Description: The way type metadata is obtained in
swift_func_getReturnTypeInfo
may result in partial metadata be returned, which can result in a zero size buffer allocation, which then is going to be too small to fit a write of the result data, leading to a crash if this partial metadata was returned. This patch corrects how we obtain the metadata so we always get complete information.Scope/Impact: Very rarely an incomplete metadata may have been obtained from
swift_func_getReturnTypeInfo
causing a crash as the result would then not fit the allocated result buffer.Risk: Low, the fix is local to distributed returns and definitely correct (same as some other method nearby)
Testing: Reproduced exact issue in new test, tracked down root cause with logging in applications
