The type `type` is now a `FacetType` inst with no constraints. This
brings the model implemented in the toolchain into better alignment with
the language design. The `SemIR::TypeType` struct remains as a scope for
holding the `TypeInstId`, `ConstantId`, and `TypeId` constants, but is
not an `InstKind` anymore.
The `TypeType` inst looks a lot like singletons, but there are many
`FacetType` insts so it doesn't quite fit that model. So we put it
alongside singletons with a fixed inst id but refer to it as a more
general "builtin" inst that is not a singleton.
`Namespace::PackageInstId` is similar, and we group it with `TypeType`
conceptually as another builtin instruction with a fixed id.
No conversion is needed anymore to use a `type` as a facet, since types
also have a `FacetType` type. This simplifies and removes a number of
helpers and branches throughout the code.
The `TypeType` inst is now part of the constant store, so we end up
printing it in the constants block in every test. But it's also named
`type` rather than `%type` to preserve the majority of existing
formatting behaviour, though this does look different from other
constants.
Assisted-by: Opus 5 was used to generate a first draft and validate the
refactoring. Though nearly everything non-trivial the tool wrote has
been modified or rewritten.
Per #7737 we move the default value `InstId` storage from
a block in the `SemIR::Function` data structure to a
`SemIR::File` scoped `ValueStore`.
Moves the default value consistency checking to the general
merge argument pattern matching logic, which changes the
error message issued to the generic one.
Per feedback on #7665, this PR switches the default value
table storage from canonical constant inst_ids to
non-canonical.
Furthermore, this PR simplifies the default value support in
check by requiring that the first owned declaration of a
function completely specify all of its default values.
Updates the diagnostic code and tests to reflect this new
stricter requirement.
Updates the pattern matching code to support unspecified default values.
Adds logic to decl and def merge code to diagnose mismatches in defaults
if specified in both places, or if let entirely unspecified.
Per https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7521.
Adds a virtual node to `DefaultValuePattern` to end the
`ExprRegionForPattern` before checking the expression
for the default value.
When checking the default value expression, the context
was still configured to interpret expressions as patterns,
which caused some corruption of state with tuple-pattern
subpatterns.
Corrects an assertion failure I found while working on
feedback from #7665.
Adds check functionality to transform the parse node to SemIR. Only
supported for single declarations of functions, re-declaration and
imports to come in a subsequent PR.
Per #7521.
