As discussed in toolchain meeting, we want to avoid overloading the
meaning of "instance", and "specific" was the best name we found. It's a
little unorthodox and inventive, but hopefully over time will become as
unsurprising as the term "generic" is.
Note this isn't implementing checking through imports. The parse node
there is harder to access through the context, so would require
examining the entity in order to get the import declaration, to get at
the ImportIR. We also don't have a parse tree attached in that case, and
would need to add one to SemIR::File. But I believe we do want to add
that, so it's explicitly a TODO.
Note GetTokenText re-lexes literal values, so there's a bit of potential
overhead there. Not sure if we want a more efficient manner for
comparing in cases like this.
For each generic, build a list of instructions describing the
computations we need to do when resolving an instance of the generic:
this is a list of the instance-specific constants and types that the
generic uses. Another way of viewing this list is as a block of Carbon
SemIR code that is evaluated in order to form an instance of the generic
-- this is referenced in the code as the "eval block" for the generic.
For each instruction in the generic whose type or value is a symbolic
constant, replace that type or constant value with a symbolic reference
that says "to find the actual type or value, look at index N in the list
of values for the generic instance".
For an instruction with a symbolic constant value, we can just add that
instruction to our list. For an instruction with a symbolic constant
type, however, we may not have a corresponding instruction computing the
type within the generic and may need to build a new instruction, but
will reuse one where possible. In the case where we build a new
instruction, we use the existing substitution code to build the type
within the eval block.
For now, this transformation is only done in the declaration region of
the generic, not in the definition region. Also, we map back from the
symbolic references to the underlying constant value in a few places
where we will eventually need to do a lookup into a generic instance, in
order to avoid regressing the tests.
Instead of redundantly storing both the `return_type_id` and
`return_storage_id`, where the declared return type is just the type of
the return storage, store only the `return_storage_id`.
Add a convenience property to get the declared return type of the
function.
In addition to avoiding storing redundant information, this is a
preparatory step for an upcoming change for generics support that will
make it more expensive and awkward to store `TypeId`s in places other
than the type of an instruction.
I'd split out the decl-specific handlers so that import_ref.cpp could
also call them. However, with the current model for imports and
constants, we shouldn't use them there. As a consequence, merge them
back into individual files for greater consistency with other helper
functions (and better visibility when making related code changes).
This addresses the const reliance of ResolvePrevInstForMerge by checking
the imported instruction, testing with `alias` name conflicts. Given the
need to examine structure, the helper function feels like it now gets in
the way, so I'm just removing it.

Move completeness check to the point where the function is defined or
first called. This means we also defer deciding whether the function has
a return slot until that point. Instead of storing a return slot per
function, store the location of the return storage, which may or may not
be used, and compute and store a separate flag saying whether to use it
at the point of first use or definition.
This is the final piece in supporting simple `Make` functions in classes
as a replacement for constructors.
Adds ImportIRId::ApiForImpl to reserve a specific slot for the `api`
import, so that the code can trivially determine whether an import is
from the same library. This is then used for merging function
declarations, because the rules for redeclarations in the same library
slightly differ as compared to other imports (note they're also not
identical to same-file rules).
The main thing this leaves from the recent #3762 is verifying that
entities forward declared in the `impl` file are also defined, but
that's not in-scope for merging; it's moreso post-checking validation.
Note, a lot of our `invalid <entity> ID` comments in ids.h were
incorrectly copy-pasted, so I've cut `<entity>`.
Note we only identify conflicts between libraries in the current package
during import.
This restructures the BUILD because of dependency cycles between cpp
files... We're going to need context's name lookup to handle things such
as merging, merging requires function logic, function logic requires
context access. Per discussion, going with a single large cc_library for
now rather than trying to split out small libraries.
I'm envisioning the new merge.* as a hub for cross-declaration merge
logic. Note function.cpp is already pretty sizable, and I think it may
lean a little function-specific even if there are some utilities that
could be split out.
This starts propagating is_extern on import, and warns when merging an
imported non-extern declaration with a local non-extern declaration.
Note this doesn't address import conflicts yet (i.e., two libraries
define an equivalent name) because they don't call merge logic.
On merge, I'm only setting values when new_is_definition because I think
it better matches the comment and resulting behavior. Note I now set
them even for bad redefinitions; I think this matches the comment, and
there's not a perfect choice here. I could change the flow back if
preferred.
Note this puts a spotlight on invalid nodes on imported decls, which I
think I'm going to need to address now. This isn't addressed by
ImportRef logic directly because the Function's decl_id is a
FunctionDecl, rather than the ImportRef that led to it. While I could
add the ImportRef link to each decl, I think adjusting the associated
NodeId is a better approach.
Still needs more merge/redeclaration logic for import semantics, but
this felt like a reasonable point to send a PR.

Add a general substitution mechanism to support substituting symbolic
bindings with their values throughout symbolic constants and, more
specifically, types. This is done by decomposing the constant
instruction into its operands, substituting into the operands, and then
rebuilding the constant value by invoking the constant evaluator.

This was previously discussed at
https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/655578254970716160/1209975051588210729.
I'm initiating this mainly because we typically use "id" suffixes to
indicate an `IdBase` being passed around and the non-id suffix of
`parse_node` suggests at it carrying more data than it actually does.
There used to be more reason for avoiding `node_id` because
`SemIR::InstId` used to be named `NodeId`, but that's no longer
necessary. As a consequence, I'd like to rename `parse_node` to more
precisely reflect its type.
In full, this is doing:
```
parse_node_kind -> node_kind
parse_node -> node_id
ParseNodeCategory -> NodeCategory
ParseNodeKind -> NodeKind
ParseNode -> NodeId
```
This is primarily in check and sem_ir, but with some `parse_node_kind`
references in parse too.
Pluralization is consistent with name forms on both sides, so that
wasn't part of my replacements.
Check that functions in an `impl` are declared properly. For now, simply
reuse the redeclaration checking logic. Longer-term, we need to check
that the signatures match in a more approximate way, after substituting
the `Self` type into the signature in the `interface`.

This detects more cases of incorrect matches between declaration and
definition. It also factors the logic out to a separate file for easier
sharing, particularly when it comes to merging imports (I'm not sure if
this exact API will be reshared, but the core logic should apply).
