Under certain conditions clang currently fails to properly diagnostic ObjectC
parameter list when type args and protocols are mixed in the same list. This
happens when the first item in the parameter list is a (1) protocol, (2)
unknown type or (3) a list of protocols/unknown types up to the first type
argument. Fix the problem to report the proper error, example:
NSArray<M, NSValue *, NSURL, NSArray <id <M>>> *foo = @[@"a"];
NSNumber *bar = foo[0];
NSLog(@"%@", bar);
$ clang ...
x.m:7:13: error: angle brackets contain both a type ('NSValue') and a protocol ('M')
NSArray<M, NSValue *, NSURL, NSArray <id <M>>> *foo = @[@"a"];

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.

Teach C++'s tentative parsing to handle specializations of Objective-C
class types (e.g., NSArray<NSString *>) as well as Objective-C
protocol qualifiers (id<NSCopying>) by extending type-annotation
tokens to handle this case. As part of this, remove Objective-C
protocol qualifiers from the declaration specifiers, which never
really made sense: instead, provide Sema entry points to make them
part of the type annotation token. Among other things, this properly
diagnoses bogus types such as "<NSCopying> id" which should have been
written as "id <NSCopying>".
Implements template instantiation support for, e.g., NSArray<T>*
in C++. Note that parameterized classes are not templates in the C++
sense, so that cannot (for example) be used as a template argument for
a template template parameter. Part of rdar://problem/6294649.

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 *).

Objective-C type arguments can be provided in angle brackets following
an Objective-C interface type. Syntactically, this is the same
position as one would provide protocol qualifiers (e.g.,
id<NSCopying>), so parse both together and let Sema sort out the
ambiguous cases. This applies both when parsing types and when parsing
the superclass of an Objective-C class, which can now be a specialized
type (e.g., NSMutableArray<T> inherits from NSArray<T>).
Check Objective-C type arguments against the type parameters of the
corresponding class. Verify the length of the type argument list and
that each type argument satisfies the corresponding bound.
Specializations of parameterized Objective-C classes are represented
in the type system as distinct types. Both specialized types (e.g.,
NSArray<NSString *> *) and unspecialized types (NSArray *) are
represented, separately.
llvm-svn: 241542
Produce type parameter declarations for Objective-C type parameters,
and attach lists of type parameters to Objective-C classes,
categories, forward declarations, and extensions as
appropriate. Perform semantic analysis of type bounds for type
parameters, both in isolation and across classes/categories/extensions
to ensure consistency.
Also handle (de-)serialization of Objective-C type parameter lists,
along with sundry other things one must do to add a new declaration to
Clang.
Note that Objective-C type parameters are typedef name declarations,
like typedefs and C++11 type aliases, in support of type erasure.
