Thanks to @DougGregor's PR #80225, abstract conformances now store their conforming type. This means we no longer have to pass it around separately in various places that operate on ProtocolConformanceRef.

Now, ProtocolConformanceRef and ProtocolConformance expose the same fundamental set of operations:

  • getType()
  • getProtocol()
  • subst(SubstitutionMap)
  • getTypeWitness(AssociatedTypeDecl *)
  • getAssociatedConformance(CanType, ProtocolDecl *)

The ProtocolConformanceRef variants of the last three used to also take an origType parameter, which was supposed to be the conforming type of the abstract conformance. This made them difficult and error-prone to use. All of this book-keeping is now gone.

We implement getIdentitySubstitutionMap() by passing in
a no-op substitution callback. Remove the unnecessary
getCanonicalType() call, to ensure that the abstract
conformance in the identity substitution map uses the
sugared form of the subject type.
