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.

Previously, IR generated for the computation of the return type ended up
in the package's node block. Put it with the IR for the parameters for
consistency and cleanliness.
This removes BindName, putting name information directly on VarStorage.
As a side-effect of updating semantics_ir_test for this change, I also
noted that function bodies were being generated as invalid YAML so am
fixing that (just `{}` to `[]` bracketing, otherwise the test wouldn't
work anymore).
Because names are now available, I've updated lowering to use them for
vars.
In the SemIR formatter, the name is now repeated because it's a
parameter to VarStorage. I believe this is just default behavior, and
we'd have to special-case VarStorage to remove it because it's automatic
argument printing in action. On the balance, it felt like letting it
print was reasonable.
I've noted in places that the name on VarStorage is expected to be
optional, but am not adding support because I'd have no way of testing
it at present.
Add a textual IR format to the toolchain.
The exact details of the format are somewhat arbitrary right now, and I
expect them to change as we refine the semantics IR model, but at the
moment they're somewhat directly following the current structure of the
IR.
Semantics tests currently test both the "raw" format, which shows the
details of the representation, and the textual format, which is somewhat
higher level. We may want to revisit that decision once the textual
format is a bit more stable, and test only the textual format in most of
these tests, but for now it seems prudent to keep both sets of tests.

Allow interleaving of STDOUT and STDERR check lines. Put STDOUT lines
after the line they're attached to, and STDERR lines before. If no
STDOUT check line is attached to any line, then put them all at the end
of the file instead.
This is intended to better handle the case where stdout contains
unreplaced mentions of line numbers, and also reflects that stdout is
typically a consequence of the test rather than commentary on it, so
placing it after the test seems likely to read better.
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 also makes the filename a reference to the buffer since the line
seems better to have as a reference (versus copying a string per error).
Most tests now have different line deltas due to the extra output, but
the actual errors should overall stay the same.
Some of the error locations look like they could be improved, but this
change is only making it clear where they were before.
Handles tuples (including nested tuples) in the semantic phase of the
tool chain. Does not handle tuple element access yet.

Add validation that every code block in a function is terminated by a sequence of terminating instructions, and that terminators don't appear anywhere else in code blocks.
This required tracking whether we're in a reachable code block. That's done on the fly when we create a new code block; the new `SemanticsNodeBlockId::Unreachable` is used to represent the case where we're not actually creating a code block because we're in unreachable code.
This is just a simplification: I think these different forms are getting in the way more than they're helping, particularly as I was looking into namespace functionality. The handling in semantics can be identical, providing a more uniform behavior.
Add semantic analysis and semantics IR building for `if` expressions, and add the first parts of control flow handling to semantics IR. After discussion with @chandlerc, use [block arguments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single-assignment_form#Block_arguments) to convey values from the two arms of the `if` to the result. For now, only a single block argument is supported, but we should revisit this as we explore more of the requirements of the Semantics IR form.
Functions can now contain multiple code blocks, so grab the entry block up-front instead of assuming the entry block will be at the top of the block stack when we reach the end of function emission.
Add trivial support for `bool` type literal, because without it we can't write testcases.
This shifts logic so that bindings are added to name lookup only after the scope is complete, removing logic around adding/removing/re-adding names in certain scopes.
This does mean that things like a function's forward declaration will need to go through an extra hoop for name conflict checks, because under this approach a function definition does conflict checking when it adds names for the body's use. But, that seems easy to address, and better than the current hoops.
This adds canonicalization of struct types based on their type fields. It obsoletes the current CanImplicitAsStruct because the type ids should now be identical when they're structurally identical; there's only a reason to implicit CanImplicitAsStruct to detect _compatible_ conversions.
The type fields themselves aren't canonicalized because it would need to be done during the first parse, and could yield name conflicts being associated with the wrong location. i.e.:
```
var x: {a: i32, a: i32};
var y: {a: i32, b: i32, a: i32};
```
This should yield two separate name conflict diagnostics pointing at the type fields for each respective line, but if struct type fields were canonicalized then both would point at the first `a: i32` field definition. This isn't expected to be an issue for types because I'm trying to print those, but we may also end up with a "first defined at" situation in some cases (still, less confusing because the type should match). Regardless, I think individual fields gets much more awkward.
This switches types to using SemanticsTypeId instead of SemanticsNodeId, and lowering pre-builds its list of types. The empty tuple type is special-cased because we don't want to emit it unless it's in-use, but as the implicit return for functions, it's frequently used. Callables use invalid to indicate the implicit return, and that seems undesirable to change due to the size increase.
This removes special-casing of empty structs, handling them as just a regular value instead of a builtin. Note the `{} as Type` is still special-cased.
In lowering, removes the test of calling a function using `{}` because it's missing the proper load/store. This setup notices that error whereas the prior worked due to said special-casing. Fixing this will need to be done as part of generally adding loads for variable uses.
This is the first step to refactoring types into a SemanticsTypeId. This only tracks what's in-use, but as a consequence starts funneling type information through in ways similar to how I'd want it to do SemanticsTypeId.
Previously, IR for arguments in calls and struct values was separated out. This merges it back in. Additionally, parameters for functions and struct types had their own IR; the block is still there, but there's a TODO to decide what to do with it.
In the LLVM IR, this has the consequence of emitting expressions that are inputs to a call or struct value within the scope of the function, which is pretty much where it should be. Importantly it happens before the call is encountered.
This change also tinkers with the int and real literal lowering. I'm pretty sure both are still wrong, but was having trouble figuring out a "better" way to do it, and this seems like it'll work for now.
The intent of this change is that instead of paths looking like `explorer/testdata/foo/bar.carbon` (repo-relative), they're now just `bar.carbon` (local). The consequence is that paths should be a bit more durable in various environments, and just paths should be shorter and easier to read.
The explorer's prelude is an exception to this since it comes from data, rather than being the test target. Due to the change in approaches, it needs the regex again.
Uses #2829
This builds on #2814 by adding the test framework to the toolchain. On Linux, this is 7s -> 4s for me. #2811 has more detailed timing for the explorer, which also had more dramatic changes because it's about 3x more tests run in 2x as many ways (6x total).

This handles the basics of type and value for structs. Structurally, these look like parameters and arguments (respectively) because expressions/generics may result in multiple IR nodes being generated.
Because `{}` needs to be cast to a type for storage, I'm also adding some validation that's not specific to `{}`, e.g. that `1` shouldn't be valid as a type for storage (previously, nothing errored for that).
This adds more stringification of types, particularly literals, because they come up in value errors now.
ImplicitAs is the result of me mulling whether I'm taking the right approach on type conversions. I think it needs to return a value so that if the implicit cast rewrites the value, the result is accessible to the caller. I may reorient the current TryTypeConversion logic to be more based on the ImplicitAs logic.
These changes should make output more stable when builtins are added to semantics. By omitting them from nodes and printing nodes as "relative to the last builtin", I should be able to add and remove builtins without automatically affecting every test. Also by printing builtin nodes as `nodeNameOfBuiltin`, it's a little easier to understand what's going on (for me, at least).
This is starting to build out actual lowering logic, for a really simple `fn Main() -> i32 { return 0; }`
Notes for achieving this:
- In semantics, currently function names are bound separate from the signature. When emitting IR, this turns out to be inconvenient because we want to know the name when we process the declaration and the definition. This change addresses that by merging the name into the FunctionDeclaration node, which is also accessible from the definition. It removes the separate BindName. This should be the cause of all the test changes in semantics, because the IR generated changes.
- Add a "Lowering" class which I'm using to hold the llvm builder state. This class now has minimal support for the SemanticsIR generated by the above example.
- In the "Lowering", values from expressions are stored in a DenseMap. I'll keep thinking about whether there's a cleaner way to achieve this, and I'd call it a temporary solution for now. However, this is how the `0` in `return 0` gets properly associated across SemanticsIR instructions, and it'll frequently be an issue in less trivial cases.
This adds tracking of call information plus basic type checking. It adds a builtin for the empty tuple, mainly so that I have the basis for a default function return type.
As an aside, it also unifies printing within SemanticsIR, fixing a missing comma after callables.
