Background: Stack protection was added to the
main
branch a few months ago and has not yet been in any shipping version of Swift.We expect stack checks to impair performance somewhat, but we've recently found some cases where the stack checks were being inserted in places where they don't actually do any good. These led to unnecessary performance regressions, so we're disabling them in the 5.8 branch.
We'll leave it enabled in
main
while we work to avoid the extra unnecessary stack checks.Resolves rdar://105231457
