Geoff RomerandRichard Smith e023f75254 Implement thunking in terms of constant evaluation (#7332)
The bulk of this change is changing most pattern insts to be `Always`
rather than `AlwaysUnique` constants, so that they can be wrapped in
`SpecificConstant`s to perform substitution. That then lets thunking
rely much more on `SpecificConstant` wrappers instead of deep-copying
the inst tree with modified types.

This approach to thunking should scale better, particularly as things
like form generics make function signatures more complex, because we can
leverage the existing support for constant evaluation and substitution.
Unfortunately, applying this approach to binding patterns will require
more work; see the TODO near the top of `thunk.cpp` for details.

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 7fe3e35aec Support for float <-> int conversions. (#7275)
Implement support for floating-point <-> integer type conversions as
described in #820 and #845, extended to support `unsafe as` conversions
for the conversions that can't be expressed as either implicit
conversions or `as` conversions.

One tricky part here is conversions from floating-point literals to
integer types. Such literals may have both a very large mantissa and a
corresponding somewhat large negative exponent, and still produce a
result that is in the range of values that a small integer type can
represent. In order to support that while avoiding building very large
2^N or 10^N constants in general, we first compute a conservative
approximation of the number of bits necessary to represent the integer
result, with an early exit if the number is either definitely too large
or definitely zero. The remaining cases have a reasonable bound on the
size of integer necessary to compute the base^exponent multiplicand.

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`.

Chandler CarruthandChristopher Di Bella 8a59f2a76b Fix mangling collision for C++ class template specializations (#7269)
Carbon-side thunks (for example the `Copy`/`Destroy` witness thunks
generated for imported C++ types) are mangled by Carbon, and their names
incorporate a fingerprint of the involved types. The instruction
fingerprinter identifies a class only by its name and parent scope,
which is sufficient for Carbon classes but not for imported C++ classes:
different specializations of one class template (and other cases such as
types in anonymous namespaces) share a Carbon name and parent scope. As
a result, the thunks for two distinct specializations could mangle to
the same name, producing a single LLVM function with two definitions and
failing `verifyModule` during lowering.

When fingerprinting a class imported from C++, also include the Clang
mangled name of its type.

Test: toolchain/lower/testdata/interop/cpp/thunks.carbon gains a split
with two specializations of one class template, each requiring a thunk;
their thunks now get distinct mangled names instead of colliding.

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.

Dana Jansens f8dd4d85bf Do not treat impls in different scopes as redeclarations (#7161)

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.

Jon Ross-Perkins b14015602b Make Destroy.Op functions able to have a body (#6729)
This is iterating on how `Destroy.Op` generates, to start adding body
capabilities. This changes the way the signature is created, and adds a
`CoreWitness` function kind so that mangling can prevent name
collisions. The result is that what _was_ `DestroyOp` is now
`Core.Destroy.Op` or, as can be seen in
toolchain/lower/testdata/interop/cpp/nullptr.carbon,
`_COp.<hash>:core.Destroy.Core` where `:core` is indicating that it's a
core witness (taking a note from `:thunk`).

Richard Smith f9ab963bd6 Add a type_literal instruction to represent syntactic type literals. (#6781)
This allows us to capture the location at which a type literal was used,
even in the cases where we don't otherwise need to create a new
instruction to represent the type such as for `char` or `str`.

The logic used to build the underlying type is now marked as desugaring.
For cases such as `iN`, this causes the call to `Core.Int` to no longer
be added as a dedicated IR instruction, and instead its constant value
is used directly as the value of the `type_literal`. This results in
this being on balance a reduction in the size of the IR.

This also fixes a crash in C++ interop when using a `char` literal as a
template argument. The crash was caused by the template argument not
having an associated location when mapping to a C++ location. See
changes to check/testdata/interop/cpp/template/type_param.carbon for an
example that used to crash before this change.

Update alias handling to allow an alias to point at any type literal,
reinstating support for aliases for type literals such as `bool` and
`i32` that had previously worked but stopped working when we
transitioned those types to being defined in the prelude. See changes to
toolchain/check/testdata/alias/builtins.carbon.

All the test changes other than the two mentioned above are mechanical
autoupdate changes switching to the new instruction.

Dana Jansens 917a6ea971 Add an interface-with-self generic to each interface and same for constraints (#6667)
Currently each interface has a `Self` facet internally that becomes a
binding to every entity inside the interface: associated constants,
functions, and require decls. Each of these has to be independently
generic as a result. This makes is challenging in extended name lookup
to move into an extended scope of an interface, as we have a specific
for the interface, but the names within require a different specific
that includes a `Self` facet value.

We generalize this relationship by adding a second generic to Interface,
called `generic_with_self`. When we want to work with entities inside
the interface, we move from the interface-without-specific to the
interface-with-self specific by adding a Self to the specific. This is
done independently of any particular entity inside the Interface, as
those entities are now all members of the interface-with-self generic.

Associated constants no longer need a generic of their own, as they do
not have separate generic bindings. Functions retain a generic, but if
the function has no generic arguments, it will have no bindings of its
own now.

Require decls retain a generic so that their specific can be
instantiated separately from the interface. Requiring the interface to
be complete does not require the types in a require decl to be complete
unless it is modified by `extend`. So we allow them to be completed
later by keeping them in a separate generic.

Named constraints look like interfaces and gain the additional inner
generic-with-self, with the same relationship to require decls.

This removes the need for name lookup to perform Substitution of a Self
facet into the extended scope instruction. Instead, the
`SpecificConstant` instruction inserted by a `require` decl is part of
the interface-with-self generic. When looking through a FacetType for
extended scopes, for each interface, we push the scope with the specific
for the interface-with-self. Then the constant value of the
`SpecificConstant` is correctly modified by the provided self
automatically through applying that specific.

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.

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.

Members of `std::string_view` can't be accessed directly, because that
type maps into Carbon's `str` type (`Core.String`), so member access
doesn't find the C++ members. But they can be named via qualified name
lookup into a derived type. That crashed because we didn't expect the
non-Cpp type `Core.String` to be the parent of a Cpp-imported member.

Plus add some more test coverage for related cases (not involving `str`)
that already worked.

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.

The return form inst is currently ignored. Subsequent PRs will expose it
in `SemIR::Function` and use it to determine the form of call
expressions.

Boaz Brickner 16999a79cc Fix a crash caused by a bug introduced in C++ overloads support in GetScopeIdOffset() (#6151)
After this change, we correctly increment the offset by the next switch
case type.
Before this change, we accidentally incremented the offset by
`functions()` size instead of `cpp_overload_sets()` size and vice versa.
Also sorted the switch cases according to the order of the enum, for
consistency. This might help prevent a future similar incident.

This fix prevents crashing in the newly introduced test
`multiple_too_few_args_calls`.

This also has the side effect of showing `null name` for
`cpp_overload_set_type` and `cpp_overload_set_value`, instead of having
an arbitrary name.
Examples that demonstrate the old name is arbitrary can easily be seen
in tests like `cpp_namespace.carbon` and `decayed_param.carbon`, but
careful review would show that all old names are arbitrary, though often
luckily almost make sense.

We might want to have a proper name for these, but it's beyond the scope
of this crash fixing change.

The general strategy here is to force use of a thunk when we want to use

on its side of the thunk.

To support this, change the key type used in `clang_decls` from being
just a `Decl*` to being a pair of `Decl*` and number of parameters in
the case of function decls. Import distinct `SemIR::Function`s for each
number of parameters that's used, and corresponding distinct thunks.

Ivana Ivanovska 12ddfb9c7c [Carbon/C++ interop] Add support for C++ overloaded functions (#5891)
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.

Richard SmithandChandler Carruth bd90fe1d9b Interop: map C++ std::string_view into Carbon str when importing. (#5985)
We assume these types have the same representation. For now, that will
only be the case for libc++ on 64-bit targets, because libc++ puts the
size field first, and `Core.String` always uses a 64-bit size field even
on 32-bit targets.
