Add semantic analysis and semantics IR building for `if` expressions, and add the first parts of control flow handling to semantics IR. After discussion with @chandlerc, use [block arguments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single-assignment_form#Block_arguments) to convey values from the two arms of the `if` to the result. For now, only a single block argument is supported, but we should revisit this as we explore more of the requirements of the Semantics IR form.
Functions can now contain multiple code blocks, so grab the entry block up-front instead of assuming the entry block will be at the top of the block stack when we reach the end of function emission.
Add trivial support for `bool` type literal, because without it we can't write testcases.
This shifts logic so that bindings are added to name lookup only after the scope is complete, removing logic around adding/removing/re-adding names in certain scopes.
This does mean that things like a function's forward declaration will need to go through an extra hoop for name conflict checks, because under this approach a function definition does conflict checking when it adds names for the body's use. But, that seems easy to address, and better than the current hoops.
I'm looking at adding CallableId, so figured I'd do this API refactoring which should reduce code duplication. This increases the amount of cross-calls between APIs because it may not be an issue for performance after optimizations, and should simplify reading of the API.
Also note the prior static_asserts on layout were missing a couple types, which is why I'm moving them into Entry where it's going to be more obvious when something's added.
This is a rename of a commonly used accessor. I tend to prefer shorter names, but it's semantics_ir in LoweringContext, and it feels odder to shorten to semantics there than to lengthen to semantics_ir here. I already have builtins_ir around here, too. I think it's helpful to use consistent names for semantics_ir since they're dealing with essentially the same thing.
This adds canonicalization of struct types based on their type fields. It obsoletes the current CanImplicitAsStruct because the type ids should now be identical when they're structurally identical; there's only a reason to implicit CanImplicitAsStruct to detect _compatible_ conversions.
The type fields themselves aren't canonicalized because it would need to be done during the first parse, and could yield name conflicts being associated with the wrong location. i.e.:
```
var x: {a: i32, a: i32};
var y: {a: i32, b: i32, a: i32};
```
This should yield two separate name conflict diagnostics pointing at the type fields for each respective line, but if struct type fields were canonicalized then both would point at the first `a: i32` field definition. This isn't expected to be an issue for types because I'm trying to print those, but we may also end up with a "first defined at" situation in some cases (still, less confusing because the type should match). Regardless, I think individual fields gets much more awkward.
This switches types to using SemanticsTypeId instead of SemanticsNodeId, and lowering pre-builds its list of types. The empty tuple type is special-cased because we don't want to emit it unless it's in-use, but as the implicit return for functions, it's frequently used. Callables use invalid to indicate the implicit return, and that seems undesirable to change due to the size increase.
We do use the empty tuple type for function returns, so I don't want to get rid of it, but the value is unused. With this change, builtins are all types. Long-term the empty tuple value should have a representation similar to structs; just a tuple value that's empty, not a built-in.
This removes special-casing of empty structs, handling them as just a regular value instead of a builtin. Note the `{} as Type` is still special-cased.
In lowering, removes the test of calling a function using `{}` because it's missing the proper load/store. This setup notices that error whereas the prior worked due to said special-casing. Fixing this will need to be done as part of generally adding loads for variable uses.
This is the first step to refactoring types into a SemanticsTypeId. This only tracks what's in-use, but as a consequence starts funneling type information through in ways similar to how I'd want it to do SemanticsTypeId.
Previously, IR for arguments in calls and struct values was separated out. This merges it back in. Additionally, parameters for functions and struct types had their own IR; the block is still there, but there's a TODO to decide what to do with it.
In the LLVM IR, this has the consequence of emitting expressions that are inputs to a call or struct value within the scope of the function, which is pretty much where it should be. Importantly it happens before the call is encountered.
This change also tinkers with the int and real literal lowering. I'm pretty sure both are still wrong, but was having trouble figuring out a "better" way to do it, and this seems like it'll work for now.
This echoes #2818 and the philosophy is mostly covered there.
Versus parsing, semantics uses fewer separate handler files (for now) because the logic has been shorter. However, the design is still intended to make it easy to split files along boundaries similar to the parser, as I've done for a couple more complex/inter-related sections.
