I've been mulling this mainly for the parameter complexity of
check/lower, but doing lex/parse for symmetry.
I'm motivated by the plan to move dumping for all of them into the
respective functions, because of discussion about llvm-verifier. That
basically would add another bool parameter (or more) to each of these.
My instinct is we're going to probably accrue a little more over time,
so I'm suggesting this as maybe adding the boundary a little simpler
and/or easier to read.
Note it may make sense to refactor a little further, e.g. maybe
Lower::Context could receive the full set of options and pick out what
it wants, but I figured creating the struct itself would be a decent
start.
I'm trying to put things into options when we can produce a reasonable
default if the user doesn't assign a value. I'm using an explicit
constructor so that values can be added without affecting every caller.
A different factoring would be to pass in everything through the param
struct, but that just felt weird when I was trying it out.
Removing `inst_namer` and `module_name` from `LowerToLLVM` params --
both of these can be inferred from `sem_ir`, and I'm not seeing a
particular reason to maintain them at the call site.
The current behavior hits UBSAN and ASAN issues.
Note, `RequiresNullTerminator` is already set to `false` in
`source_buffer.cpp`; setting it in `compile_helper.cpp` is making things
more consistent. The related logic is an [assert
fail](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/lib/Support/MemoryBuffer.cpp#L52).
This was fuzzer-discovered.
What this really does is avoids shadowing names, so that we can
comfortable have things like `Check::DiagnosticEmitter` or
`Check::DiagnosticLoc` without shadowing being a concern.
Note, down this path I'm also thinking about:
- Renaming misc DiagnosticConsumer/DiagnosticEmitter classes, possibly
just to DiagnosticConsumer/DiagnosticEmitter (so
`Check::DiagnosticEmitter` instead of `SemIRLocDiagnosticEmitter`).
- Dropping `Diagnostic` from `Emitter::DiagnosticBuilder`.
- But not for `Check::DiagnosticBuilder`, because `Check::Builder` would
be ambiguous.
- Renaming diagnostics/diagnostic_* to drop "diagnostic".
[Discussion about SemIRLoc ->
DiagnosticLoc](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/655578254970716160/1353771570463768698)
reminded me of this (in particular the older [Check::DiagnosticBuilder
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/655578254970716160/1344363562608627763)),
but I'd only do that rename if there's matching consensus about a path
forward where we keep SemIRLoc, and in a way that it's only ever used
for diagnostics (the divergence from which is at the root of current
LocId discussion).
I'm trying to keep that separate from a namespace addition for clarity.
This rejects type literals with more digits than we can lex without
APInt's help, and using a custom diagnostic. This is a pretty arbitrary
implementation limit, I'm wide open to even more strict rules here.
Despite no special casing and a very simplistic approach, by not using
APInt this completely eliminates the lexing overhead for `i32` in the
generated compilation benchmark where that specific type literal is very
common. We see a 10% improvement in lexing there:
```
BM_CompileAPIFileDenseDecls<Phase::Lex>/256 39.0µs ± 4% 34.8µs ± 2% -10.86% (p=0.000 n=19+20)
BM_CompileAPIFileDenseDecls<Phase::Lex>/1024 180µs ± 1% 158µs ± 2% -12.22% (p=0.000 n=18+20)
BM_CompileAPIFileDenseDecls<Phase::Lex>/4096 731µs ± 2% 641µs ± 1% -12.31% (p=0.000 n=18+20)
BM_CompileAPIFileDenseDecls<Phase::Lex>/16384 3.20ms ± 2% 2.86ms ± 2% -10.47% (p=0.000 n=18+19)
BM_CompileAPIFileDenseDecls<Phase::Lex>/65536 13.8ms ± 1% 12.4ms ± 2% -9.78% (p=0.000 n=18+19)
BM_CompileAPIFileDenseDecls<Phase::Lex>/262144 64.0ms ± 2% 58.4ms ± 2% -8.70% (p=0.000 n=19+18)
```
This starts to fix a TODO in the diagnostic for these by giving a
reasonably good diagnostic about a very large type literal. However, in
practice it regresses the diagnostics because error tokens produce noisy
extraneous diagnostics from parse and check currently. Leaving the TODO
there, and I have a follow-up PR to start improving the extraneous
diagnostics.
Note in particular that this fixes an issue where SharedValueStore had
been shared across files, when they should be per-file. This is only
visible when doing multiple compilations in a single test, which was
rare before.
This also moves these tests into the Testing namespace. My memory of the
various namespacing changes is that we'd generally agreed to have tests
in Testing so that we'd see SemIR:: and similar, same as we would in a
lot of the implementation.
