  • Explanation: Compiler versions <= 6.0 allowed redundant conformances to marker protocols within the same module. To diagnose attempts to change the un-availability of a conformance to Sendable, [6.0][ConformanceLookup] Don't allow skipping inherited unavailable conformances in favor of explicit available ones. #75223 made a change to not allow superseding marker protocol conformances, which inadvertently broke cases where a redundant conformance to Copyable was written within a module.

    class C {}
    
    class C2: C, Copyable {} // error: redundant conformance to Copyable

    To avoid a source break, this change downgrades redundant conformances to marker protocols to warnings always. This code also isn't particularly harmful, because marker protocols don't have requirements, so there isn't the same risk of unexpected behavior as other redundant conformances. There's no particular need for this diagnostic to be an error.

  • Scope: Only impacts redundant conformances to marker protocols within the same module.

  • Issues: rdar://132346903

  • Original PRs: [Conformance] Always downgrade redundant conformances to marker protocols to a warning. #75425

  • Risk: Low; this change only opts more cases into the "downgrade to warning" path for redundant conformance diagnostics. Specifically, it replaces a check for Sendable to a check that the protocol is a marker protocol.

  • Testing: Added a new test case.

  • Reviewers: @DougGregor

…cols to

a warning.

Previous compiler versions allowed this, so we should stage the change in as
a warning. This was already a warning across modules, so this change only impacts
redundant conformances to marker protocols within a module. This code also isn't
particularly harmful, because marker protocols don't have requirements, so there
isn't the same risk of unexpected behavior as other redundant conformances.
