Cherry-pick of #65464
• Release: Swift 5.9
• Explanation: The intended design is to extract actual types of type values appearing in conformance properties, whereas the original extraction code-path queried and recorded the type values' types - their metatypes.
• Scope of Issue: Compile-time extraction code produces meta type information instead of type information, encoding extraneous
.Type
type names andm
-postfix mangled names• Origination: Original implementation incorrectly queried the type value type instead of instance type.
• Automated Testing: Test suite tests updated to reflect the new, and desired, behavior.
• Risk: Minimal, small change to const-extraction code path to look through to the instance type of a
.self
expression when one is used to default-initialize a property on a conformance to the queried protocols.Resolves rdar://108609420
