Start treating function calls as initializing expressions instead of as
value expressions.
This required adding support for expression categories. Value bindings
and temporary materialization conversions are created where necessary to
transition between expression categories. For a function call with a
return slot, we speculatively create a materialized temporary before the
call and either commit to it or replace it with something else later,
once we see how the function call expression is actually used.
This change follows the direction suggested in #3133 for initializing
expressions: depending on the return type of a function, the return
value will either be initialized in-place or returned directly. This is
visible in the semantics IR, which is a little unfortunate but is
probably necessary as this is part of the semantics of the program.

Splits IR files into SemIR, and logic files into Check. These will be
split into separate directories as part of a later move; the namespaces
are being done first in order to vet the switch, and hopefully make
conflicts a little easier to manage due to the substantial renames.
A lot of this is just automated removal of Semantics prefixes from
names, adding namespace references where needed. A few special-cases
are:
- SemanticsIR -> SemIR::File
- A few things were discussed, like Unit, CompileUnit, or CompiledUnit.
Unit was too vague for chandlerc, and I thought CompileUnit might lead
to incorrect inferences (CompilationUnit would be more precise, but
typically written as SemIR::CompilationUnit which is pretty long). File
seemed to be a short name that we could agree on.
- SemanticsIRFormatter -> SemIR::Formatter
- FormatSemanticsIR -> SemIR::FormatFile
- SemanticsFileTest -> CheckFileTest
- It remains in the Testing namespace, where just "FileTest" might be
too broad a name.
- SemanticsDeclarationNameStack::Context ->
Check::DeclarationNameStack::NameContext
- This avoids a Check::Context name shadowing.
Changes check_internal.h to include ostream.h to improve finding of
Print/operator<< (otherwise it didn't compile).
This is part of #3070
For `Assign` and `ReturnExpression`, this field wasn't used for
anything. For `StructTypeField`, we stored the type of the field here,
and now store it as an argument of the node instead.

This started with cleaning up the remaining Name/expression type punning
in the node stack, and grew. I'm factoring out a class because we've
previously expressed the desire to factor logic out of SemanticsContext
where possible, and this seemed like a reasonable cut.
NameExpression as the first node as a QualifiedExpression allows the
qualifier handling to consider Name in one less spot, an incremental
simplification. However, the additional complexity caused by this makes
me split ApplyNameQualifier/ApplyExpressionQualifier in order to avoid
repeat checks of the parse node's kind. The logic is still largely
shared, thus a couple helper functions. I think this is all fairly well
structured in the isolated class.
I can see that we may want to avoid passing SemanticsContext as an
argument in the future if it elides a step of lookup.
This adds a distinction between Unused and SoloParseNode, rather than
equating the two. This is intended to help identify nodes which are
getting pushed but maybe don't need to be.
Not totally done because I want to adjust declaration name handling due
to a quirk with how it mixes Name with Expression, but almost done. Once
that's done the type punning will be completely gone.
I think there's more we can do here, but this seemed like a good
checkpoint to make sure the path I'm going down is roughly what you
expected. There's one actual edit in if expression structure to match
the increased enforcement.
