In a `class C(T:! type)`, the type `Self` should be `C(T)`, not merely
`C`. Similarly, in an `interface I(T:! type)`, the type of self should
be `I(T)`, not merely `I`.
When constant evaluation produces a known non-symbolic value, treat the
result as a symbolic constant anyway if the type of the value is
symbolic.
We don't yet have many ways to produce a constant that has a known value
but a symbolic type. The added test case is one such way: an array `[T;
0]` initialized from `()` is a symbolic constant only because its type
is symbolic -- we know its value is always `()`. More ways to form such
constants will be appearing soon as we start to support generics: for
example, a method of a generic class has a symbolic type but a known
constant value of `{}`.
When substituting into a symbolic constant, also substitute into its
type.
Require mapping from a `ConstantId` to an `InstId` to go through the
`ConstantValueStore`.
This is a preparatory step for an upcoming generics change where
symbolic `ConstantId`s are no longer just a thin wrapper around an
`InstId` but instead are indexes into a table with additional
information about the symbolic constant beyond its `InstId`.
Switch from recursing into non-canonical instruction fields to
separately canonicalizing those fields. This means we now form canonical
`InstBlockId`s, `TypeBlockId`s, `IntId`s, `FloatId`s, and `BindNameId`s
at least in the cases when they're referenced by a constant instruction.
This reduces the overall runtime for @chandlerc's 10MLoC example by
27.5% on my machine.
Use a level comparison during substitution to determine whether we're
substituting a particular binding. Evaluate symbolic bindings with the
same name and the same level to the same symbolic constant, for example
across redeclarations of a generic function.
Add a general substitution mechanism to support substituting symbolic
bindings with their values throughout symbolic constants and, more
specifically, types. This is done by decomposing the constant
instruction into its operands, substituting into the operands, and then
rebuilding the constant value by invoking the constant evaluator.
