Geoff Romer ae3c4266d4 Add separators between files in LLVM IR dumps (#7463)
Each file dump now starts with a `; ---` comment and ends with a blank
line. This makes it easier to visually scan the dump for a file of
interest. The comment format is somewhat arbitrary; I chose `---` to
align with the `--- filename.carbon` separator in SemIR dumps, but
without the filename, because that appears on each of the next two lines
already.

Richard Smith cefa0397bb More fixes to package and library fingerprinting. (#7297)
Fix import logic to make all imported packages be children of the
`NameScopeId::Package` scope. Previously, indirectly-imported packages
would end up as children of their importing package's scope, which
resulted in them not being treated as packages at all, and in particular
not being fingerprinted as packages.

Fixing that caused a failure in the fingerprinting logic as we started
to encounter packages with no correspoding import scopes. Instead of
looking for import scopes, use a simpler mechanism to map packages to
their package names, and clean up.

Unfortunately the latter change churns all the fingerprints again :(
Hopefully this is the last time for a while.

Richard Smith f5e9c61f11 Don't include the library name in most fingerprints. (#7292)
When we import from another library in the same package, its entities
end up with our library as their parent scope, resulting in cross-file
fingerprint mismatches. Instead, only include the library ID when
fingerprinting either a package-private entity or an `ImportIRId` that
refers to a particular `SemIR::File`.

Richard Smith 05cc09daca Fix cross-package signature mismatches. (#7232)
Fixes link failures when referencing a symbol involving a fingerprint
from a different package.

Previously we included the `Namespace`'s `import_id` as part of its
fingerprint, which caused local and imported namespaces to get different
fingerprints. We now store the `import_id` on the `NameScope` instead of
on the `Namespace` inst to avoid this problem.

Also, when we reach a package-level `NameScopeId`, consistently
fingerprint it as a (package name, library name) pair. Previously the
fingerprinting depended on whether it was imported or not, as an
imported `NameScopeId` had a parent scope (the current package). We need
to include the library name here so that private entities with the same
name in different libraries have different fingerprints.

Jon Ross-Perkinsandjonmeow 9266ced4e3 Improve CanDestroyType to handle remaining cases (#6943)
This is only fixing the decision about *whether* to produce a witness.
Implementation of the witness is still a TODO, though where a body is
generated, it should also precisely reflect where one _needs_ to be
generated.

Note the tests:

- toolchain/lower/testdata/function/generic/import_core_witness.carbon
- toolchain/lower/testdata/function/generic/import_unused_def.carbon

These tests can probably be produced _without_ Core.Destroy, but I found
the essence of them while trying to build //examples with Core.Destroy
and a simpler minimization wasn't striking me.

David BlaikieandDana Jansens a179bd461b Start plumbing through debug info type information with function parameters/return value (#6410)
This adds just enough debug info for i32/int parameters and return
values, with a path forward for adding DWARF type metadata for other
types.

As it happens, return type information is carried separately from
parameter information:
* Return type information is carried in the `type` of the `DISubprogram`
  (as a `DISubroutineType` - which does carry parameter type information
  as well, but that's unused when the DWARF is emitted by LLVM)
* Parameter information is carried by `DILocalVariable`s with a non-zero
  `arg` value (representing the order of function parameters)

In the absence of locations for the parameters (future work), nothing
would usually keep the `DILocalVariable` live/reachable when emitting
DWARF - so for cases where this can happen (for clang, this happens in
optimized builds where all references to the parameter variable might be
optimized away) the variables can be "retained" in a list on the
`DISubprogram` - achieved by passing `AlwaysPreserve` parameter to
`createParameterVariable` (adds them to a list, then that list gets
attached to the `DISubprogram` when it's finalized later)

For now, any unsupported types are emitted as `void*` (except void
return, which is implemented as void) as a placeholder.

Given this example:
```
import Core library "io";
class MyClass {
}
fn Unsupported(v: MyClass) {
}
fn Ret() -> i32 {
  return 42;
}
fn Arg(x: i32) {
  Core.Print(x);
}
fn Run() {
}
```
this is the resulting DWARF:
```
DW_TAG_compile_unit
  DW_AT_name    ("test.carbon")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Unsupported")
    DW_TAG_formal_parameter
      DW_AT_type        (0x00000066 "void *")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Ret")
    DW_AT_type  (0x00000062 "int")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Arg")
    DW_TAG_formal_parameter
      DW_AT_type        (0x00000062 "int")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Run")
  DW_TAG_base_type
    DW_AT_name  ("int")
  DW_TAG_pointer_type
```
And the debugger:
```
(gdb) p Ret()
$1 = 42
(gdb) p Arg(4)
4
$2 = void
```

I'm not sure if there's a way this logic should be merged with the logic
for making the `llvm::Function` type (which the `DISubroutineType`
building code was inspired by/copied from) - since they're done at
different times/places, I don't think there's an easy way to do it in
one pass, but maybe the code can be shared (even if it's run twice) in
some generic `SemIR::Function` type walker.

David Blaikie bb9942823f DebugInfo: Emit as "C++" rather than "C" (#6361)
This helps at least lldb handle calling functions (currently the debug
info describes every function as `void()`, so no parameters or return
values are supported) - seems gdb and lldb both depend on demangling to
varying degrees in C code (marking a function as "prototyped" in C in
DWARF does seem to also address this problem).

Given:
```
fn PrintThree() {
  Core.Print(3);
}
```
Before:
```
  (lldb) p PrintThree()
  error: Couldn't look up symbols:
    PrintThree
  Hint: The expression tried to call a function that is not present in
    the target, perhaps because it was optimized out by the compiler.
```
After:
```
  (lldb) p PrintThree()
  3
  (lldb)

aa69a484eb Add support for running LLVM optimizer. (#6225)
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`.

Richard Smith a556cf41fc Use static allocas for temporaries. (#5734)
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.

Dana Jansensandzygoloid 24bde46181 Change array syntax from [T; N] to array(T, N) (#4981)
In line with the proposal in #4682, this changes the array syntax to be
array(T, N). `array` is a builtin keyword which must be followed by
parens containing two expressions and a separating comma.

The array type expression is still fully builtin, it does not forward to
a Core.Array library type yet. It merely adds the `ArrayType`
instruction, as was done with the previous syntax.

Followup work will change the instruction to reference to Core.Array,
once the library type exists and can be used directly.

Jon Ross-Perkins 2929254168 Update LLVM version, fix breaks (#4886)
- The actual reason I started this: minor lowering updates in the golden
LLVM IR
- Process.inc changed enough to need a patch context update.
- https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/123126 added `proto_library`
uses without a `load`, which is broken in bazel 8
- Just commenting these out because we don't use them. I'll follow up
separately about a possible fix, but continuing to use `WORKSPACE` is a
bigger issue LLVM probably should address.

Richard Smith a10c79569e Model Core.Int as a class type (#4644)
Instead of treating `Core.Int` as the toolchain's builtin `IntType`,
model it as a class that adapts the builtin type. This aligns us better
with the intended language model, gives an associated library for
`impl`s involving `Core.Int` to live within, and opens the door adding
member functions to `Core.Int` if we decide that is desirable.
Remarkably it also seems to make the formatted SemIR a little smaller,
because a call to a generic class generates less IR than a call to a
function.

For the few remaining uses of the builtin `i32` type, manually build an
`IntType(Signed, 32)` value instead. These are:

- The return type of `Run`.
- The type that int literals in an `if` expression are converted into.
- The type of an array index expression.

We should consider converting those three cases away from `i32` over
time.

Richard Smith bc395eb889 Represent integer literals as IntLiteral not as i32. (#4532)
When an `IntLiteral` appears as an operand of an `if` expression,
convert it to `i32` for now, so that we don't reject things like `if
cond then 1 else 2` due to having a non-constant value of type
`IntLiteral`.

For tuple indexing expressions such as `(a, b).0`, convert the index to
type `IntLiteral`, not to type `i32`. This isn't strictly necessary to
do in this PR, but avoids the need to provide an `IntLiteral` -> `i32`
implicit conversion for `no_prelude` tests using this syntax.

a548eff0bb Rudimentary name mangling support (#4267)
This seems to be enough to avoid naming collisions for functions in any
of the current test cases (verified by asserting that the name of the
`llvm::Function` matches the name passed to create it - not triggering
LLVM's numbering that happens when names collide)

It currently implements mangling for namespace scopes, class scopes, and
impls.
Nothing generic is mangled yet - haven't looked at how that works,
though evidently it's not covered by existing testing, I guess.

Follow-up change will document the current mangling algorithm in
`toolchain/docs/lower.md`

David Blaikie 67b287a2f2 DebugInfo: Add the name as-written, separate from the mangled name (#4253)
There's not much mangling happening yet - but Run -> main (and some
overloading numbering happening, maybe LLVM is doing that 'helpfully'
under the hood?) is enough to demonstrate this improvement/fix.

Ah, here it is:
```

```

That's where LLVM decides to make a new name (name.number) when asked to
create a new global with the same name as an existing global.

It's not a valid mangling scheme - since the name won't be stable
between different compilations, but it is enough to make
single-compilation code build/run for now.

David BlaikieandJon Ross-Perkins ea8ad22a17 Add function debug info descriptions (#4233)
Still doesn't have line tables, so of limited value (at least now
this'll be enough that LLVM really generates debug info into the
resulting object file (whereas with only the compilation unit metadata,
LLVM will consider it empty and avoid emitting any of it)) - but another
step along the path.

This also doesn't attach the right source location to the functions -
I'll do that in a follow-up change because I think it'll require the
majority of the refactoring between driver and check to extract the
essential functionality sem_ir_diagnostic_converter, I think, to allow
retrieving source locations during lowering.

d57aa57215 Add rudimentry debug info metadata emission (#4225)
This adds just the debug info metadata for Compilation Units (the top
level container of debug info) - but without anything in them, LLVM
won't emit them at all, so while this is testable at the IR level, it
isn't observable at the object level until more debug info is added.

A couple of starting points in this patch:
* A flag (`--debug-info`, seems to match the naming/style of other flags
in the carbon driver, though this is different from the naming
conventions of clang/gcc) that enables debug info when lowering. Open to
other names/approaches (on by default? historically debug info's been to
large/expensive to do this, so sticking with that precedent for now).
* Enabling that flag by default in the lowering tests - I do find the
churn on golden tests a bit rough, and adding more features to all the
tests means more churn, but it seems consistent with the approach so far
- keep an eye on this and perhaps revisit this if the churn gets too
annoying

Jon Ross-Perkins 83413479d7 Move some of the test information to TIP lines (#4007)
This has is a nice-to-have for me. Frequently I want to run a specific
test, and end up digging through output to be able to copy-paste the run
line. This uses TIP lines to inject the command into the file when using
AUTOUPDATE.

Note, one of the reasons I want this is because "bazel test
//toolchain/testing:file_test --test_output=all" has been regularly
exceeding bazel's output limit for me (workaround is either opening the
output file or specifying an obscure output limit flag), making it a
little harder for me to get the commands. However, frequently I'm adding
a file and want to iterate on it, so that's really the use case I have
in mind here.

Richard Smith ccf87f0a38 Use computed constants in lowering rather than lowering instructions (#3905)
First steps towards using constant values in lowering.

For now, we reuse the regular instruction lowering to lower constants.
This mostly works, because we don't actually need an `llvm::Function` or
a current basic block when lowering a constant most of the time.
However, a special case is needed for lowering aggregate value constants
because they would otherwise create a stack alloca to store the
constant. Separate constant lowering code will be added in a future
change to clean this up.

When lowering a constant initializing expression, the result is a value
of the destination type, rather than code to initialize the destination,
so a separate copy step is required when finishing initialization from a
constant for a type that uses in-place initialization. Handling this
required extending `ReturnExpr` to track its destination location.

We currently often create non-constant `*_access` SemIR instructions
that are only used by constant `*_init` instructions. These cause
lowering to leave behind `getelementptr` instructions in the lowered IR
that are now unused. It should be possible to detect this case and avoid
producing these instructions, or to produce them lazily, but for now
we're just leaving them around for LLVM to clean up.

Richard Smith 3776c068de Unify instruction naming between SemIR and LLVM IR (#3898)
Factor out `SemIR::InstNamer` and also use it when lowering to LLVM IR.
Automatically name all instructions created with our `IRBuilder` based
on the name computed by the `InstNamer`, and likewise name basic blocks
using the label generated by the `InstNamer`.

Move some of the existing naming logic out from lower into `InstNamer`
so that it's also used in SemIR. In particular, we now name call
instructions after their callee, or after the builtin name for calls to
builtins.

Computing and adding these names isn't completely free. This instruction
naming is designed to be optional, so that we can turn it off for builds
where the LLVM IR will only be converted to assembly and won't be seen
by a human, but so far it's enabled unconditionally. We can tune that
later as needed.

Richard Smith 428d11323a Directly convert from an initializer to a value where possible. (#3306)
If the initializing representation is the same as the value
representation, don't materialize a temporary and perform a value
binding. Instead, directly extract the value, using a new
`value_of_initializer` node.

This removes a lot of redundant `alloca`s from our generated LLVM IR.

Richard Smith 842b471e67 Perform in-place initialization for tuples and structs (#3246)
This implements initializing expression semantics for structs and
tuples, following #2006 and discussions since.

Tuple and (and analogously, struct) literals are treated as having a
mixed expression category that is later resolved based on how the
literal is used, as either a tuple initializer or a tuple value, at
which point we create a `TupleInit` or `TupleValue` that represents the
formation of the tuple initializer or tuple value from the tuple
literal.

There's quite a lot of TODOs here, and the SemIR representation is still
not quite right, but this seems like a good place to checkpoint some
incremental progress.

Richard Smith e81d171226 Switch to modeling array initialization analogously to a function call. (#3205)
Instead of modeling array initialization as a thin wrapper around tuple
initialization, handle it like a function call, with a return slot as
part of its input. This better matches how initialization via a call to
`ImplicitAs::Convert` will eventually work, and in particular lets us do
in-place initialization of arrays rather than always creating a
temporary.
