The real work is done in
checkDynamicCastFromOptional
. This code tried to unwrap the source and returned the payload on success. It only did this once, so a type likeOptional<Optional<Int>>
would come out asOptional<Int>
and then a cast to Int would fail.This change makes
checkDynamicCastFromOptional
recursive, which makes it unwrap as many levels ofOptional
as it encounters.Fixes rdar://problem/40171034 and SR-7664.
