When we import from another library in the same package, its entities
end up with our library as their parent scope, resulting in cross-file
fingerprint mismatches. Instead, only include the library ID when
fingerprinting either a package-private entity or an `ImportIRId` that
refers to a particular `SemIR::File`.
Allow a `ref`-tagged expression to be converted to match a reference
parameter. Move the `ref` checks to the start of `Convert`. Remove the
diagnostic for applying `ref` to a non-reference expression so that
non-reference expressions that convert to a reference would be accepted
(although we don't currently have any such conversions).

Fixes link failures when referencing a symbol involving a fingerprint
from a different package.
Previously we included the `Namespace`'s `import_id` as part of its
fingerprint, which caused local and imported namespaces to get different
fingerprints. We now store the `import_id` on the `NameScope` instead of
on the `Namespace` inst to avoid this problem.
Also, when we reach a package-level `NameScopeId`, consistently
fingerprint it as a (package name, library name) pair. Previously the
fingerprinting depended on whether it was imported or not, as an
imported `NameScopeId` had a parent scope (the current package). We need
to include the library name here so that private entities with the same
name in different libraries have different fingerprints.
When a class extends an interface, referring to a member name of the
interface as an unqualified name should refer to the class's
corresponding associated entity value, not to the associated entity
itself. Similarly, in an `impl`, unqualified names of associated
entities should refer to the `impl`'s corresponding value for that
entity.
To support this, we treat `impl`s as `extend`ing their implemented facet
type, and we make lookups into an extended facet type use the `Self`
type of the extending `impl` or `class` if lookup finds an associated
entity. We already did the latter if the extending entity was an
interface; this extends the existing support for these other cases.
Class vars are still restricted to simple `name: type` bindings, not
full patterns. This is now handled in the check phase instead of during
parsing.
This is in preparation for supporting `static var`.
Implement the alias rules from proposal #5389, wherein an alias is
permitted so long as the target has a constant value. While that
proposal is not yet accepted, this seems like a reasonable basis for
further iteration, and will be useful for the examples we're currently
pursuing.
This lets us stop eliding it in textual semir tests with dump ranges.
Previously it would always get elided, even though it was part of the
range being dumped, and was referred to by other instructions in the
dump range.
Since each `.Self` is unique (can change its type if not its value) in a
facet type, having each one distinct by location also aids
understanding.
See
[here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rWcueFwIfZox6GKVGxiUG4cBzjrZ6djXiIDGyJDtrE4/edit?tab=t.0)
for the design doc.
This also removes the default value of the `result_type_inst_id`
parameter of `HandleAction`, moves it before the action in the parameter
list, and documents it. This solves two problems:
- The default made it easy to forget, leading to unnecessary
`TypeOfInst` instructions.
- When it was present, putting it after the fairly "bulky" action
argument tended to make the callsite harder to read.
When an initializing expression is used to initialize a var parameter,
we need to create the storage earlier in SemIR than the initializing
expression. To do so, pass a pending block to initialization containing
the var storage.
Also stop using `temporary` for this purpose, since we treat temporaries
as potentially-constant and immutable, but `var` parameters can be
mutated by the callee. We should ideally introduce a new kind of
instruction for this purpose but for now we just use `var_storage`.
- A function with a return declaration always has exactly one
`ReturnSlotPattern`, representing the whole return declaration (whereas
previously that was omitted for value and reference returns).
- The `ReturnSlotPattern` always has a subpattern with the same form.
`OutParamPattern` already plays that role for initializing forms, and
`TuplePattern` will play that role for tuple forms. This change
introduces `ValueReturnPattern` and `RefReturnPattern` to represent
value and reference return forms.
- As before, the `ReturnSlotPattern` has a corresponding `ReturnSlot`
that represents the output that is initialized by a `return` statement.
Its structure parallels the structure of the `ReturnSlotPattern`, so we
need `ValueReturn` and `RefReturn` insts that correspond to
`ValueReturnPattern` and `RefReturnPattern`.
This is a step toward supporting generic return forms, where the
`ReturnSlotPattern`'s subpattern may be an action: this change ensures
that evaluating the action for a specific form produces the same SemIR
as if the form were concrete to begin with. More speculatively, this
should simplify the implementation of `return` statements with compound
return forms.

This is only fixing the decision about *whether* to produce a witness.
Implementation of the witness is still a TODO, though where a body is
generated, it should also precisely reflect where one _needs_ to be
generated.
Note the tests:
- toolchain/lower/testdata/function/generic/import_core_witness.carbon
- toolchain/lower/testdata/function/generic/import_unused_def.carbon
These tests can probably be produced _without_ Core.Destroy, but I found
the essence of them while trying to build //examples with Core.Destroy
and a simpler minimization wasn't striking me.

This will be used for const-evaling functions. Splitting into a separate
commit since it touches a lot of test files, and a couple fail_todo
tests are no longer failing.
EvalOrAddInst has to create a non-canonical instruction for evaluating a
few typed insts, such as LookupImplWitness which uses an InstId to
provide a location for diagnostics.
But the output of the function is a ConstantId. We do not have access to
the non-canonical InstId after the function returns. But if the constant
value was symbolic, it was being attached to the inst, and the inst
would be added to the eval block of the enclosing generic. This
needlessly added semir for a symbolic value.
The ConstantId returned by EvalOrAddInst can be used immediately, such
as to evaluate an ImplWitnessAccess. In that case, the final evaluated
result is all we need to keep in semir.
If the ConstantId needs to be replaced by specifics, it is only as part
of some other instruction, since ConstantIds themselves are not modified
by specifics, instructions are. In that case, the canonical instruction
in the constant value would have been added to some other (now symbolic)
instruction, which would be replaced by a specific.
This has no functional change, but it reduces runtime overhead and semir
output for LookupImplWitness and ImplWitnessAccess.
Performing a lookup against `Self` inside the definition of the named
constraint leads to cycles, as described in the document [Self
contradictions in Named
Constraints](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17rn2XmME8o2MM4OJqatSVuMa1iYZ1PAgcNrf0PXR9Q4/edit?tab=t.0).
To prevent those cycles, this change introduces a large refactoring of
impl lookup.
The impl lookup done inside eval is reduced to only performing
monomorphization. That is it:
- Only looks for an provides final witnesses.
- Is not allowed to identify the facet type of the query self.
- Returns either a final witness or None (or an error)
The paths for finding non-final witnesses are now done outside of eval,
directly in the initial `LookupImplWitness()` function. If no final
witness it found through eval, the resulting non-final
`LookupImplWitness` instruction witness is returned. It does not produce
cycles to identify the facet type of query self outside of eval, since
that does not result in repeating the identification when resolving
specifics of the named constraint or require decl.
Move the ArrayStack for Context::require_impls_stack into a new class
which tracks a NamedConstraintId (or InterfaceId) for each frame of
RequireImplsIds, so that in type completion we always can find the
correct frame for a given named constraint which is still being defined,
in order to find the RequireImplsIds in the in-progress definition.
The `CompleteTypeWitness` can be concrete. This avoids making a symbolic
`CompleteTypeWitness` value which itself has a concrete
`CompleteTypeWitness` value with the same operands.
This enables some nice simplifications, and it's also a step toward a
broader restructuring of binding and parameter patterns.

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.

This resolves some todos, and makes `Convert` safer to call, which

Previously we forced a temporary materialization, resulting in it being
treated as an ephemeral reference expression. This change allows
```carbon
var x: Class = {} as Class;
```
even when `Class` is not copyable.
This case is redundant: when deducing against a runtime parameter
pattern, the type is all that matters, and the type is added to the
deduction earlier. Additionally deducing the same argument against
parameter's subpattern just creates duplicate work, because the
subpattern has the same type.
This includes checking and lowering for concrete form literals. Support
for symbolic forms is future work.

This uses the `CARBON_KIND_ANY(AnyImportRef, auto import_ref):` syntax
that seemed to be favored [on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/655578254970716160/1478486848207720478).
This converted uses in the `sem_ir` directory to show it works
initially, then added `check` for full coverage plus validating the
`SemIR::` namespace discard.
Note in inst_namer.cpp, AnyBindingPattern includes FormBindingPattern
which wasn't previously handled.
I'm disabling clang-format because I think it formats with readability
issues, e.g.:
```
#define CARBON_KIND_ANY_EXPAND_AnyBinding(X, SEP) \
X(::Carbon::SemIR::AliasBinding) \
SEP X(::Carbon::SemIR::FormBinding) SEP X(::Carbon::SemIR::RefBinding) \
SEP X(::Carbon::SemIR::SymbolicBinding) \
SEP X(::Carbon::SemIR::ValueBinding)
```
Since `SEP` is typically a comma, it's also a nuisance to treat as an
argument to `X` (which could get better results).

This is iterating on how `Destroy.Op` generates, to start adding body
capabilities. This changes the way the signature is created, and adds a
`CoreWitness` function kind so that mangling can prevent name
collisions. The result is that what _was_ `DestroyOp` is now
`Core.Destroy.Op` or, as can be seen in
toolchain/lower/testdata/interop/cpp/nullptr.carbon,
`_COp.<hash>:core.Destroy.Core` where `:core` is indicating that it's a
core witness (taking a note from `:thunk`).

This allows us to capture the location at which a type literal was used,
even in the cases where we don't otherwise need to create a new
instruction to represent the type such as for `char` or `str`.
The logic used to build the underlying type is now marked as desugaring.
For cases such as `iN`, this causes the call to `Core.Int` to no longer
be added as a dedicated IR instruction, and instead its constant value
is used directly as the value of the `type_literal`. This results in
this being on balance a reduction in the size of the IR.
This also fixes a crash in C++ interop when using a `char` literal as a
template argument. The crash was caused by the template argument not
having an associated location when mapping to a C++ location. See
changes to check/testdata/interop/cpp/template/type_param.carbon for an
example that used to crash before this change.
Update alias handling to allow an alias to point at any type literal,
reinstating support for aliases for type literals such as `bool` and
`i32` that had previously worked but stopped working when we
transitioned those types to being defined in the prelude. See changes to
toolchain/check/testdata/alias/builtins.carbon.
All the test changes other than the two mentioned above are mechanical
autoupdate changes switching to the new instruction.
Introduces `Context` and `SoftContext` messages, which can be introduced
through a `ContextBuilder`:
- The `Context` messages come before the diagnostic in the output.
- The first `Context` message steals the diagnostic level from the main
diagnostic, and turns the main diagnostic into a Note attached to the
context.
- A `SoftContext` message works similarly, but if it's preceeded by a
`Context` or `SoftContext` message, then it is dropped. This can be used
as a default/backup scope when nothing more interesting is provided up
the stack, such as in `TryEvalBlockForSpecific`.
The `ContextBuilder` is provided to a callback through
`Diagnostics::ContextScope`, an RAII type `AnnotationScope` but for
context messages.
This allows a high level operation to provide a context message like
"failed to identify facet type {0}" which will then be used as the error
if a diagnostic is produced during identification, with the latter
diagnostic attached as a note to explain why the contextual operation
failed.
In particular, this allows monomorphization errors (such as an array
bound being negative) to be attached to a higher lever operation instead
of being top-level diagnostics themselves, with the monomorphization
site being a note. This inverts the source code locations that appear in
the diagnostic, so that the top-level diagnostic points to the "user
code" which causes the monomorphization.
This is presented as an alternative strategy to #6753, which plumbed
diagnoser callbacks around to achieve the same goals.
We replace the diagnoser callbacks in type completion and operators with
ContextScope callbacks instead, which now provide better diagnostics for
monomorphization errors. Other callers to MakeSpecific do not yet have
ContextScopes introduced in order to turn monomorphization errors into
more interesting diagnostics.
This shifts logic a little so that empty top-level scopes are printed
less often. This affects imports mainly for now, but should be expected
to affect the soon-to-be-added generated scope more significantly.

Currently each interface has a `Self` facet internally that becomes a
binding to every entity inside the interface: associated constants,
functions, and require decls. Each of these has to be independently
generic as a result. This makes is challenging in extended name lookup
to move into an extended scope of an interface, as we have a specific
for the interface, but the names within require a different specific
that includes a `Self` facet value.
We generalize this relationship by adding a second generic to Interface,
called `generic_with_self`. When we want to work with entities inside
the interface, we move from the interface-without-specific to the
interface-with-self specific by adding a Self to the specific. This is
done independently of any particular entity inside the Interface, as
those entities are now all members of the interface-with-self generic.
Associated constants no longer need a generic of their own, as they do
not have separate generic bindings. Functions retain a generic, but if
the function has no generic arguments, it will have no bindings of its
own now.
Require decls retain a generic so that their specific can be
instantiated separately from the interface. Requiring the interface to
be complete does not require the types in a require decl to be complete
unless it is modified by `extend`. So we allow them to be completed
later by keeping them in a separate generic.
Named constraints look like interfaces and gain the additional inner
generic-with-self, with the same relationship to require decls.
This removes the need for name lookup to perform Substitution of a Self
facet into the extended scope instruction. Instead, the
`SpecificConstant` instruction inserted by a `require` decl is part of
the interface-with-self generic. When looking through a FacetType for
extended scopes, for each interface, we push the scope with the specific
for the interface-with-self. Then the constant value of the
`SpecificConstant` is correctly modified by the provided self
automatically through applying that specific.
This is related to #6727, but is generally a necessary fix even without
that issue. I'm not adding a specific test of #6727 because it should
also be covered by the tests in #6726.

Add support for compile-time functions. `eval fn` is analogous to C++
`constexpr`, and is evaluated at compile time when it has compile-time
arguments. `musteval fn` is analogous to C++ `consteval`, and requires
that its arguments be available at compile time and is always evaluated
at compile time. For now we require the modifier to match across
redeclarations of the function. The specific modifier syntax here is a
placeholder and not yet part of an approved design.
Limitations: Only very basic support for evaluation is provided. So far
there's no support for mutable state or `if` expressions, but otherwise
control flow and passing and returning values should work. Carbon
evaluation recursion is modeled by C++ recursion for now, so you can
overflow the toolchain stack easily. Functions that use in-place
initialization will generally not work yet, as they are modeled as
passing a non-compile-time-constant reference to a temporary to the
call.
Add missing categorization of `name_binding_decl` as `NotExpr` to match
other similar declaration instructions like `FunctionDecl`, so that we
can uniformly skip over them when they occur within function bodies.

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.

For example, see toolchain/check/testdata/class/fail_incomplete.carbon
for the diagnostic changes. `IncompleteTypeInFunctionReturnType` should
remain, while the redundant `IncompleteTypeInFunctionParam` is removed.
Note I'm deliberately trying to validate the return type after other
parameters, because I think that's the better user experience. This does
also incrementally change IR.
The general strategy here is to import the constructor with a signature
that directly matches the argument. The intent is that the imported
function will eventually be usable directly as the `ImplicitAs.Convert`
function in a generated `impl`.
For initialization from a tuple, for example `(1, 2)`, we import the
selected constructor with a signature that takes a tuple pattern:
`fn Class.Class((a: i32, b: i32)) -> Class;`
In order to support that, this PR also adds support in general for tuple
patterns in function signatures. It turns out the implementation was
already very close to allowing this.
