters given an unspecialized context (i.e., no specific type arguments were given), substituting the type bounds unconditionally produces type signatures that are too strong compared to the pre-generics signatures. Instead, use the following rule: - In covariant positions, such as method return types, replace type parameters with “id” or “Class” (the latter only when the type parameter bound is “Class” or qualified class, e.g, “Class<NSCopying>”) - In other positions (e.g., parameter types), replace type parameters with their type bounds. - When a specialized Objective-C object or object pointer type contains a type parameter in its type arguments (e.g., NSArray<T>*, but not NSArray<NSString *> *), replace the entire object/object pointer type with its unspecialized version (e.g., NSArray *). llvm-svn: 241543
