So the risk with that one is that if someone had say the -didSomething direct selector and that some UIKit/Apple SDK API now adds this as a thing that you use with CFNotification center for example, where you _need_ dynamism, then the uses of the API would warn all the time when the internal to the client project -didSomething is in scope.

@MadCoder Could there be a way to mark objc_direct methods as something like attribute((visibility("default"))) or __declspec(dllexport) to denote that a given method should be directly callable but still retain the metadata to be called through an objc_msgSend from an external dylib? Could that help to boost adoption?

damn you tabs!

@dexonsmith here, I still hook the same method but do it in a more LLVM-approved way ;)

Why isn't a similar dance needed for non-direct methods?

because non direct methods do not need an llvm::Function to be synthesized at the call-site. direct methods do, and they form one with the type of the declaration they see. Then that same llvm::Function is used when you CodeGen the Implementation, so if there's a mismatch, sadness ensues because the LLVM IR verifier will notice the discrepancy between the declared return type of the function and the actual types coming out of the ret codepaths.

Regular obj-C methods use the _implementation_ types for the codegen (the declaration(s) aren't even consulted) and I want to stick at what obj-c does as much as I can.

(as a data point: If you use obj-C types with C functions, the type of the first declaration seen is used instead).

Okay, that makes sense to me.

Another solution would be to change IRGen for the implementation: if the declaration already exists (getFunction), do a bitcast + RAUW dance to fix it up (and update the DirectMethodDefinitions table). WDYT?

I didn't want to do that because that would mean that the type used for the implementation would depart from dynamic Objective-C methods, and it feels that it shouldn't. hence I took this option.

I think we're talking across each other. The idea is check the type when generating the implementation; if it's not correct, you fix it (need to update existing uses to bitcast). So the type used for the implementation would match dynamic methods.

with the test for real

adding the non ARC test I forgot to add

fixed @ahatanak feedback

Added some more tests to make sure it works along inheritance chains as expected

Removed the category from the direct method name mangling as discussed with @aprantl

I had forgotten to clang format and left some tabs here... some day I'll fix my vim config

Addressed @aprantl review feedback.

Small update because I uploaded before the full completion of the test-suite and somehow it's sentient and punished me... (some diagnostics were too verbose and stuttering things with Sema::CheckObjCMethodOverrides).

No problem! I have a custom patch that isn't as nice but get the job done. Let me know when you put new diff out and I can test it on our codebase again.

It'd be nice if we didn't have to synthesize parameters for all declarations when we're just handling an @interface, but we can improve that in follow-ups.

@liuliu that fixes your test case (which I reproduced in the CG test)

We don't use PCH :) I arc patched the latest diff, still have that crash. More strangely, I tried this latest diff on previously simplistic test case and it crashes now:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface SCTestMainEntity : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, readonly, direct) int date;

- (instancetype)initWithDate:(int)date;

@end

int main(void)
{
    SCTestMainEntity *entity = [[SCTestMainEntity alloc] initWithDate:10];
    printf("%d\n", entity.date);
    return 0;
}

@liuliu I wouldn't be surprised this addresses your issues if snapchat is using PCH

woops a bogus hunk went in

It indeed won't crash any more in trivial examples. I need to have some other time to reduce my local example to a reasonable size.

just added all the context this time (-W)

oh hah, thanks :)

Fix the fact that the hashmap of direct method was indexed by Declarations instead of names (and depending on code ordering, the declaration used at codegen time may be the one from the @interface or from the @implementation leading to name collisions and llvm "helpfully" adding .1's everywhere

hmm wait I have an old problem I had fixed creep up again :'(
