This allows Kotlin compiler to be compatible only with the version of runtime
it was built against. This is currently done only on the first cycle of our
bootstrap process (the final released compiler is still supposed to work
against a separately shipped runtime)
Don't store binary data in the repository anymore. From now on any test on the
compiler requires that 'ant dist' was executed at least once since the last
update of the built-ins
'builtins' will be used for platform-independent core built-in definitions,
'runtime.jvm' for things that should be present at runtime in order for Kotlin
code to execute correctly on JVM
ProgressionUtil goes to 'builtins' right now because progression iterators
depend on it, but should be rewritten to Kotlin later
BuiltInsSerializer will be distributed with Kotlin compiler from now on. This
will allow to serialize binary data of built-ins on 'ant dist', as opposed to
storing all *.kotlin_class files in the repository: ant dist will just invoke
this serializer from bootstrap-compiler.jar
Cleanup module dependencies: a lot of modules depended on 'frontend.java' just
to use something from 'util' module, exported by 'frontend.java', whereas they
really need nothing from 'frontend.java'. Also 'frontend.java' just exported
'util', not using anything from it.
Create a new 'util.runtime' module, which will be available at runtime. Make
'util' export 'util.runtime' and make all modules who needed these utils depend
on 'util' directly instead of 'frontend.java'
Make 'Callable' message of descriptors.proto extensible, extend it in
java_descriptors.proto with a JVM signature of the member. This is needed in
order for annotation deserializer to find out which member in the compiled
bytecode corresponds to which descriptor in the hierarchy.
Create a new module 'serialization.java' containing everything related to
Java-specific serialization of descriptors.
Add an extension point to DescriptorSerializer, allowing to perform
platform-specific serialization on a callable
