This is already allowed as a builtin conversion, but the impl allows the
generics system to know about it, so that conversions like
`Optional(T*)` to `Optional(const T*)` are allowed. This in turn allows
a C++ `T*` to be implicitly converted to a C++ `const T*` in Carbon
code.
This commit creates an instance for any associated types in an interface
with a custom witness table. This unlocks interfaces designed for C++
interop that rely on arbitrary return types. For example,
`CppUnsafeDeref` becomes usable as of this commit.
This commit may have also implemented support for non-type associated
constants, but since we're lacking a practical test case, they're still
marked as TODO for the time being.

When a `var` is not explicitly given an initializer, initialize it in
one of two ways:
* If its type implements the new interface `Core.Default`, call
`Core.Default.Op` to initialize it.
* Otherwise, if its type implements `UnformedInit`, leave it in an
unformed state. For now, this is always an uninitialized state, but that
will change in the future.
* If neither of those apply, the `var` declaration is ill-formed.
This is a step towards implementing leads decision #6739 and proposals
#257 and #5913.

Iterators, smart pointers, optional, and expected types depend on
`operator*`. This commit adds `CppUnsafeDeref` as a core interface, with
an associated function, so that the compiler can dereference
user-defined C++ types.
Things not implemented in this commit:
* `operator*` overload resolution
* SemIR lowering

Add an `IntFitsIn` interface with a custom witness, such that `T impls
IntFitsIn(U)` if `T` is an integer type all of whose values fit
losslessly into the integer type `U`. Use it to constrain implicit
conversions between integer types.
So far, this has not been extended to the
`CppCompat.[U]{Long32,LongLong64}` types, only to `Core.Int(N)` and
`Core.UInt(N)`.

Implementation of unused pattern bindings #2022, continued.
Whereas previous PR #6460 took care of parsing, and PR #6479 prepared
the stage by using _ in some test cases, this PR has the the actual
implementation, using a simple dataflow analysis.

This pull request adds support for integer-to-char conversion, allowing
the compiler to correctly handle character casting, implementing part of
the issue #5922.
```carbon
import Core library "io";
fn Run() -> i32 {
var i : i32 = 65;
var ch: char = (i as char); // Support implemented!
Core.PrintChar(ch); // Print 'A'
return 0;
}
```

We can now cast directly from `T*` to `U*`; stop going via `void*`. Also
remove the conversion impl from `void*` as it's now subsumed by the
general impl.
Previously we only allowed conversions from `void*` to `U*` this way,
requiring casting via `void*` to get from `T*` to `U*`. That seems like
an unnecessary circumlocution.
Support an implicit conversion from `T*` to `Cpp.void*` and to `const
Cpp.void*`, and an `unsafe as` conversion in the opposite direction.
In order to support C++ calls taking and returning `void*` (which get
mapped to Carbon `Optional(Cpp.void*)`, also support conversions from
`Optional(T)` to `Optional(U)` if there's a conversion from `T` to `U`.
Fix a bug in `OptionalStorage` for `T*` where its `HasValue` was exactly
backwards.
Pursuant to recent decisions on #6124, switch `Destroy` to use a
`CustomWitness` for its implementation. Right now this is manufacturing
no-op implementation functions on each lookup, which obviously isn't
ideal but is intended as a first pass. I'm mostly trying to find the
right balance between updating the approach to reflect new decisions,
while still breaking apart work in a way.
The `CoreInterface` logic is intended to build on `CoreIdentifier`
support. We have a number of additional interfaces that require
specialized logic, and that'll extend pretty far with C++ interop, so it
seemed easiest to have a generic function for it. That's what's
replacing the logic inside C++ interop that was doing string comparisons
(which could have already been moved to `CoreIdentifier`, I just missed
it in my first pass).
This adds `CustomWitness` support because the `Destroy` witnesses can be
imported cross-file. `CustomWitness` was previously only used for C++
types, which don't yet support import, which is why that wasn't
previously an issue. The addition of `query_specific_interface_id` is
similarly needed in order to get correct sorting of witness blocks when
imported.
This PR also removes builtin constraint logic (note this is in a
separate commit to help review; it's not a separate PR because it's
difficult to split apart without tests breaking). This had been made
generic with the expectation that destroy, copy, move, and conversions
would all need related support. Under the new decision, we are not going
to do blanket impls and will instead just manufacture a `CustomWitness`
for everything.
A lot of SemIR fingerprints change, but that's probably because the
addition of `Destroy` on core classes is yielding structural changes.
Previously this was kept in `//toolchain/install` so it would be near to
the code that actually defines the installation layout. However, that
creates somewhat unfortunate dependency cycles between
`//toolchain/install` and other directories. Exacerbating this, a
subsequent PR is likely to add dependencies on it from
`//toolchain/base` itself that suggests that is the correct layering.
This PR just moves the code mechanically with as few other edits as
possible.
This extends #6364 to allow having:
* `Cpp.unsigned_long` as a distinct type when `unsigned long` is 32
bits.
* `Cpp.long_long` and `Cpp.unsigned_long_long` as distinct types when
`long` and `unsigned long` are 64 bits.
Similarly to #6364, we only support implicit conversions from the
matching literal type (`u32`, `i64` and `u64`).
See #6275 for rationale.
Part of #5263.
Following #6357, map C++ `void` to a prelude class type
`Core.CppCompat.VoidBase`, not to a builtin type. This is mostly just
moving logic around, but does notably change `Cpp.void` from being an
incomplete type to being a complete-but-abstract type.
Also change `NullptrT` to be an adapter for `void*` instead of `()*`, to
follow the approved design.
Implicit conversions to `void` and to `void*` are still absent.
Part of #6280.
Add a `Core.CppCompat.NullptrT` type that C++'s `nullptr_t` maps into.
Map `nullptr` to an uninitialized constant of that type -- `nullptr`
doesn't actually have any defined bits within it, despite having the
same representation as `void*`.
If `T` implicitly converts to `U`, then:
* `const T` implicitly converts to `U`,
* `T` implicitly converts to `const U`, and
* `T` implicitly converts to `Optional(U)`.
Switch to using a pair of `MaybeUnformed(T)` and a `bool` as the normal
representation for `Optional(T)`. When `T` is a pointer type, add a
customized representation that uses `MaybeUnformed(T*)`, with a null
representation used for absent values.
This also does a little restructuring in the same direction, following
#6124.
Leads want `Destroy` to work similarly now for all types. As a
consequence, there doesn't seem to be as much benefit to splitting off
aggregate destruction. In this PR, the `type.destroy` function can now
be expected to destroy anything that's destructible; that means it'll be
usable for the `final fn` once that support is available.
Similarly, this gets rid of the impls other than the single blanket
impl, now using `type.can_destroy`. Since they all need to use the same
function, there's no benefit to splitting approaches. Also, now it can
just be a `final impl` since there should be no need for people to
create specializations -- if this blanket impl applies, it means the
`final fn` is the same.
This also slips in `partial` support since there's no reason to have it
diverge anymore. Also `abstract`, which I'm not sure is broadly testable
since most cases it'd come up, the `abstract` keyword is explicitly
detected/rejected.
Note though that this doesn't make any really big changes. It's just
realigning on the leads decision. I'm going this way to try to reduce
name-related churn for other changes.
This is closer to [the
design](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/docs/design/expressions/indexing.md?plain=1#L55-L64),
just lacking `ref`, but does remove a lot of special-casing done for the
lookup.
The `ErrorInst` changes in `Build*Operator` are to align with what was
being done for `IndexWith`; don't do an interface lookup if the relevant
operand is an error. Otherwise, that becomes visible because some files
have an error operand and don't provide the interface.
`fn destroy` is being removed per decision on #6124. It seems like the
relevant decision will result in no more keyword-based function names,
so this is removing all related support.
The main direction of this change is the edits to `destroy.carbon`
(matching in both prelude and min_prelude).
Previously there was a no-op blanket impl for `Destroy`, which hid all
missing implementations of `Destroy`. This does a few things:
- Sets up builtin aggregate destruction for struct and tuple types as
before, but also adds C++ class types and array types to the same
handling. (all as a TODO for actual implementation)
- Also maybe-unformed destruction, for now at least. (there's a chance I
may try a different approach on this, but the impl lookup wasn't working
as I'd hope in order to write it in code)
- Adds handlers for simple things that are easy to do in code: `type`,
`bool`, pointers. (because these are no-op destruction)
- Redirect `const T` destruction to `T` destruction.
This leaves as future issues:
- `partial T` destruction. (this can't be done similar to `const`
because it only works for non-`final` class types; I think `class`
definitions should just generate what's needed)
- Destruction of other prelude-provided types. (will probably come up as
we implement class destruction, that the adapted builtin type doesn't
implement `Destroy` -- but may end up special-casing that in a way that
moots it)
This moves the `&` operator from `facet_types.carbon` to
`convert.carbon` because more things need to handle type and now that
we're getting separate copy and destroy interfaces. It should be
low-cost (an interface and builtin) so hopefully this is the right
balance for complexity and re-use.
A few tests are also edited in order to focus them more on what they
intend to test, and avoid a `Destroy` dependency.
When returning a value from a function whose return type has a by-copy
initializing representation, perform initialization like we do when the
return type has an in-place initializing representation. This makes our
SemIR representation more uniform, as the return expression will now
always be an initializing expression rather than a value expression, but
more importantly it means that attempts to return a non-copyable type by
value now fail, even if the type has a by-copy initializing
representation.
This catches a bunch of places where we were returning a value of an
unconstrained template parameter `T:! type`, which we were incorrectly
allowing because we didn't notice it was not copyable. Unfortunately
this then requires quite a few test updates.
Like #6034, this exposes a lowering issue where lowering crashes when
attempting to lower a specific copy operation for certain types; a
couple more tests are temporarily disabled here. An upcoming PR
dependent on this one will fix the issue and re-enable those tests.
Instead of hardcoding which types are copyable, add a `Core.Copy`
interface to perform copying. Move almost all the current copy support
to that interface. Some remaining pieces are still using builtin logic
after this PR:
* For tuples and structs, builtin logic is used to perform elementwise
copies. This also supports copying *adapters of* tuples and structs,
which seems like it may not be desirable, especially for non-extending
adapters. A `Copy` impl is provided for tuples of at most 2 elements, so
that `Core.Copy` constraints are satisfied, but we can't implement this
generally until we have variadics support, and don't yet have a
mechanism to generalize this to structs.
* For `enum` types imported from C++, builtin logic is used to perform a
copy. This is temporary until we have a mechanism to identify these
types from an impl in the prelude.
One lowering test in `toolchain/lower/testdata/class/generic.carbon` is
disabled for now, as it causes a crash in the lowering code due to an
ABI mismatch between the call signature in the lowered declaration of a
specific function and the call that is generated in the specific callee.
Fixing this is a little involved, and will be done in a separate PR.

This type has the same object representation as `T`, but always uses a
pointer type as its value representation. No other semantics are
provided for it yet.
Following the direction of #5913, add support for parsing an `unsafe as`
operator. For now, we allow one additional conversion using `unsafe as`
beyond the conversions supported by `as`: we permit pointer conversions
that remove qualifiers, such as `const T*` -> `T*`.
Add a `Core.String` class to the prelude representing a string view, and
rename the `String` keyword to `str` and make it evaluate to
`Core.String`.
`Core.String` is represented as a pair of a pointer to a character
(actually, to the first character of a string, but we don't have a way
of modeling that yet) and a size (which should be pointer-width, but is
currently always a `u64` as we don't have a `usize` equivalent yet).
`Core.String` values are generated directly by the toolchain for string
literal expressions.
This follows the direction established at the recent summit, but the
design implemented here has not been through the proposal process yet.
