Resolves #84644

Problem:
When a class and its subclass have no explicit initializers, the compiler would emit:

Main actor-isolated initializer 'init()' has different actor isolation from nonisolated overridden declaration 

This occurs under Swift 6.2 with default @MainActor isolation enabled. The synthesized default initializer for the superclass was not inheriting the class’s default actor isolation, causing a mismatch when a subclass implicitly overrides it.

Solution:
Ensure that synthesized default initializers inherit the class’s default actor isolation:

if (auto isolation = decl->getDefaultActorIsolation()) { ctor->setActorIsolation(isolation); }

This guarantees compatibility between synthesized initializer of superclass and any of its subclass, even if neither declares an explicit init().

Regression Test:
Added test/concurrency/default_actor_isolation_initializer.swift:

// RUN: %target-typecheck-verify-swift -enable-upcoming-feature GlobalActorIsMainActor -enable-upcoming-feature RegionBasedIsolation // expected-no-diagnostics @MainActor class Thing {} class SubThing: Thing {}

The test confirms that classes without explicit initializers now compile correctly when default actor isolation is applied.

Impact:

  • Fixes the compiler crash/error for subclasses of @MainActor classes with implicit initializers.
  • Adds a regression test to prevent future regressions.
  • Minimal change in CodeSynthesis.cpp.

Hello @xedin if you get a chance, could you help trigger CI? Thank you!

Sure, I will take a look in a bit and trigger CI if everything looks good. Thank you!

Since the main-actor mode is on by default, this annotation is not needed.

We don't have GlobalActorIsMainActor, it's actually spelled as -default-isolation MainActor, also I don't think you need RegionBasedIsolation here either.

We need to check SILGen output to make sure that initializers are isolated correctly, both initializers should be marked as MainActor in the output. I think you can move this to test/Concurrency/assume_mainactor.swift and add the checks there (it already checks for deinit).

ImplicitConstructorKind::DefaultDistributedActor :
ImplicitConstructorKind::Default;
if (auto ctor = createImplicitConstructor(decl, ctorKind, ctx)) {
if (auto isolation = decl->getDefaultActorIsolation()) {

I don't think there is a getDefaultActorIsolation method also I don't think we want a "default" here we want to match isolation of the type, that's the isolation we need to get.
