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.

See #6588 and the review history of this PR for background.

Richard Smith 935ccce2a6 Fix lowering of imported global variables. (#6567)
*   When a C++ static data member is imported, evaluate its address to a
    constant like we would for a namespace-scope variable.
*   When an imported variable is used in a way that doesn't require its
    type to be complete, emit the variable with an opaque type instead
    of skipping it (and potentially crashing later).

Add a `CppWitness` and use it instead of using `ImplWitness` with an

simpler because we never need a `SpecificId`.

Richard Smith c77eebd15e Cache final impl lookup results. (#6452)
If an impl lookup finds a final result, cache that and reuse it if we
perform the same lookup later.

In addition to reducing repeated work, this allows us to produce the
same result for repeated lookups that find a C++ operator. This isn't a
great solution to that problem, as it's not clear how to extend it to
behave correctly across import, but we don't have a solution for that
for C++ interop in general.

Jon Ross-Perkins 93a8c5230c Ensure a symbolic final impl has a definition produced (#6236)
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.

Dana Jansens 5ae5170421 Allow deduction of tuple and struct literals as symbolic generic facet types (#6365)
Give TupleLiteral and StructLiteral a constant value, if their contents
have constant values. Their constant values are TupleValue and
StructValue respectively. This supports their ability to convert to a
constant type (or facet type).

This way when deduce finds a TupleLiteral as the argument to a
_symbolic_ facet type, it can also find a constant value to use for that
argument. This allows deduction to move onto step two, where it can
substitute into the symbolic parameter from previous deduced arguments,
and then perform the conversion from the TupleValue to the desired facet
type.

Allow `PerformBuiltinConversion()` to convert from a canonical
TupleValue or StructValue to `type` instead of only from literals. Then,
also support conversion from a symbolic binding of type TupleType or
StructType to `type`.

Dana Jansens ca3f95faa6 Make named constraint eval to a FacetType with itself in it (#6308)
This requires declared FacetTypes to hold NamedConstraintIds (along with
a specific) that are named in an extend or impls requirement. We add
support to stringify and formatter to display the named constraints in
the facet type, and special case when a facet type contains a single
extend named constraint, like we did for a single extend interface.

This means that `RequireIndentifiedFacetType` can now fail, if the facet
type contains a forward-declared named constraint. Add the appropriate
diagnostics for each call to this function, and note the ones that
should change to `RequireCompleteFacetType` in the future with TODOs.

We also add tests for using facet types that can or can't be identified,
or completed, with named constraints in them.

2025-10-28 17:17:38 +00:00
Geoff Romer 09710d102f Separate binding insts for refs and values (#6235)
This resolves a TODO in `expr_info.cpp` by using the inst kind rather
than the bound value to track the binding's category.

Since we're churning all the `bind_name` insts in testdata anyway, I'm
also taking this opportunity to align the inst naming with the design's
terminology, by calling these insts "bindings" (this aspect of the PR is
dependent on #6231 resolving an ambiguity in that terminology). For
consistency we'll need to rename several other insts as well (see the
TODO on `RefBinding`); I'm deferring that to a separate PR to minimize
the review load, but I think those name changes are in-scope for this
review.

Dana Jansens 22580a47d3 Initial support for empty named constraints (#6245)
Type check named constraint decls and definitions. We don't correctly
error if you put a `fn` inside them. There is no support for `require`
or `alias` yet, so there's nothing useful you can do with them yet.

We have attempted to share code between `interface` and `constraint` as
they are quite similar. First by splitting out some of
handle_interface.cpp to a separate file. Second by sharing some code
paths when you want a facet type from either one, as they both turn into
a facet type.

Jon Ross-Perkins b1f734e1cd Switch EvalLookupSingleImplWitness from "concrete" to "final" terminology (#6246)
A `final impl` can have a symbolic witness, but that witness is still
final. Using "final" here per discussion on
[#generics-and-templates](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/941071822756143115/1428851511672312120).

I'm also changing the variant a little because `concrete_witness` was
only called when `has_concrete_value` was true, so it can be more
careful about its contract. Having a more explicit `None` also
simplifies `has_value`. I think it doesn't change the overall cost much
past that.

Dana Jansens fe020ee08b Make FacetAccessType evaluate to SymbolicBindingType for type-of a BindSymbolicName (#6115)
The SymbolicBindingType refers to the type value that will be
substituted in for the BindSymbolicName, but holds onto the EntityNameId
from the BindSymbolicName instead of (or in addition to, for now) the
instruction.

The EntityNameId will be used to look in the ScopeStack to find the
witnesses either from the BindSymbolicName instruction, or other
instructions that specify `impls` constraints against the EntityName.

This will allow us to have the `T` in `I(T)` resolve to a `.Self`
reference in the type so that we get type equality with the binding's
type: `T:! I(.Self)`.

Dana Jansens e3b4482893 Make the GetCanonicalFacetOrTypeValue operation more crisp (#6157)
Previously it performed two kinds of operations, with a boolean
parameter to control whether it would unwrap FacetValue or not. This
made the function hard to explain as "canonicalization".

Now the contract of GetCanonicalFacetOrTypeValue is as follows:
1. For a facet value expression, it returns the canonical value of the
facet value.
2. For a `<facet value> as type` it returns the canonical value of the
`<facet value>`.
3. For other type expressions, it returns the canonical value of the
type.

1 and 2 together collapse together two representations of a facet value
(as a FacetType or as a TypeType) into a single canonical value, which
is important for constant comparison of facet values where the `as type`
is not meant to change the result. This is the case in impl lookups and
`.Self` comparisons.

The step of unwrapping `FacetValue` is only useful in the constant
evaluation of `LookupImplWitness` and is used to collapse *symbolic*
queries on `FacetValue(T)` and on `T` down to a single canonical value,
since they produce the same result later when `T` is replaced with a
facet value or type that can provide a concrete witness. This is now
extensively documented in the constant evaluation of
`LookupImplWitness`.

This change came out of a request/discussion in #6115 (see comment
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/6115#discussion_r2383696576).

Dana Jansens 0c761a9a78 Find the builtin TypeCanAggregateDestroy in the FacetType for facet values (#6119)
When doing impl lookup with a constraint facet type including the
builtin `TypeCanAggregateDestroy`, we look at the type to see if it
satisfies it. However if the type is a facet value, we need to look at
the FacetType to see if the eventual concrete type is going to satisfy
it.

Note that we can do this check up front in the `LookupImplWitness()`
function without creating a symbolic instruction to be modified by
future specifics with a more precise type for the facet value, because
the result of `TypeCanAggregateDestroy` does not actually provide a
witness, so we don't need the final specific type.

This was noticed by removing the "shortcut" in convert for converting a
`FacetAccessType(<symbolic binding>)` to `typeof(<symbolic binding>)`.
By removing the shortcut, we go into impl lookup when checking `impl`
decls containing `TypeCanAggregateDestroy` via deduce.

Dana JansensandRichard Smith 82679e6689 Make BindSymbolicName the canonical form of a FacetValue wrapping the BindSymbolicName (#6107)
If a `BindSymbolicName` is converted to `type` and then to its exact
`FacetType`, we get a `FacetValue` wrapping the `BindSymbolicName` but
providing no different information: it has the same witnesses and
`FacetType` as the original `BindSymbolicName`. Yet it is a different
constant value, creating multiple canonical forms with the same meaning.
Now we make that `FacetValue` with the same `FacetType` as the
`BindSymbolicName` it wraps evaluate back to the `BindSymbolicName`,
making it the unique canonical form.

This makes the "shortcut" in convert for avoiding impl lookup when
converting from `FacetAccessType` to `FacetType` in this exact scenario
work the same as doing the full impl lookup.

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.

Dana Jansens 3d77c4441b Compare ImplWitnessAccess into Self as canonical constants (#5883)
This makes all `.Self` references in a facet type canonically the same
(which will remain true iff they refer to the same `Self` type in the
future), removing the need to do more complex comparisons between them
using the EntityName, interface, and index. This allows the comparison
of types containing `.Self` references to be done correctly regardless
of where the `.Self` appears, as such type expressions will all be
canonically equal if they otherwise equal now, regardless of whether
they are written in the context where `.Self` could have seen different
`Self` facet types.

In order to retain access to constraints on a base `.Self` facet type,
in the case of applying `where` to an existing facet type, we:
- Give the base facet type as a `RequirementBaseFacetType` constraint so
that eval of `WhereExpr` can find and copy all the constraints off of
it.
- Introduce eager/early rewrite constraint resolution, which allows a
constraint to eagerly resolve access to earlier rewrite constraints
(`where .A = () and .B = .A` is eagerly transformed into `where .A = ()
and .B = ()`) before the full constraint resolution step. This allows
use of rewrite constraints in larger type expressions, such as `where .A
= () and .B = C(.A)` and `C` will know that the argument is `()`.

Jon Ross-Perkins 0722dab0ef Reimplement destroy as an interface (#5678)
This changes `Destroy` to use an interface for its implementation.

Note that this change includes a lot of test updates. Even when
`Destroy` is a no-op, it still causes code generation as part of
determining that.

Originally I was trying to use ranges to cut down the scope of this, and
to a degree I think they have. But a flipside here is that cases where
no destructors should be generated -- particularly globals -- would be
needed to completely remove destructor calls. Even for ranges, the range
can often include the destructor placement. So I've shifted
frame-of-thought a little: accept a bunch of destructor churn, because
destructors are needed and will be prevalent. The verbosity is a feature
of the design to make desugaring apparent in IR, not a bug.

Dana Jansens 2b7c75d8a5 Avoid incorrect conflicting assignment diags in rewrite constraints (#5686)
When building a FacetType from an existing FacetType, don't diagnose
rewrite constraints that are compatible with the existing FacetType.

To do this, we consider two RHS as identical[1] if they have the same
constant value after substituting from available rewrite constraints in
the being-constructed FacetType, since the syntactic representation of
the RHS is lost during eval.

[1]
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yt-i5AmF76LSvD4TrWRIAE_92kii6j5yFiW-S7ahzlg/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.qti4vn50zwy

Dana Jansens 517bec24ef Nested facets (#5644)
Given a facet type: `(Z where .X = .Y) where .X =.Y`

The rewrite constraints in the inner facet type are each an
`ImplWitnessAccess` into a witness for the self of type `Z` (which is
the facet type before the `where`). The rewrite constraints in the outer
facet type are each an `ImplWitnessAccess` for the self of type `Z where
.X = .Y`, which is a different self facet type.

This means when deduping in canonicalization, the first `.X` and the
second `.X` are different instructions, and different constant values,
so they both remain in the rewrite constraints, incorrectly. Then if the
outer `.X` is allowed to evaluate to a value from its facet type, it
finds `.Y` resulting in `.Y = .Y` which is also incorrect.

Because of the failure to dedupe the first facet type, that is also
diagnosed as two different assignments to the same `.X`. To resolve
that, we introduce `CompareFacetTypeConstraintValues()` compare values
in facet type constraints, and treat accesses to the same associated
constant in the same facet value as `equivalent` even when through
different witnesses. This allows us to dedupe the two `.X = .Y` rules
into one in the combined facet type.

Given a different facet type: `(Z where .X = ()) where .X = {}`. Here we
want to diagnose that `.X` has been assigned two different values. To do
so, we need to see that the two `.X` values are the same, and we use
`CompareFacetTypeConstraintValues()` to do this comparison. Then we see
two rewrite rules for the same LHS, and we can diagnose that.

We enable evaluating `ImplWitnessAccess` on `.Self` to pull a value from
rewrite constraints in a facet type so that we can see that we are not
incorrect evaluating the LHS of rewrite constraints and producing
cycles. By doing so, also enable generic code to see and use concrete
values in associated constants in facet types.

a23631f360 Support for lowering references to imported vars. (#5513)
Previously we walked the global variables defined by the current file
and emitted an LLVM global variable definition for each of them. Now
instead, when emitting a constant reference to a global variable, we
emit an LLVM global variable declaration, and we then subsequently walk
the global variables defined by the current file and convert each of
them from a declaration to a definition.

In order to make import of names of global variables work, add support
for import of `var`, as well as support for importing `tuple_access` and
`tuple_pattern` in the case where the `var` has a tuple pattern in its
declaration. Also treat `bind_name`s that are reference bindings to
`var`s as having the same constant reference value as their `var` so
that we can properly import and lower them.

Dana JansensandJon Ross-Perkins 315e206ff1 Construct LocId from InstId directly (explicitly) instead of doing lookups when possible (#5355)
Remove calls to `InstStore::GetLocId()` to build a LocId from an InstId
now that they can be constructed directly from the InstId. Most uses of
LocId are just plumbing, so this does not affect them. However places
that want to look inside the LocId do not want to work with the InstId
form. In these places, introduce `InstStore::GetResolvedLocId()` which
converts a LocId (or an InstId as an optimization) into a LocId which is
not backed by an InstId. These locations can be printed (they have a
line and column when they are a NodeId), they can have flags added to
them (`ToImplicit`, `ToTokenOnly`), they can be converted to an
underlying ImportIRInstId, or they may be `None`.

`Dump()` is made to print a resolved location instead of printing the
InstId in the location, since (at least in my experience) the resolved
location is what is interesting in debugging, and this saves manual
`MakeInstId` steps in the debugger every time a location is of interest.

The LocId constructor from InstId is made `explicit` to add clarity to
function calls passing an `inst_id` now directly instead of calling
`context.insts().GetLocId(inst_id)`. To avoid needing to construct
`SemIR::LocId(...)` explicitly in all cases though, the diagnostics code
in Check uses `DiagnosticLocId` as its template parameter which accepts
InstId as well and does the construction of LocId from it.

Because LocId now requires an explicit construction from InstId, any
callers to `AddInst()` functions will have to explicitly convert to
LocId if they had an InstId, but not if they pass a NodeId. To make this
difference clear to callers, we `requires` that the input type can be
converted to LocId. This ensures that passing an InstId results in an
error at the callsite where the InstId is passed, instead of generating
a compiler error when trying to construct `LocIdAndInst` inside
`AddInst()`, which is less clear about what went wrong and doesn't seem
entirely intentional.

51498547c9 Always use LookupImplWitness instructions for symbolic witnesses (#5321)
We eliminate the `FacetAccessWitness` instruction, which would sometimes
immediately evaluate to a concrete `ImplWitness`, and sometimes remain
symbolic. This instruction is now replaced by `LookupImplWitness` in all
cases. To support the same use cases, when it is evaluated,
`LookupImplWitness` will look in the self value if it's a facet value,
and attempt to return a concrete `ImplWitness` from it before looking
for an `impl` statement.

The `LookupImplWitness` instruction's value is now canonical, even when
it evaluates to a symbolic `LookupImplWitness` instruction, by
canonicalizing the self value of the lookup query. This canonicalization
unwraps `FacetAccessType` and `FacetValue` instructions to get to an
underlying canonical facet value. However we must preserve and use the
non-canonical query while evaluating the instruction in order to look
for a concrete `ImplWitness` if the query self value was a concrete
`FacetValue`. The canonicalization ensures that symbolic witnesses
obtained from a facet value are compatible with those obtained from an
impl statement, as long as the self types originate from the same
canonical facet value though they may have been narrowed.

Member access now unconditionally does a `LookupImplWitness()`
operation, instead of only sometimes doing the lookup for a final impl
declaration.

`EvalImplLookupResult` is marked `[[nodiscard]]` so that we don't
construct it and forget to return it. This was a mistake made at one
point during the creation of this PR. And the `has_concrete_value()`
method no longer has a precondition that `has_value()` is true, since we
want to look for a concrete result only in the new use of
`EvalImplLookupResult` returned from lookup into the query self facet
value.

The TODO from `FacetAccessWitness` evaluation is addressed by ensuring
the index of the witness in the `FacetValue` comes from the required
interfaces of the `FacetValue`'s type, and that the type (a `FacetType`)
is the same facet type used in the query to construct the `FacetValue`'s
witness block. This is made possible by eliminating the
`FacetAccessWitness` indirection. The lookup into a `FacetValue` happens
while evaluating `LookupImplWitness` and it does so directly on the self
value. This gives a consistent view of the witness set and the facet
type, as they both come from the same instruction.

All of this with 400 less lines of code. :)

Richard Smith 89c9714825 Fix handling of member types of generic classes. (#5332)
Instead of evaluating a non-parameterized class or interface to a
constant with `SpecificId::None`, use the self specific for that class
or interface, which will not be `None` if there is an enclosing generic.

Jon Ross-Perkins 4923445e3a Drop Singleton from ErrorInst::SingletonInstId and similar (#5304)
We frequently want to operate on singletons. Per discussion, drop
`Singleton` to make the code shorter.

This started off as wanting to write `inst_id.is_error()`, but the
dependency relationship between ids.h and singleton_insts.h would
require some kind of delayed evaluation to allow the implementation to
remain in headers (which I suspect is helpful to have for inlining). I
could have added something like `IsErrorInst`, forward declared in ids.h
and defined in singleton_insts.h (which would always be included by
typed_insts.h), but the template approach felt like a decent balance
between (a) removing the boilerplate `::SingletonInstId`, (b)
understandability, (c) still visually mirroring if we immediately return
a singleton, and (d) flexibility for more than just `ErrorInst`. But TBH
I'd probably still have written `is_error()` if it didn't require
addressing the cross-header cycle.

Then I tried `SemIR::InstId::Is<SemIR::ErrorInst>`, which generally
worked with types but generated the complaint that it didn't shorten
*all* singleton uses. So pulling back on `::Is`, and instead just
dropping `Singleton`.

Dana JansensandRichard Smith 0e8d354567 Split the witness table into a separate ImplWitnessTable instruction (#5272)
This allows us to import the table for a given impl only once, while we
can import many ImplWitness instructions with different specifics for a
generic impl.

For example in convert_facet_value_to_narrowed_facet_type.carbon we see
that a single witness table is imported for the BitAnd interface, with
multiple witnesses (for different specifics) imported and sharing the
same table.

The ImplWitnessTable now contains a back-link to the Impl the witness is
for, allowing inst namer to name that interface in the textual semir,
and allowing the interface to be found when debugging from a witness.

Richard Smith a74ca9071b Remove all remaining uses of TypeIds as instruction operands. (#5280)
In preparation for shifting from `TypeId`s potentially representing
attached types to always representing unattached types, using
[terminology suggested on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/963846118964350976/1359286326779973712).
This change causes us to track slightly more type spelling information
through SemIR.

One change that has significant impact on the SemIR output is that we
now build a `struct_type` instruction in each class representing the
types of the fields, including the spelling used for those types. This
is now no longer always identical to the corresponding canonical
`struct_type` for the object representation, so it's built separately
and owned by the class.

Also remove `TypeBlock` support entirely, as its only use was
representing `TupleType`s, which now use an `InstBlock`.

Dana Jansens d07f70cfb3 Add insts for witness table entries that are unset or associated constants (#5255)
Instead of using None, use an explicit ImplWitnessTablePlaceholder in
the witness table for entries that have not yet been populated, to aid
debugging. This would ensure they would show up very clearly in the
SemIR. This uncovered some `<invalid>` in the SemIR under erroneous
conditions that have now been turned into `<error>`.

Add the ImplWitnessAssociatedConstant instruction which wraps the
canonical instruction found from the constant value of the rewrite
constraint. This ensures that we have an instruction inside the eval
block for a generic impl declaration for each rewrite constraint's
value, which allows Subst to be performed to rewrite the symbolic
constant of the ImplWitnessAssociatedConstant instruction to associate
it with the generic. This will prevent the otherwise orphaned symbolic
constant of the rewrite's value from being used which can not have a
specific applied to them.

While applying the new insts in InitialFacetTypeImplWitness(), rearrange
the function to use less nesting. And avoid using entity names from
imported instructions (as we found is not effective in deduce.cpp) and
use a local instruction by going through the constant value.

This PR is part of the effort to allow a rewrite to name a generic
parameter, such as `impl forall [T:! type] T as Z where .X = T`, however
tests for this involve a final impl so that we can typecheck that the .X
value is a specific T, so the tests will come with that work. This piece
is split off because introducing new instructions causes a lot of SemIR
churn, and I wanted to get that done separately.

Richard Smith 0631e18184 Provide an InstId when evaluating a constant in cases where one is needed (#5202)
For each kind of instruction, specify whether its constant evaluation
needs an `InstId` or not. If it does, ensure that all constant
evaluation of that instruction provides one. Otherwise, allow calling
into the evaluator without providing an `InstId`.

This allows us to reliably use the `InstId` in evaluation steps that
either need a location or need to look at the original operands of the
instruction prior to evaluation, and also to support `TryEvalInst` calls
safely for instructions whose evaluation does not need an `InstId`.

Richard SmithandDana Jansens bba32900c3 Preserve type sugar in ArrayType, ConstType, and PointerType. (#5235)
Each of these types takes another type as an operand. Instead of storing
that other type as a `TypeId`, store it as an `InstId` so that we can
track how it was written, not only its canonical form.

The canonical constant values of these types continue to store the
canonical constant values of their operands, as normal.

bc439ad092 Forward impl declarations of incomplete facet types (#5219)
Implements some of the changes from proposal #5168.

* The data structure for complete facet types has been repurposed for
identified facet types. Identified facet types are now a concept in the
toolchain, but without named constraint support they are not
substantially different from incomplete facet types.
* Identified facet types keep the list of required specific interfaces
in sorted order, for efficiency improvements in impl lookup. Found
another way to identify the interface to impl (or number of impls if not
1).
* Forward `impl` declarations of identified but incomplete facet types
are allowed unless the facet type has rewrites. An incomplete facet type
with rewrites is already either an error or has more than one interface
and so can't be implemented, so this case can't be exercised very well
yet.
* Forward `impl` declarations of interface without rewrites use a
placeholder inst block for the witness.
* Changed some machinery to use RequireIdentifiedFacetType to access the
interfaces of the facet type so we only need to add support for
expanding named constraints into interfaces in one place.

Dana Jansens 3469922275 Rename ImplSymblicWitness to LookupImplWitness (#5201)
The instruction does act somewhat like a witness, saying that an impl
does exist for a lookup, but the instruction more concretely represents
an impl lookup - since that is done when it is evaluated.

Dana JansensandJon Ross-Perkins 53c98a8619 Support specialization in impl lookup with a symbolic query/impl. (#5169)
Add a new instruction called ImplSymbolicWitness which represents a
search for an impl declaration given a self type and an interface to
find implemented for the self type. The self type is stored as a
constant instruction id, rather than as a ConstantId, as instructions
don't currently support holding ConstantId. The interface is stored as a
SpecificInterface but we can't fit all of it directly into the
instruction. So we add a new id to refer to the SpecificInterface as
follows.

Add a new SpecificInterfaceId which indexes into a canonical value store
on SemIR::File. This tracks all `SpecificInterface`s stored in an
instruction - specifically the ImplSymbolicWitness instruction.

The SpecificInterface on Impl is still stored there as a value, not as
an id, and no id is eagerly constructed for it. We wait until an id is
needed to make one. Since they are canonical, a new id is only create
when a new SpecificInterface value is seen.

When doing impl lookup, and the query is not concrete, and the impl is
not effectively final, the query needs to consider future impls that may
specialize either the self type or the constaint to make a more precise
match and replace the found impl declaration. Instead of returning the
ImplWitness instruction from the found impl, we generate a
ImplSymbolicWitness instruction, storing the query so that it can be
replayed later. This instruction is added to the generic eval block and
thus will be re-evaluated later with a SpecificId that may make the
query more concrete. When evaluating the instruction and replaying the
query, the lookup has the same conditions and if it does not decide to
use the found impl concretely, then the same instruction is returned
from eval, leaving it as symbolic.

--- Impl lookup changes ---

Impl lookup gets a little more interesting now. It continues to look in
the facet value for a witness if the self type is a facet value. Then
falls back to looking for an impl declaration. This step is no longer
done directly. Instead, we construct a ImplSymbolicWitness instruction
and evaluate it immediately for each interface that are in the query
facet type.

The ImplSymbolicWitness instruction, when evaluated, calls back to the
impl lookup code, with a query specific interface. There we resume back
into the same code path as from before, finding a witness in an impl
declaration. But we may return "found a non-final impl" instead of a
concrete witness. If eval receives this back, it evaluates to the
current ImplSymbolicWitness instruction as the resulting constant value.

To pass lookup failures back through eval, a result of InstId::None from
the second step of impl lookup will result in a non-constant value,
which is used as a signal back up the stack to the original impl lookup
function that the lookup failed. Using a non-constant value here would
break evaluation of the generic eval block if impl lookup could fail
there, however we know it will not since we only leave behind an
ImplSymbolicWitness instruction in the eval block if we found at least
one matching impl already, and we just want to look for a better match
with a more specific query.

We must take care to not store a reference into any value store across
computation in impl lookup, since impl lookup can recurse into itself
invalidate those stores. That includes the SpecificInterface obtained
from a SpecificInterfaceId, which impl lookup also inserts into the
store.

--- The long tail ---

Adding a new instruction and a new id type requires a myriad of changes
to support them:

We add Dump() support for SpecificInterfaceId. And fix a crash in Dump
for SpecificId::None. We also add MakeSpecificInterfaceId() for dumping
arbitrary ids.

The type of ImplSymbolicWitness is a new singleton builtin type
instruction called WitnessSymbolicType (like WitnessType is the type for
an ImplWitness).

Both ImplSymbolicWitness and WitnessSymbolicType are given `Value` as
their expression category as they are builtin constant values. And
BuildInfo() in TypeCompleter is taught about them both, returning a
`ValueRepr::Copy`.

WitnessSymbolicType is added to the set of SingletonInstKinds, so that
it can have a singleton instrution id as a static member.

Lower's BuildTypeForInst() is taught to make an empty struct for
WitnessSymbolicType, similar to WitnessType.

Instruction formatter (FormatterImpl) grows support for printing a
SpecificInterfaceId so that it can print both arguments of
ImplSymbolicWitness on the RHS when printing the SemIR instruction. To
print a SpecificInterfaceId, it prints both the interface id and the
specific id (if there is one). For example, for a query on a generic
interface `Z` with one parameter, the RHS includes the query, interface,
and specific:
```
%Z.impl_symbolic_witness: <symbolic witness> = impl_symbolic_witness %U, @Z, @Z(%U.as_type) [symbolic]
```

IdKind is extended to include SpecificInterfaceId.

InstFingerprinter is taught to look through SpecificInterfaceId and use
the interface and specific ids in the fingerprint.

InstNamer is taught about SpecificInterfaceId, counting the interfaces
when building an index. It is also tought about ImplSymbolicWitness,
using the name of the interface within and the `.impl_symbolic_witness`
suffix. For example, here the LHS is named after the interface in the
query:
```
%Z.impl_symbolic_witness: <symbolic witness> = impl_symbolic_witness %U, @Z, @Z(%U.as_type) [symbolic]
```

StringifyTypeExpr is taught about WitnessSymbolicType, which uses its IR
name since it's a singleton. And about ImplSymbolicWitness which uses
its constant value. The handling of ImplWitnessAccess also needed to be
adjusted, since it assumed that ImplWitnessAccess::witness_id would
always be a FacetAccessWitness, but it can now also be an
ImplSymbolicWitness. (It seems that the witness_id is also assigned
ImplWitness instructions, but those ImplWitnessAccess instructions don't
ever seem to get stringified in a diagnostic at this time.) At the
moment the ImplWitnessAccess with a symbolic witness is just stringified
as "<symbolic>", such as in:
```
x.carbon:1:2: error: cannot implicitly convert value of type `()` to `<symbolic>` [ConversionFailure]
  let a: C(D).(Z.X) = ();
                      ^~
```

There is a TODO left behind to include more information there.

The TypeStructure builder is made to handle WitnessSymbolicType and
WitnessType. These come up now in deduce where a generic impl will have
a ImplSymbolicWitness in a FacetValue for a generic self type. The query
may have a concrete ImplWitness in the same position. Since deduce tries
to deduce through the FacetValue, it tries to convert ImplWitness to
ImplSymbolicWitness, tries to do an impl lookup for `impl ImplWitness as
ImplicitAs(ImplSymbolicWitness)` and causes us to build type structures
with each of these.

Subst is updated to handle pushing and popping SpecificInterfaceId.
Without this, when finishing a generic's eval block, we would walk into
the ImplSymbolicWitness instruction, and its arguments, and fail to
recurse down into the SpecificInterfaceId. Then any specifics inside
would be left as "orphaned" without any generic id attached to them, and
we would never update the instructions in the SpecificInterface's
instructions (inside its own SpecificId) with new constant values when
evaluating the generic eval block against a specific. To do this we push
the specific_id inside the SpecificInterface, and when popping we pop
the specific_id then construct a new canonical SpecificInterface with it
and return that id.

We add support for importing ImplSymbolicWitness by importing its self
constant instruction and specific interface id. However we also had to
add import support for SpecificImplFunction, which can now appear in the
generic eval block for a generic impl declaration, and thus must be
imported with the declaration. This is done very similarly to
SpecificFunction, except the `type_id` is a singleton value.

Richard Smith 4d2cca48c7 Compute a correct SpecificFunction when resolving an indirect call to an impl function (#5116)
When performing a call through an impl witness, the callee that we
type-check against is the function in the interface, so we form a
specific for that callee. However, once the impl witness access
resolves, the eventual callee is a different function -- the function in
the impl -- so this would cause us to form a `SpecificFunction` where
the callee is one function but the specific refers to a different
function.

Address this by adding another instruction, `SpecificImplFunction`, that
takes a function in an impl and a specific for the corresponding
function in the interface, and computes and returns a `SpecificFunction`
referring to the corresponding specific function in the impl, or returns
a direct reference to the function in the `impl` if it's not a generic
function.

Dana Jansensandjosh11b 4539114c21 Return a set of ImplWitnesses from impl lookup (#5075)
A query facet type may contain multiple required interfaces, in which
case impl lookup should return an ImplWitness for an impl that is used
for each interface in the query. We bundle these together into an
instruction block and return that from impl lookup. The witnesses are in
the same order as the interfaces in the
`CompleteFacetType::required_interfaces`. This allows walking the
`required_interfaces` to find an interface to give an index that can
also be used to grab a witness from this set, or from FacetValue.

FacetValue now has an InstBlockId for the set of witnesses of the
FacetType, instead of a single ImplWitness instruction id.

FacetAccessWitness includes the index of the witness (determined from
the position in `required_interfaces`) of the witness it's accessing
from the FacetType.

The
toolchain/check/testdata/facet/no_prelude/fail_todo_call_combined_impl_witness.carbon
test demonstrates the fix in the resulting SemIR. We can see the calls
to methods on a multi-interface FacetType result in a FacetAccessWitness
with an index of the correct interface, and this results in a witness
that leads to the correct impl's function.

There is a TODO in member access, where it does not have a
`CompleteFacetType` yet, so it uses the index in
`FacetTypeInfo::impls_constraints` instead, but this can be incorrect in
the presence of named constraints, which when completed can add more
interfaces to the `CompleteFacetType` and which are sorted into an
arbitrary order with the rest there.
