When we do member access `x.F` we attempt to look into the type of `x`
for `F`. If `x` is a facet, we look at its FacetType to find `F`. We
want `facet` and `facet as type` expressions to be generally treated as
equivalent, so we need to get at the "canonical facet value" of `x` in
order to look into its type. Add a new operation that allows us to
preserve the non-canonical `base_id` in the member access for
diagnostics if no conversion to a canonical facet value was needed.
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).
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.
Part of #5915
Generalize the f64 support to support other sizes. Also provide interop
support for `float`, `_Float16`, and `__float128`.
Also lay some groundwork for non-standard floating-point types, though
we don't have any syntax to name them yet.
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 `()`.
Incidentally also supports import of pointers-to-pointers.
Imported const-qualified types aren't especially useful just yet,
because on the Carbon side we don't yet permit conversions from
non-const to const types, so most of the tests still fail, but for
different reasons now.
The goal was/is to reduce the overhead for vtables in generics - the
previous representation/prior to this patch caused a new vtable to be
created in every specific which isn't generally what we want for Carbon
generics (the whole specific/generic thing is meant to avoid creating
specific versions for things that can be a generic form parameterized by
a specific instead of manifest as a unique entity per specific)
So this moves vtables to a top level object (like functions, classes,
etc). Each dynamic class will have a vtable in this list.
Classes have a `vtable_ptr` instruction in them that points to the
vtable.
The actual generic support hasn't been implemented in this patch, as
I've been struggling with just getting this part of the migration going
& wanted to get it flushed out before adding the additional
complications.
It's possible more laziness when doing cross-file importing would be
suitable - for instance if we only need to reference the vtable from
another file, but don't need to know its individual contents, it may be
beneficial for the functions in the vtable to be import_refs (or to add
another layer of indirection - so it can be a single import_ref
all-or-nothing for the functions in the vtable).

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. :)

Use TypeInstId in many more places where the instruction is required
to/known to always be a type value. This should be a somewhat exhaustive
set of places, as it covers all instructions given to
GetTypeIdFromTypeInstId().
The things of interest here are:
- Singleton instructions are always of type TypeType, so they are now
TypeInstIds.
- ErrorInst::SingletonInstId gets upcast to be an InstId because it's
sometimes used to define the type of a variable (as in `auto inst_id =
SemIR::ErrorInst::SingletonInstId;` that may hold other InstIds.
- Parse nodes don't really know about TypeInstId, so NodeStack::Push
needs to do some special casing to avoid CHECK failures when given a
TypeInstId but expecting an InstId. We leave a TODO behind here because
the nodes which are being pushed a TypeInstId should probably be taught
to expect that, but such a change is a bit tricky, so too much for this
PR.
TypeInstId is an InstId whose constant value has a type of TypeType.
This includes:
- Type value instructions, the `ClassType` or `IntLiteralType`
instructions.
- Constraint value instructions, which are the `FacetType` and
`TypeType` instructions, each of which also have type TypeType.
TypeInstId encodes in the type system that it is safe to convert the
instruction's value to a TypeId, and CHECKs at construction that this
invariant is maintained.

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`.
This gives a slightly simpler representation for `UnboundElementType`s
in eval blocks, and in principle allows us to preserve the spelling of a
field's type into the `UnboundElementType` and thereby into a field
reference, although as of right now this doesn't affect our diagnostic
output in any way.
During error recovery for a field with a non-concrete type, preserve the
type in the `UnboundElementType` regardless. It's not really problematic
to have a non-concrete type there, and this makes it easier to track the
instruction used to specify the type.
This is a step towards switching symbolic types to always be abstract
during type checking.
Instead of storing a `TypeId` that always refer to a facet type that
always contains exactly a single interface, store the interface
directly.
Also improve stringification of `LookupImplWitness` and witness access
into it, switching to using newly-added functionality for stringifying
specific interfaces.
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.

* Add `RequireCompleteFacetType` and `ResolveFacetTypeImplWitness` to
`check::Context`. Goal was to move code from `impl.cpp` (mostly) without
functional changes.
* Complete type information is cached with the facet type, and is stored
in a `complete_facet_types()` table.
* Main functional change is to diagnose attempts to use a rewrite
constraint on an associated function. Some existing diagnostics have
been updated.
* Remove `check::Context::RequireDefinedType`:
* For class types, use `RequireCompleteType`
* For facet types, use `RequireCompleteFacetType`
* Introduce a `SemIR::SpecificInterface` to hold an interface and
specific id pair.
* Keep the specific interface ids in the impl object.
* Avoid some extra copies in `Dump` functions.
* Future work missing from this PR:
* Resolving for member access or actions that require impl lookup.
* Resolving rewrites constraints that refer to non-concrete values.
* Any support for adding implied constraints that result from a `where`
clause (though TODOs have been added).

This creates a new check/type.h for most logic, and also moves some
functions to TypeStore in sem_ir/type.h. My approach for TypeStore is to
focus on moving the read-only functions there.
