Add SelectorInfo (similar in spirit to IdentifierInfo). The key difference is SelectorInfo is not string-oriented, it is a unique aggregate of IdentifierInfo's (using a folding set). SelectorInfo also has a richer API that simplifies the parser/action interface. 3 noteworthy benefits:
#1: It is cleaner. I never "liked" storing keyword selectors (i.e. foo:bar:baz) in the IdentifierTable.
#2: It is more space efficient. Since Cocoa keyword selectors can be quite long, this technique is space saving. For Cocoa.h, pulling the keyword selectors out saves ~180k. The cost of the SelectorInfo data is ~100k. Saves ~80k, or 43%.
#3: It results in many API simplifications. Here are some highlights:
- Removed 3 actions (ActOnKeywordMessage, ActOnUnaryMessage, & one flavor of ObjcBuildMethodDeclaration that was specific to unary messages).
- Removed 3 funky structs from DeclSpec.h (ObjcKeywordMessage, ObjcKeywordDecl, and ObjcKeywordInfo).
- Removed 2 ivars and 2 constructors from ObjCMessageExpr (fyi, this space savings has not been measured).
I am happy with the way it turned out (though it took a bit more hacking than I expected). Given the central role of selectors in ObjC, making sure this is "right" will pay dividends later.
Thanks to Chris for talking this through with me and suggesting this approach.
