Instead of generating overrides for getOwner/getName/getSignature in
each anonymous class representing a callable reference, pass them to the
superclass' constructor and store as fields. This occupies some small
memory but helps to reduce the size of the generated class files, and
will be helpful for adding further runtime information to callable
references, such as information about implicit conversions this
reference has been subject to.
Represent owner as java.lang.Class + boolean instead of
KDeclarationContainer, so that the unnecessary wrapping Class->KClass
wouldn't happen before it's needed, and also to make sure all callable
references remain serializable.
Note that the argument type where the "is declaration container a class"
is passed is int instead of boolean. The plan is to pass the
aforementioned implicit conversion information as bits of this same
integer value.
#KT-27362 Fixed
Instead of non-existing `kotlin.KotlinPackage`, which led to
NoClassDefFoundError as soon as reflection tried to call getOwner on a
builtin callable reference, use a reference to a new physical class
`kotlin.jvm.internal.Intrinsics$Kotlin`. This will allow to support
KT-17151.
Note that for API version less than 1.4, this will still lead to
NoClassDefFoundError, but this is not worse than the current situation
where it happens anyway.
There is one failing test namely `ValByMapExtensionsTest.doTest`, which
is quite questionable because its checks the use of out projection and
Exact annotation (see KT-18789)
From now on, the old JVM backend will report an error by default when
compiling against class files produced by the JVM IR backend. This is
needed because we're not yet sure that the ABI generated by JVM IR is
fully correct and do not want to land in a 2-dimensional compatibility
situation where we'll need to consider twice more scenarios when
introducing any breaking change in the language. This is generally OK
since the JVM IR backend is still going to be experimental in 1.4.
However, for purposes of users which _do_ need to compile something with
the old backend against JVM IR, we provide two new compiler flags:
* -Xallow-jvm-ir-dependencies -- allows to suppress the error when
compiling with the old backend against JVM IR.
* -Xir-binary-with-stable-api -- allows to mark the generated binaries
as stable, when compiling anything with JVM IR, so that dependent
modules will compile even with the old backend automatically. In this
case, the author usually does not care for the generated ABI, or s/he
ensures that it's consistent with the one expected by the old compiler
with some external tools.
Internally, this is implemented by storing two new flags in
kotlin.Metadata: one tells if the class file was compiled with the JVM
IR, and another tells if the class file is stable (in case it's compiled
with JVM IR). Implementation is similar to the diagnostic reported by
the pre-release dependency checker.
* It enables subtyping relationship for keys and elements, allowing type-safe and concise manipulations on the context when complex hierarchies of elements (e.g. implementors of ContinuationInterceptor) are present
* It unblocks possibility to implement suspendCancellableCoroutine in stdlib
* Implementing proper polymorphic get and minusKey in AbstractCoroutineContextElement is impossible because it will introduce source-incompatible change
* ContinuationInterceptor get and minusKey are adjusted in a completely backwards-compatible way
