Previously we created allocas for temporaries at whatever point in the
output LLVM function we'd reached. This would result in these being
dynamic allocas (performing a dynamic stack allocation), which is
inefficent and can lead to a stack overflow if it happens in a loop.
Switch to putting the allocas in the entry block instead, and instead
generate a lifetime start marker when we reach the point where the
temporary is introduced. We already did this for local variables; this
is just factoring out and reusing that code.
Adds min-preludes to a few more slowest tests, and adds them to most of
the lowering tests, with a few exceptions that make use of operators.
This take the runtime of file_test down from about 8s to about 7s on my
machine.
We add support for Negate on uints in the min-preludes.
This preserves the constant values of the arguments to the thunk, which
is important if the thunk requires conversion of an `IntLiteral` to some
other type. This should become unnecessary once we have form support,
but avoiding the indirection through a thunk function seems valuable
even once that support is in place.
To support this, track whether a function is a thunk on the Function
object, and if so, what the callee of the thunk is. This information is
also included in formatted SemIR when dumping the thunk.
Build a `SpecificConstant` (if needed) and `NameRef` instruction when
referencing the thunk target from a thunk. The former is necessary if
the impl is generic in order to call the right version of the thunk
target. This previously caused a crash in lowering.
Also add some more check testing for the interaction of thunks and
generics. This testing uncovered an unrelated bug with thunks for
generic interface functions for which I've added a TODO.
