What's in this pull request?

Imported Cocoa error types are represented by structs wrapping an NSError. The conversion from these structs to Error would end up boxing the structs in _SwiftNativeNSError, losing identity and leading to a wrapping loop.

Instead, extract the embedded NSError if there is one. In the Swift runtime, do this as part of the dynamic cast to NSError, using a (new, defaulted) requirement in the Error type so we can avoid an extra runtime lookup of the protocol. In SILGEn, do this by looking for the _BridgedStoredNSError protocol conformance when erasing to an Error type.

Resolved bug number: (SR-1562)

  • Test pull request on Swift continuous integration.

Triggering Swift CI

The swift-ci is triggered by writing a comment on this PR addressed to the GitHub user @swift-ci. Different tests will run depending on the specific comment that you use. The currently available comments are:

Smoke Testing

Platform Comment
All supported platforms @swift-ci Please smoke test
All supported platforms @swift-ci Please smoke test and merge
OS X platform @swift-ci Please smoke test OS X platform
Linux platform @swift-ci Please smoke test Linux platform

A smoke test on macOS does the following:

  1. Builds the compiler incrementally.
  2. Builds the standard library only for macOS. Simulator standard libraries and
    device standard libraries are not built.
  3. lldb is not built.
  4. The test and validation-test targets are run only for macOS. The optimized
    version of these tests are not run.

A smoke test on Linux does the following:

  1. Builds the compiler incrementally.
  2. Builds the standard library incrementally.
  3. lldb is built incrementally.
  4. The swift test and validation-test targets are run. The optimized version of these
    tests are not run.
  5. lldb is tested.
