Motivation
We have reverted the typed HTTP protocol upgrader pieces since adopters were running into a compiler bug (swiftlang/swift#69459) that caused the compiler to emit strong references to
swift_getExtendedExistentialTypeMetadata
. The problem is thatswift_getExtendedExistentialTypeMetadata
is not available on older runtimes before constrained existentials have been introduced. This caused adopters to run into runtime crashes when loading any library compiled with this NIO code.Modifications
This PR reverts the revert and guard all new code in a compiler guard that checks that we are either on non-Darwin platforms or on a new enough Swift compiler that contains the fix.
Result
We can offer the typed HTTP upgrade code to our adopters again.
