Jon Ross-Perkins 74969cab04 Generate non-final Destroy witnesses for symbolics (#6731)
This is related to #6727, but is generally a necessary fix even without
that issue. I'm not adding a specific test of #6727 because it should
also be covered by the tests in #6726.

Geoff RomerandRichard Smith e5b05a1fac ExprCategory for guaranteed-in-place initializing expressions (#6623)
The primary change in this PR is to split the `Initializing` expression
category into separate `ReprInitializing` and `InPlaceInitializing`
categories, depending on whether initialization uses the types
initializing representation, or is guaranteed to be in place. It also
rationalizes and documents the SemIR-level semantics of those categories
(including where #5545's "ephemeral entire reference" category will
fit), and introduces two new inst kinds to close gaps exposed in the
process.

Some additional secondary changes:
- Consistently format the storage arguments of initializers with `to`,
regardless of whether initialization is in-place, and document the `to`
notation.
- Rename some inst kinds and functions, and restructure some of the
code, for clarity and consistency with the new documentation.
- Resolve a TODO to handle more category conversions in
`CategoryConverter`, in order to make it easier to reason about category
conversions.

See #6588 and the review history of this PR for background.

Richard Smith c0b24047dd Interop support for initialization via std::initializer_list. (#6672)
Add a new builtin function `cpp.std.initializer_list.make` that takes an
array and returns a `std::initializer_list`, initialized to refer to
that array. When C++ initialization wants to perform a
`std::initializer_list`-from-array construction, synthesize a
declaration of a matching builtin function and use that to perform the
initialization.

Ideally we would specify this conversion as an impl of `ImplicitAs` in
the prelude instead of hardcoding it in the interop layer, but
unfortunately that's not currently possible, for various reasons -- we
can't make the conversion form-generic, we can't deduce the array length
from the initializer, and we can't deduce against the arguments of
imported C++ class templates yet -- so for now synthesizing a builtin
function on demand is the best we can do.

Richard Smith e69c3fd978 Support list initialization of C++ classes that is performed via a constructor call. (#6660)
The general strategy here is to import the constructor with a signature
that directly matches the argument. The intent is that the imported
function will eventually be usable directly as the `ImplicitAs.Convert`
function in a generated `impl`.

For initialization from a tuple, for example `(1, 2)`, we import the
selected constructor with a signature that takes a tuple pattern:

  `fn Class.Class((a: i32, b: i32)) -> Class;`

In order to support that, this PR also adds support in general for tuple
patterns in function signatures. It turns out the implementation was
already very close to allowing this.

Richard Smith 093d5072db Add support for using C++ user-defined conversions via interop (#6646)
When performing an implicit conversion to or from a C++ class type, look
for a C++ implicit conversion, and if that conversion involves a
function call (to a constructor or conversion function), call that
function to perform the conversion.

Note that this is just a first pass at supporting implicit conversions.
There are a lot of other things that can happen in a C++ implicit
conversion, such as aggregate initialization or `std::initializer_list`
initialization that aren't handled here. In addition, we intentionally
leave all standard conversions to Carbon to perform, so that we will
reject conversions such as `i32 -> unsigned` that C++ would select but
Carbon considers to be invalid.

Also support `as` conversions. These are treated analogously, but
perform direct-initialization instead of copy-initialization, so they
also find `explicit` constructors and conversion functions.

In order to give good diagnostics, also track the original C++ source
location for imported C++ functions on the imported version of the
function.

05ea0e77d9 Map structs and tuples to initializer lists in C++ overload resolution. (#6620)
When performing C++ overload resolution with an argument that is of
Carbon struct or tuple type, form a braced initializer list as the
placeholder argument. Note that this only affects overload resolution;
no new support for actually converting structs or tuples to C++ types is
added. In particular, while this does allow an empty class to be
initialized from `{}`, it does not allow a non-empty C++ class to be
initialized from a struct, as that is not yet supported in general.

Geoff Romer 4329a83e4c Form-aware textual format for return parameters and arguments (#6588)
The key changes are:
- Function output parameters are now prefixed with `out`, and more
consistently formatted as named parameters.
- Function and inst output arguments are now written as part of the inst
form, rather than as one of the inst arguments.

As a drive-by fix, this also changes `Temporary::storage_id` from
`DestInstId` to `InstId`, because it doesn't represent an output
parameter of the `Temporary` inst itself.

Jon Ross-Perkins c5eba90317 Change Destroy to use a CustomWitness instead of a blanket impl (#6512)
Pursuant to recent decisions on #6124, switch `Destroy` to use a
`CustomWitness` for its implementation. Right now this is manufacturing
no-op implementation functions on each lookup, which obviously isn't
ideal but is intended as a first pass. I'm mostly trying to find the
right balance between updating the approach to reflect new decisions,
while still breaking apart work in a way.

The `CoreInterface` logic is intended to build on `CoreIdentifier`
support. We have a number of additional interfaces that require
specialized logic, and that'll extend pretty far with C++ interop, so it
seemed easiest to have a generic function for it. That's what's
replacing the logic inside C++ interop that was doing string comparisons
(which could have already been moved to `CoreIdentifier`, I just missed
it in my first pass).

This adds `CustomWitness` support because the `Destroy` witnesses can be
imported cross-file. `CustomWitness` was previously only used for C++
types, which don't yet support import, which is why that wasn't
previously an issue. The addition of `query_specific_interface_id` is
similarly needed in order to get correct sorting of witness blocks when
imported.

This PR also removes builtin constraint logic (note this is in a
separate commit to help review; it's not a separate PR because it's
difficult to split apart without tests breaking). This had been made
generic with the expectation that destroy, copy, move, and conversions
would all need related support. Under the new decision, we are not going
to do blanket impls and will instead just manufacture a `CustomWitness`
for everything.

A lot of SemIR fingerprints change, but that's probably because the
addition of `Destroy` on core classes is yielding structural changes.

Jon Ross-Perkins 47e551141f Change the package namespace to use the package name (#6495)
Instead of naming the root namespace `package` (because it's accessed by
the `package` keyword), change it to use the current package name. Note,
buried in the checksum changes,
`toolchain/check/testdata/package_expr/fail_not_found.carbon`:

```
-  // CHECK:STDERR: fail_not_found.carbon:[[@LINE+4]]:16: error: member name `x` not found in `package` [MemberNameNotFoundInInstScope]
+  // CHECK:STDERR: fail_not_found.carbon:[[@LINE+4]]:16: error: member name `x` not found in `Main` [MemberNameNotFoundInInstScope]
```

for:

```
  // CHECK:STDERR:   var y: i32 = package.x;
  // CHECK:STDERR:                ^~~~~~~~~
```

I'll leave it to you if you prefer this; the alternative I see is to
just rename `IsCorePackage` to `IsImportedCorePackage`, and/or change it
to a helper that takes a `Context` and does the right thing with
`parse_tree` (which, I need for `Destroy`-related reasons and was my
default approach).

Richard Smith ec8c999bb1 Support passing Carbon Optional(T*) to C++ T* parameter. (#6422)

Richard SmithandJon Ross-Perkins 054dfca685 Perform overload resolution immediately in C++ operator lookup. (#6416)
Don't attempt to defer overload resolution by creating a
`CppOverloadSet`; this was incorrect as we weren't saving the complete
clang::OverloadCandidateSet, resulting in template candidates not being
found. Moreover, saving the overload candidate set would be expensive,
as the representation is surprisingly large, and is unnecessary since
we're about to build a call.

In passing, improve the diagnostics for overload resolution failure to
use Clang's operator overload resolution messages rather than its call
overload resolution messages.

This fixes calls to templated operator overloads, which is the final
piece needed for us to successfully compile an iostream-based "Hello
world" program.

Jon Ross-Perkins 167b45ca35 Rewrite pending specifics to use the work stack (#6415)
I was trying to figure out the right way to get specifics to be added to
the work.

Technically, we could keep the pending_specific list; this is taking a
different approach of inserting inside the work stack, which will do
extra work moving entries, although typically that should be expected to
be small. One challenge of `pending_specifics` is that if we would need
to shift them to work after both `Done` (for immediate processing) and
`Retry` (for processing after the current instruction is later revisited
and done). That feels kind of awkward as additional tracking to do.
Also, the common case is probably that there's either 0 or 1 specifics
being added, so an additional vector may be significant overhead. That's
why I leaned more in this direction of just inserting them in the vector
of work.

Richard Smith 13fbe3c1f3 Allow interop with classes with virtual base classes. (#6413)
For now, treat such classes as being final, since we can't correctly

This removes the last category of C++ class that we are entirely unable

Jon Ross-Perkins 8779b8f64b Replace pending generic logic with work stack-based logic (#6404)
This continues work to eliminate pending generics/specifics and get them

`FinishGenericOrDone` here as a way to help ensure that code correctly
handles generics, where the simple alternative would be for each
`TryResolveTypedInst` call `SetGenericData` directly (but which might
make it easier to call the wrong `ResolveResult` function, and we do
need the `GenericId`s to be passed).

Following #6357, map C++ `void` to a prelude class type
`Core.CppCompat.VoidBase`, not to a builtin type. This is mostly just
moving logic around, but does notably change `Cpp.void` from being an
incomplete type to being a complete-but-abstract type.

Also change `NullptrT` to be an adapter for `void*` instead of `()*`, to
follow the approved design.

Implicit conversions to `void` and to `void*` are still absent.

Dana Jansens 5ae5170421 Allow deduction of tuple and struct literals as symbolic generic facet types (#6365)
Give TupleLiteral and StructLiteral a constant value, if their contents
have constant values. Their constant values are TupleValue and
StructValue respectively. This supports their ability to convert to a
constant type (or facet type).

This way when deduce finds a TupleLiteral as the argument to a
_symbolic_ facet type, it can also find a constant value to use for that
argument. This allows deduction to move onto step two, where it can
substitute into the symbolic parameter from previous deduced arguments,
and then perform the conversion from the TupleValue to the desired facet
type.

Allow `PerformBuiltinConversion()` to convert from a canonical
TupleValue or StructValue to `type` instead of only from literals. Then,
also support conversion from a symbolic binding of type TupleType or
StructType to `type`.

Adds a flag `--optimize=<mode>` that specifies what to optimize for:

* `--optimize=none` turns off the optimizer as much as possible, but
still respects always_inline.
* `--optimize=debug` aims to be the equivalent of `-Og` / `-O1`, and
provides optimizations that don't affect the ability to debug the
program. This is the default.
* `--optimize=size` optimizes for the size of the produced program, and
aims to be the equivalent of `-Oz`.
* `--optimize=speed` optimizes for the execution time of the produced
program, and aims to be the equivalent of `-O3`.

Following the approach taken by Clang, the optimization level feeds into
both the configuration of the LLVM pass pipeline and the attributes
added to function definitions generated by the frontend.

Optimization is performed in a new phase, `optimize`, which runs between
`lower` and `codegen`.

Jon Ross-PerkinsandDana Jansens 42e2280150 Clean up singleton TypeId use (#6300)
#6289 absentmindedly added fields in more places, and this is undoing
that plus further fixes.

This does some cleanup of types with relation to singletons. For
`TypeType` and `ErrorInst`, they're always complete due to a
`SetComplete` call in `file.cpp`. For `CppVoidType`, it's intended to be
incomplete by construction, and so a `TypeId` should be okay. The intent
though on not generally providing these had been that `GetSingletonType`
needs to be called to get a type to be marked as complete.

In the case of `AutoType`, removing `TypeId`does change a small printing
detail. I think that's old legacy that's just been carried forward.

Otherwise, for both `InstType` and `AutoType`, I've added
`GetSingletonType` calls where they were used in order to ensure
completeness is applied correctly. These calls cause small SemIR
permutations.

This causes `AutoType` to be seen by lowering, so I'm adding a
placeholder for it. Also merging two functions that look like they're
identical in intent -- not sure why they're separate.

Boaz Brickner 4d4d720ff0 C++ Interop: Support getting void* from C++ functions and passing void* it to C++ function (#6279)
This defines `Cpp.void` as a custom type.
`Cpp.void*` is mapped to C++ `void*`.

Not supported yet: Conversions from and to other pointer types.

C++ Interop Demo:

```carbon
// main.carbon

library "Main";

import Core library "io";

import Cpp inline '''
#include <cstdio>

auto GetPointer() -> void* _Nonnull {
  static int x = 8;
  return &x;
}

auto GetValue(void* _Nonnull ptr) -> int {
  return *static_cast<int*>(ptr);
}
''';

fn Run() -> i32 {
  let ptr: Cpp.void* = Cpp.GetPointer();
  Core.Print(Cpp.GetValue(ptr));
  return 0;
}
```

```shell
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon compile main.carbon
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon link main.o --output=demo
$ ./demo
8
```

Part of #6280.
