Now FE IR -> BE IR transformation is performed in multiple stages
controller by Fir2IrConverter. Stages are
* files & classes registration
* supertypes & type parameters handling
* functions & properties signature generation
* body generation
After each step we have guarantee (with exception of local classes &
type inference combination, and external symbols) that required symbols
(class/function/property/variable/type parameter)
are already bound to real declarations and have correct parents.
This commit also fixes incorrect parents for local classes
Currently FirThisReceiverExpression of instance methods are translated
to references of the class' thisReceiver,
not the method's dispatch receiver,
which causes problems with IrFrameMap::typeOf,
as the class' thisReceiver is not in the typeMap.
This commit translates non-qualified "this" references of
instance methods to references of the methods' dispatch receiver.
Before 1.4 tailrec function default arguments were evaluated
right-to-left instead of left-to-right. This is controlled
by a compile-time flag. This change adds support for the
right-to-left evaluation order when that flag is not set.
And String.length as well.
This is done for JVM interoperability: java.lang.CharSequence is an open class
and has a function 'length()' which should be implemented in subclasses
somehow.
A minor unexpected effect of this is that String.length() is now a compile-time
constant (it wasn't such as a property because properties are not supported in
compile-time constant evaluation)
