We allow using `InstId` as a `LocId` for diagnostics, which works great
in `handle_*` functions, where we are working with non-canonical insts.
And convert and pattern matching often are given non-canonical insts,
which they can use, or pull apart to find some other inst, and use those
as a location for diagnostics. However these operations can also be
called with canonical insts, which have no location. In that case if we
need to diagnose an error, it ends up not being attached to any code at
all. Since we always have a `LocId` somewhere up the call stack, pass it
along and in these places that handle canonical instructions too, use
`GetInstLocationOrFallback()` to get a valid location for diagnostics.
This is also similar to what eval does with its fallback `LocId`.
The result is that many diagnostics now have a location where they had
none before. It also means some insts don't get `<elided>` in formatted
semir for not having a location at all and thus not being in range.
Diagnostic rendering was part of the data model: `Loc::FormatLocation`
and
`Loc::FormatSnippet` wrote plain text to a stream, so no capability,
color, or
terminal width could reach them.
A diagnostic is now one message with labels, contexts, and location
information
attached, and `Diagnostics::Renderer` draws it into a
`Terminal::Buffer`. The
design is in `toolchain/docs/diagnostics_rendering.md` (#7668),
authoring in
`toolchain/docs/diagnostics.md`.
Before:
```
example.carbon:6:3: error: 1 argument passed to function expecting 0 arguments
Run0(1);
^~~~~~~
example.carbon:3:1: note: calling function declared here
fn Run0() {}
^~~~~~~~~~~
```
After:
```
error: 1 argument passed to function expecting 0 arguments
╭─┤ example.carbon:6:3
┆
3 │ fn Run0() {}
· ─────┬─────
· ╰──┤ calling function declared here
┆
-> 6 │ Run0(1);
· ───────
╰────────────
```
`--no-diagnostic-snippets` gives a compact form, `example.carbon:6:3-9`.
File
tests use it; the rendering tests under `toolchain/diagnostics/testdata`
ask for
snippets.
C++ interop diagnostics are data now rather than text Clang drew:
`SemIR::ClangSourceLocId` names a `clang::SourceRange`, and a Clang
location is
marked as the point it names.
`StreamConsumer` moves to a `:renderer` target that `:emitter` does not
depend
on, keeping `common/terminal` out of `consumer.h`. Capabilities come
from the
file behind the error stream, so tests get plain ASCII.
`renderer_fuzzer` draws diagnostics built from fuzzer bytes with every
capability combination, since a shape the renderer doesn't expect must
never be
why the compiler dies while reporting a problem.
TODOs mark the follow-ups: line weights and crossing lines, wrapping
that keeps
a quoted type whole, and ordering diagnostics that share a byte offset.
Also: `IncorrectExtension`'s hint moves into its message, since its note
had no
location of its own, and `strip_noise` in `check_diagnostics.py` blanks
multi-line `#define`s instead of deleting them.

When identifying a facet type, defer evaluation of LookupImplWitnesses
by redirecting them to evaluate into IdentifiedWitness. Then the caller
of identify will need to substitute the IdentifiedWitnesses, either with
witnesses of their own, or with LookupImplWitness to cause a lookup
operation.
This allows:
- An `impl as` on a named constraint can subst the witnesses in
designators from the named constraint with a witness to the impl itself.
This prevents them from looking for and finding some other overlapping
impl. (This PR)
- Impl lookup to collect rewrite/equality requirements from all named
constraints and then use the impls it has already found to evaluate any
designators in those requirements instead of performing impl lookup
again (creating a cycle). (Done in
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7944)
- Similarly, an `impl as` can collect impls and equality requirements
from all named constraints and verify them correctly by replacing
witnesses that should refer to the impl with the correct witness instead
of performing a lookup and finding an overlapping impl. (Done in
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7937)
- ImplWitnessAccess to be able to find rewrites from a named constraint,
not just from the initial DeclaredFacetType. (TBD)
To do this we need to introduce the concept of "identified" specifics.
In order to identify a facet type, we must construct a specific for each
require decl in a named constraint. These specifics will have
IdentifiedWitnesses inside them, but their args would otherwise match a
specific for the require decl constructed in another context. To avoid
polluting the canonical specific namespace, we introduce a second
namespace of specifics that are "identified" since they are created by
identifying.
As we have introduced a new global state that modifies eval behaviour,
we must disable that state when resolving a specific (as per
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7923). But inside an
"identified" specific, we preserve the behaviour so that the witnesses
modified by identify (through SubstPeriodSelf or through evaluating a
require specific) have their evaluation deferred.
As described in proposal #4682, make `array(T, N)` be syntactic sugar
for the type `Core.Array` defined in the standard library. This provides
a home for impls that are specific to `Core.Array`.

A specific's definition block may contain `InstId::None`, indicating it
has no constant value. Display this as `<not constant>` instead of
`invalid`, to avoid it sounding like an error.
Add support for deferring initialization as a template action, and
performing the deferred initialization during template instantiation.
This is substantially more complex than other conversion actions, for
two primary reasons:
* The initializer in the generic may have storage arguments as inputs.
We model an initializing expression as having a "slot" where
initialization writes the location that should be initialized by that
initializing expression, and that needs to be an output of the
initialization action.
* Initialization from a tuple or struct literal needs to recurse into
that literal, and the literal will have been spelled in the generic,
meaning we don't have an `InstId` that can be used to name the specific
version of the initializer as input for nested conversions.
These issues are addressed by introducing two new features to the action
machinery:
In addition to `InstAction`, we now have `MultiInstAction`, which is an
action that produces a tuple of instruction values instead of a single
instruction value. Initialization actions produce one instruction for
the final result, which is spliced at the point of initialization, plus
one instruction for each storage argument, which are spliced into the
storage argument slots in the original generic. During initialization,
if we find one of those splices in the storage argument of an
initializing expression, we return the new storage argument back to the
initialization action to be included in the specific, instead of
overwriting the storage argument in the generic.
Actions whose `PerforrmAction` takes a `SpecificId` as input no longer
perform automatic refinement of their operands to specific instructions.
Instead, the action is given control over when and where it performs
that refinement. In `InitializeAction`, we use this freedom to form a
`SpecificInst` for the initializer in the primary output block, and form
a `SpecificInst` for the target in the target block. When detecting
whether we are initializing from a tuple or struct literal, we step over
the `SpecificInst` and track its `SpecificId`, and if necessary create a
new `SpecificInst` wrapping the sub-initializer when we recurse into the
nested element conversion.

This change partially implements [PR #7362], which revises how objects
are destroyed. It is a partial implementation for two reasons:
1. This change moves `Destroy.Op`'s current behaviour into
`Destroy.SubobjectDestroy`, but it doesn't add support for objects with
non-trivial destruction.
2. `Destroy.SubobjectDestroy` is a workaround for `require impls
SubobjectDestroy`. We aren't able to use the latter until the dependents
add their requirements' implementations to their own witness tables.
[PR #7362]: https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pulls/7362
The type `type` is now a `FacetType` inst with no constraints. This
brings the model implemented in the toolchain into better alignment with
the language design. The `SemIR::TypeType` struct remains as a scope for
holding the `TypeInstId`, `ConstantId`, and `TypeId` constants, but is
not an `InstKind` anymore.
The `TypeType` inst looks a lot like singletons, but there are many
`FacetType` insts so it doesn't quite fit that model. So we put it
alongside singletons with a fixed inst id but refer to it as a more
general "builtin" inst that is not a singleton.
`Namespace::PackageInstId` is similar, and we group it with `TypeType`
conceptually as another builtin instruction with a fixed id.
No conversion is needed anymore to use a `type` as a facet, since types
also have a `FacetType` type. This simplifies and removes a number of
helpers and branches throughout the code.
The `TypeType` inst is now part of the constant store, so we end up
printing it in the constants block in every test. But it's also named
`type` rather than `%type` to preserve the majority of existing
formatting behaviour, though this does look different from other
constants.
Assisted-by: Opus 5 was used to generate a first draft and validate the
refactoring. Though nearly everything non-trivial the tool wrote has
been modified or rewritten.
This action was created to wrap any `MetaInstId` operand of an action
instruction. This served two purposes:
1) It had a special hook in `OperandIsDependent` to allow it to be
performed while it had a dependent operand (the reference to the
instruction in the generic).
2) It created a `specific_inst` so that the downstream action saw an
instruction in the specific instead of one in the generic.
These are both replaced: the special case in `OperandIsDependent` for
`RefineInstAction` is replaced by a special case for `MetaInstId`s in
general, and the `SpecificInst` is now created as part of performing the
downstream action, rather than as a separate step carried out
beforehand.
This simplifies the produced SemIR and reduces the number of splices
significantly. It also prepares us to handle actions like
initialization, where we don't actually want to create `SpecificInst`s
immediately in the location where the action is performed, because they
actually belong somewhere else in the IR.

Use a single `SemIR::Function` per `Core` interface method, whether it's
generated locally or imported. This prevents generating duplicate
functions, which lead to different types when the witness appears in a
`FacetValue` as part of a specific for a class.
We use a `CanonicalValueStore` of `GeneratedFunction` objects that allow
finding an existing FunctionId for a `Generated` special function before
(re-)generating it. Mangling for `Generated` functions is also moved to
use the values from the `GeneratedFunction`'s canonicalization key, so
that we have a consistent source of truth for the unique ID of a
`Generated` function across all files.
New tests are in
`toolchain/check/testdata/impl/custom_witness/destroy.carbon`.
Add basic support for lowering templates: we can now lower `SpliceInst`
in the case where the generic and specific are from the same file (and
we don't support importing templates from other files yet in general).
In order for this to work, lowering needs to be able to query the
expression category, and to handle instructions that appear to be
(template) constants in the generic but turn out to be non-constant in
the specific, so support for that is added.
Switch `type_of_inst` from being added as an action inst to being added
as a normal inst, since it's not an action and the old approach led to a
crash in lowering.
Replace `refine_type_action` with `refine_inst_action`, and generate a
`specific_inst` instead of an `as_compatible` to represent the specific
version of an instruction that's used as an input to a template action.
This gives us a place to handle other properties of the instruction that
might vary from generic to specific beyond its type, such as its
constant value and its expression category.
For now, we provide a non-template-dependent constant value to the
`specific_inst` in addition to the non-template-dependent type we have
traditionally provided. This doesn't seem to matter for any current
actions, but sets us up to better handle future actions. The
`specific_inst` representation also allows downstream consumers of the
instruction to track which specific they should be requesting
information from. Providing a correct expression category for
`specific_inst` will be handled in a future PR.
`GetCallee` is sometimes called on a spliced instruction, and is
checking its exact inst operand to see if it's a `BoundMethod`. This
fails if the `BoundMethod` is wrapped in another instruction, such as a
splice. Normally our approach for such a situation would be to
constant-evaluate the operand, but that doesn't work here because the
`BoundMethod` will be non-constant if its bound `self` is. So instead we
now step through splice instructions manually when looking for the
`BoundMethod`.
Calls with template callee or args can now be deferred via an
InstAction. This allows code like this to check:
```carbon
import Cpp inline '''
template<typename T>
struct C {};
''';
fn F(generic T: type) {
let unused c: Cpp.C(T) = Cpp.C(T).C();
}
```
Treat `InstConstantKind::InstAction` the same as
`InstConstantKind::ConstInstAction`. Drop `ConstInstAction`, since the
two now behave the same.
Fix eval for specifics in a couple places to handle `InstId::None`.
Generalize ConvertToValue template action to handle other kinds of
conversion target that don't perform initialization. Initializing
conversions will need more work since they also need to use a splice to
form the storage block.
Implementing interface modifiers causes an infinite loop when generating
fingerprints because the witness value generates a fingerprint that's
dependent on something dependent on the witness value. We've debugged
this to the witness table's `elements_id` field.
This hack is a workaround for creating a new block type whose value is
not codependent with its identity.

During impl lookup, for each (generic) impl candidate, we form a
specific for that impl by deducing its generic arguments. Then we
compare the query interface against the impl's specific interface. That
comparison needs the deduced arguments applied to the impl's specific
interface. Previously we were doing this by getting the impl's
constraint facet type with the impl's specific applied (via
`GetConstantValueInSpecific()`) and then identifying that facet type
with the impl's deduced self.
Identify is a fairly expensive operation. It runs subst, trying to
replace `.Self` references. It walks named constraints. It collects
require declarations. We're looking at making it do _more_ in the future
too, including rewrite constraint resolution and collecting rewrite and
same-type constraints. For this reason we have a cache to make it cheap
on the second run, but it's still a very heavyweight operation to
involve in impl lookup, when all we want is to apply the impl's specific
to its target interface.
We almost have all the information we need to avoid the identification
step. We have the impl's specific after deduction. And we have the
SpecificInterface that the impl is targeting in the `Impl` struct. When
we form the specific for the impl itself, we resolve the declaration
block and form new constant values for all instructions in there, but
that does not cover the SpecificInterface that we're storing in the
`Impl` struct. So we add a new instruction to the impl's eval block,
which will be symbolic when the impl is generic and the target interface
depends on a generic parameter. And we store the `InstId` in the `Impl`
struct. This allows us to gets its constant value later with the impl's
specific applied. From that constant value we can then pull out the
SpecificInterface that the impl is targeting.
Implement the toolchain side of proposal #7254, removing the `:!`
binding
syntax for generic and template parameters in favor of the keywords
`generic`,
`template`, and `runtime` plus contextual defaults for phase.
For valid programs this is semantics-preserving: each binding resolves
to the
same phase, and produces the same SemIR, as it did under `:!`/`:`. The
parser
derives a binding's phase from its syntactic context plus any explicit
phase
keyword; new diagnostics and error recovery for misused keywords are
described
below.
Implementation details for each component:
- Lexer: remove the `:!` (`ColonExclaim`) token, move its virtual
parse-node
budget onto `:`, and add the `generic` and `runtime` keywords.
- Parser: thread a `BindingContext` (`ExplicitParam`, `DeducedParam`, or
`CompileTimeEntityParam`) from declaration introducers down through
parameter
lists to each binding pattern, using a one-token lookahead to
distinguish a
name-qualifier parameter list from a declaration's own final list.
Parameters
of a compile-time entity (`class`, `interface`, `constraint`, `choice`,
`alias`, `export`, `namespace`) and deduced `[]` parameters default to
checked
generic; explicit function parameters and local bindings default to
runtime.
`HandleBindingPattern` resolves the phase from that context plus the
keyword: a
`generic` keyword needs no node of its own (the phase is carried by the
binding's node kind), while a `runtime` keyword is preserved as a
`RuntimeBindingName` node so `check` can name it in a diagnostic. A
phase
keyword that is merely redundant with the contextual default is
diagnosed
here, without invalidating the parse tree.
- Check: a phase keyword that is invalid for its context (for example
`runtime`
on a checked-generic parameter) is diagnosed here, and recovers by
building an
error binding that still introduces the name so that later uses of it do
not
produce cascading errors.
The removed `:!` syntax is now rejected as an ordinary parse error.
The `form`/`:?`/`->?` ("extended types") portion of proposal #7254 is
left for a
separate change.

In some cases the pattern block can depend on the initializer, so it
must be sequenced after it. See #7469 for a more detailed explanation of
why this is necessary.
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.

Implements proposal #7016: `self` moves from the deduced implicit list
(`fn F[self: Self]()`) to the front of the explicit list. Its type may
be written explicitly (`fn F(self: Self)`) or omitted, in which case it
defaults to `Self` (`fn F(self)`, `fn F(ref self)`); `self` in the
implicit list is rejected.
Throughout checking, `self` is modeled as the first explicit parameter.
Because a method is just a function whose first parameter is `self`, it
can also be called as an ordinary function with the receiver passed
explicitly (`Type.M(obj, ...)`), not only as `obj.M(...)`. A new
`SemIR::CallArgParamPatterns` helper chooses the parameters matched
against the explicit arguments, excluding a leading `self` only when it
is supplied as a method-call receiver; arity checking, conversion, and
generic deduction use it. The resulting SemIR and lowering are
unchanged: `self` is still `call_param0`, and witnesses, thunks, and
vtables are unaffected.
An omitted `self` type is parsed as a `SelfBindingPattern` node with no
type expression; checking synthesizes the `Self` type so it behaves
exactly like `self: Self`. However, the exact spelling used must match
between a forward declaration and a definition, following #3763's rules
around declaration matching.
Generated functions, thunks, and C++ interop import/export build `self`
as the first explicit parameter, and the `self`-type override (e.g.
Derived->Base for a virtual override) applies to the explicit `self`.
Placement is validated by new diagnostics: `SelfInImplicitParamList`,
`SelfNotFirstParam`, and `SelfOutsideParamList`. The benchmark source
generator and the documentation adopt the `(self)` shorthand; the
prelude, the examples, and the test data are migrated in the following
commits.

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.
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`.
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.
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`).

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.
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.

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.
See the review of
[#6532](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/6532) and
[this Discord
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/999638000126394370/1458268977020141589)
for additional background.
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.
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).
This is a prerequisite for support for interop with C++ template names.
No behavior change here, except that it sadly changes the fingerprinting
for a lot of tests.
Right now, the impl lookup can both fail to resolve the specific
definition because it's symbolic, and return a "final" constant because
it's a `final impl`. This is adding an instruction to help ensure the
specific is resolved.
The constant evaluation is fully recursive, but I'm not adding a TODO
since that's a known issue with impl lookup in general.
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.
