As proposed in [Carbon: C++ interop for overloaded functions and
function
templates](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KUxumZtNe3mY3TsjW2s_ZADOlAaFlrtsLKHVILtqIaM/edit?tab=t.0),
Clang is used to perform the overload resolution using C++ rules, when
an overloaded C++ set is called from Carbon. Once a function is
selected, it's converted into a Carbon function and called using the
Carbon rules including argument conversions.
A single non-templated function is treated the same way as an overload
set and the same rules apply for its call.
Template functions are not supported yet.
Demo:
a) Non-templated function calls:
```c++
// --- overloads.h
auto foo(int a, short b) -> void;
auto foo(double a) -> void;
auto foo(int a) -> void;
```
```c++
// overloads.cpp
#include "overloads.h"
#include <cstdio>
auto foo(int a, short b) -> void {
printf("hello from foo_int_short(%d, %d) \n", a, b);
}
auto foo(double a) -> void { printf("hello from foo_double(%f) \n", a); }
auto foo(int a) -> void { printf("hello from foo_int(%d) \n", a); }
```
```c++
library "Main";
import Cpp library "overloads.h";
fn Run() -> i32 {
Cpp.foo(1.1 as f64);
return 0;
}
```
```
$ clang -c overloads.cpp
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon compile main.carbon
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon link overloads.o main.o --output=demo
$ ./demo
hello from foo_double(1.100000)
```
b) Constructors:
```c++
// --- constructor_overloads.h
class C {
public:
C();
C(int a, int b);
};
```
```c++
// constructor_overloads.cpp
#include "constructor_overloads.h"
#include <cstdio>
C::C() { printf("hello from C() \n"); }
C::C(int a, int b) { printf("hello from C(%d, %d) \n", a, b); }
```
```c++
library "Main";
import Cpp library "constructor_overloads.h";
fn Run() -> i32 {
let c1: Cpp.C = Cpp.C.C();
let c2: Cpp.C = Cpp.C.C(1, 2);
return 0;
}
```
```
$ clang -c constructor_overloads.cpp
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon compile main.carbon
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon link constructor_overloads.o main.o \--output=demo
$ ./demo
hello from C()
hello from C(1, 2)
```
Follow-ups:
- `Cpp.foo({})` - proper handling of struct literals as call args.
- Fix access for overloaded sets.
- Fix tests:
- Method calls: `error: missing object argument in method call
[MissingObjectInMethodCall]` in tests.
- Fix `toolchain/check/testdata/interop/cpp/import.carbon` test.
- Fix `enums` support.
- Fix `str` -> `std::string_view` mapping.
Part of #5915
Create a `self` parameter when importing a C++ non-static member
function. That seems to be all we need to get basic method calls
working! For now, `const` methods have by-value self parameters, and
non-`const` methods get an `addr self: Self*` parameter.
The none.carbon min-prelude is not just an empty prelude, it also
prevents any prelude from being imported at all. So no import machinery
runs before the test, only the `package` statement from the prelude
would run.
Use the none.carbon min-prelude in a few tests that were specifying
`--no-prelude-import` to give it a trial run.

All except
`toolchain/check/testdata/interop/cpp/function_param_int*.carbon` and
`toolchain/check/testdata/interop/cpp/function_return.carbon`.
Don't output SemIR for cases that are intended to fail.
This mirrors how imports work in general, that the imported declarations
shouldn't belong to the first referencing scope (particularly apparent
when referenced across multiple scopes). I think this was just an
oversight here.
People seemed receptive [on
#toolchain](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/655578254970716160/1379196447827689553),
so proceeding.
For the two name conflicts, I've set it up so that there's a
"foo.carbon" and "foo_with_prelude.carbon", to indicate that the
no-prelude approach is preferred (with a shorter name).
Note min_prelude will require a little more work/thought, I want to
avoid adding `--custom-core` etc.
