A couple of attributes had explicit checks for incompatibility
with pointer types. However, this is already handled generically
by the typeIncompatible() check. We can drop these after adding
SwiftError to typeIncompatible().
However, the previous implementation of the check prints out all
attributes that are incompatible with a given type, even though
those attributes aren't actually used. This has the annoying
result that the error message changes every time a new attribute
is added to the list. Improve this by explicitly finding which
attribute isn't compatible and printing just that.
MSVC always places the implicit sret parameter after the implicit this
parameter of instance methods. We used to handle this for
x86_thiscallcc by allocating the sret parameter on the stack and leaving
the this pointer in ecx, but that doesn't handle alternative calling
conventions like cdecl, stdcall, fastcall, or the win64 convention.
Instead, change the verifier to allow sret on the second parameter.
This also requires changing the Mips and X86 backends to return the
argument with the sret parameter, instead of assuming that the sret
parameter comes first.
The Sparc backend also returns sret parameters in a register, but I
wasn't able to update it to handle secondary sret parameters. It
currently calls report_fatal_error if you feed it an sret in the second
parameter.
