Paul Berry 0d636e5543 Ensure that partial inference results aren't refined by later partial inference stages.
As part of the implementation of
https://github.com/dart-lang/language/issues/731 (improved inference
for fold etc.), I expanded the front end's type inference logic so
that instead of just having a downward phase and an upward phase, it
could have 3 or more phases.  The function that previously did
downward inference became repurposed to do "partial inference" (which
could either be the first, downward stage, or a later, horizontal
stage).  However, I failed to generalize the logic that prevents types
assigned by one inference stage from being refined by later
stages--previously this logic was only needed for upward inference,
but now it's needed for horizontal inference stages as well.  (This
logic is needed because of Dart's "runtime checked covariance"
behavior--it means that we want to stick with the type from downward
inference, even if a later horizontal inference stage is able to find
a more precise type, because that more precise type may lead to
runtime failures).

As part of this change I've re-architected the inference methods so
that they are responsible for creating and returning the list of
inferred types.  This makes the inference logic more similar between
the front end and analyzer, and is easier to read IMHO.  The total
number of list allocations is the same as before.

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app.

  • Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
