Dana Jansens 9fb428d713 Ensure specific in ImplWitness has resolved definition before accessing witness table (#8040)
When impl lookup results in an `ImplWitness`, either directly or later
through `LookupImplWitness` evaluating to an `ImplWitness` inside some
specific, it represents a dependency on the eval blocks of the
`ImplDecl` that the `ImplWitness` comes from. The `ImplWitness` contains
a `SpecificId` of the `ImplDecl`, and the constants in the witness table
must be viewed through that `SpecificId`. The constants may depend on
the declaration or the definition block of the `ImplDecl`'s specific, so
any use of the witness table from `ImplWitness` requires the specific
from the `ImplWitness` to be fully resolved: both the decl and
definition blocks.

The specific declaration block is always resolved immediately when
forming a specific id, so there's nothing to do there. And things are
simple when the `ImplWitness` returned from impl lookup is concrete. We
would simply resolve the specific definition directly in the evaluation
of `LookupImplWitness`.

But when the `ImplWitness` is symbolic, meaning there's a dependency on
generic parameters in its referenced specific, then we have a dependency
on resolving the specific definition in the `ImplWitness` for every
specific that gets applied to the `ImplWitness`, eventually resulting in
a concrete specific.

Previously we attempted to do this by representing a dependency edge
from the eval block containing the `ImplWitness` instruction to the
definition block of the specific inside the `ImplWitness`. We
represented this dependency edge with the `RequireSpecificDefinition`
instruction.

The challenge with the `RequireSpecificDefinition` instruction was
ensuring it always landed in the _same eval block_ as the one holding
the symbolic `ImplWitness`. Ultimately, we've found a way to do this
without the `RequireSpecificDefinition`. The witness table is accessed
through `ImplWitnessAccess`, so we resolve the specific definition
before each access to the witness table. If the definition is already
resolved, this just costs a lookup of the Specific from the value store.

We document the other things we tried, which don't work or were too
complex, below.

In PR #6236, we added the `RequireSpecificDefinition` instruction in the
eval of `LookupImplWitness`, but this is too late. If impl lookup
resolved to a symbolic `LookupImplWitness`, the `LookupImplWitness` is
added some eval block. Later, we form specifics and re-evaluate that
eval block, and the `LookupImplWitness` can evaluate to an
`ImplWitness`. Adding the `RequireSpecificDefinition` instruction at
this point inserts the instruction into whatever generic's eval block
happens to be on the top of the generic stack, not the eval block of the
generic we are building a specific for. And indeed we can't add
instructions to a generic's eval block later like this, as it would be
missing from specifics that were already resolved for the generic. This
incorrect insertion shows up as a crash in eval at the CHECK introduced
but commented out in [eval.cpp in
#7981](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/56d9bbc40add1e9263f2f9b2555c3a27292d1725/toolchain/check/eval.cpp#L3507-L3512).
This is covered by the
`require_specific_impl_definition_through_specific_instantiation.carbon`
test.

We tried moving the insertion of `RequireSpecificDefinition` to be
earlier - at the point where the `LookupImplWitness` is constructed, in
the `LookupImplWitness()` function, instead of inside evaluation. This
seemed like a straightforwardly correct answer, as the eval block that
contains the `LookupImplWitness` will then also contain the
`RequireSpecificDefinition`. However, this can cause us to lose the
`RequireSpecificDefinition` entirely. Because it's a separate
instruction, not an operand of `LookupImplWitness`, it does not get
treated as a dependency of the witness. When we do an impl lookup inside
an `alias`, we build a generic for the alias and then discard it. This
discards the eval block containing the `LookupImplWitness`. Then, in an
enclosing generic, we refer to the constructed `AliasDecl` instruction,
which pulls all its dependent operands into the enclosing eval block.
This pulls in the `LookupImplWitness` into the enclosing eval block, but
it does not preserve the `RequireSpecificDefinition`. This is covered by
the
`require_specific_impl_definition_from_lookup_impl_witness_in_class_definition.carbon`
test.

We tried having `ImplWitness` evaluation resolve the specific definition
of the specific `ImplDecl` it refers to. This seems like the simplest
approach by far as we should always be working with the correct eval
block and nothing can get lost. However it does not work because of the
recursive nature of `ImplWitness`. The `ImplWitness` instruction appears
in the declaration of an `ImplDecl`, and the `ImplWitness` holds a
`SpecificId` for that same `ImplDecl`. When building a specific
`ImplDecl`, we evaluate the `ImplWitness` in the `ImplDecl`'s
declaration block which then immediately resolves the specific
definition before the declaration is finished. This leads to missing
instructions in the specific definition. In short, this puts the
dependency edge to the `ImplDecl`'s specific inside the `ImplDecl`
itself, which is problematic.

We tried wrapping `ImplWitness` in another instruction,
`ImplWitnessUse`. Inside the `ImplDecl` declaration there is still
`ImplWitness`, but then in the definition there is `ImplWitnessUse` and
that is what is returned from the evaluation of `LookupImplWitness`. The
`ImplWitnessUse` is an `ImplWitness` plus it ensures the specific
referred to by the witness has its definition resolved. However this
breaks constant comparisons, as we get different witnesses inside an
impl versus outside.

The first iteration of this PR's solution had us insert the
`RequireSpecificDefinition` into the eval block when we sniffed a
`LookupImplWitness` instruction, however that missed cases where impl
lookup immediately resolved to a symbolic `ImplWitness`, which is why we
now sniff for the `ImplWitness` in the eval block. This is covered by
the
`require_specific_impl_definition_from_symbolic_impl_in_class_definition.carbon`
test.

We also originally made a mistake of not inserting
`RequireSpecificDefinition` when inside the impl definition that the
`ImplWitness` refers to. But we can form specifics ImplWitness values
through function signatures, and these must add the dependency edge on
that specific ImplDecl definition. This is covered by the
`require_specific_impl_definition_from_inside_impl_definition.carbon`
test.

Finally, we did have a working solution. It was to sniff instructions
added to the eval block of a generic, and when an `ImplWitness` is added
to the eval block (it is implied that it is symbolic), also add a
`RequireSpecificDefinition` to that eval block immediately. We also
resolved the definition of a specific referred to by `ImplWitness` when
`LookupImplWitness` evaluates to `ImplWitness` to cover the concrete
witness case. This complicated the construction of the eval block
immensely, however. It caused a situation where adding one inst to the
eval block actually adds two, which we needed to avoid when importing.
And it required inst-kind specific behaviour in the very general
construction of an eval block, completely outside of eval itself.

Chandler Carruth c608c35e12 Rework the initial terminal rendering into the form the design landed on (#7994)
There were a number of iterations on the design that weren't reflected
in the initial port to the terminal rendering library. This PR tries to
complete the rendering side of things to match the design we landed on:
code-focused, with messages attached by lines to the code, and condensed
as much as possible to avoid the vertical space.

It also improves the styling to make things more visually
distinguishable such as adding a `->` to the main error line, and making
the underlines and connectors for it have a heavy weight (when the font
supports that).

Another major change is having multiple messages on a single line be
drawn in source lexical order. This requires the connectors to cross
without joining, but makes it easier to read the messages.

This PR also has some refactorings to enable these improvements, and a
_number_ of improvements to comment prose and terminology to try and
avoid jargon and make things read more naturally. Sorry for the fact
that Claude left a bunch of this mannerly language in comments despite
my efforts, but I'm continuing to try and drive the prose towards
something direct and simple to read. Some of the terminology
improvements also needed to be made in the design doc and those have
been made here.

Note that I don't think this rendering is perfect or should be viewed as
final. I'm happy to iterate on it further, and have a few adjustments in
mind already, but would like to focus this on getting the
_implementation_ of the current rendering design in place, and then we
can make targeted changes or tweaks as needed. For example, I'm not yet
fully happy with the rendering when messages are too long and we move
them all the way to the left, but am leaving that for a follow-up.

Christopher Di Bella 05a7ecbd34 Move SubobjectDestroy and SelfDestruct out of interface Destroy (#7942)
Determining that a type has trivial destruction requires checking
whether all of its subobjects have trivial destruction and whether its
type has a custom witness for `Destroy.Op`. This isn't possible when
`Destroy` is the custodian for `Destroy.Op` and `SubobjectDestroy.Op`,
so we need to make `SubobjectDestroy` its own interface.

`Destroy.SelfDestruct` becomes a standalone function because it depends
on `SubobjectDestroy` and `Destroy` being implemented, and is also
responsible for generating any custom witnesses for both interfaces.
Making `SelfDestruct` an interface was experimented with, but this
required a blanket impl that caused issues for facet types.

`Destroy` depends on `SubobjectDestroy` to be implemented. We'd ideally
use `require impls SubobjectDestroy`, but it isn't complete yet, and it
also causes problems when `Destroy` is implemented inside the class
definition. We work around this by temporarily renaming the `Destroy`
interface to `DestroyImpl`, and introducing a constraint called
`Destroy` so that user code doesn't need to write `Core.SubobjectDestroy
& Core.Destroy`.

Lucile Rose Nihlen c7de727575 Adds support for exporting default values for concrete parameters of generic functions. (#8019)
Adds support for exporting both the generic function decl with concrete
default arguments to clang, as well as exporting the monomorphized
concrete function def.

This required adding the `SpecificId` to the exported global variable
name, to avoid duplicate names in the global vars. I also now set up an
evaluated context in `clang_sema` when declaring the default arg
expression with clang, to avoid the problem of emitting concrete AST
expressions in an unevaluated context from the in-progress template
function decl context when exporting default values for generics.

Note: Default values for generic parameters of generic functions are not
yet supported.

Split the `Carbon::` namespace into one semantic namespace tree, plus

Richard Smith 0d3b606a56 Support calls to generic functions with deduced return types. (#7981)
When a deduced return type depends on the function's generic parameters,
it's computed by the definition's eval block, so resolve the specific's
definition at the call. Calling a specific during its own instantiation,
before the point where its return type is deduced, is diagnosed like any
other use of the function before its return type is known. Also allow
exporting such functions to C++.

Resolving such a specific from within a checked generic can perform
template actions with symbolic arguments. Perform delayed actions in a
discarded generic region so the instructions they create aren't attached
to the generic being checked, and check that evaluating a specific
doesn't add anything to an enclosing generic region.

Richard Smith 09b79784dc Include the Carbon package name in the exported C++ namespace. (#7935)
When exporting `X` from Carbon package `Foo`, expose it to C++ with
fully-qualified name `Carbon::Foo::X`, not simply `Carbon::X`. This
ensures that C++ mangled names properly distinguish between same-named
Carbon entities in different packages.

Name *lookup* into `Carbon::` still uses the same rules as before: it
finds what a `package.` lookup would find in Carbon. So `X` is named
from C++ as `Carbon::X` still, and a lookup for `Carbon::Foo` fails,
even though `X`'s "true name" is now `Carbon::Foo::X`.

Chandler Carruth 2c9739799b Render diagnostics through the terminal library (#7683)
Diagnostic rendering was part of the data model: `Loc::FormatLocation`
and
`Loc::FormatSnippet` wrote plain text to a stream, so no capability,
color, or
terminal width could reach them.

A diagnostic is now one message with labels, contexts, and location
information
attached, and `Diagnostics::Renderer` draws it into a
`Terminal::Buffer`. The
design is in `toolchain/docs/diagnostics_rendering.md` (#7668),
authoring in
`toolchain/docs/diagnostics.md`.

Before:

```
example.carbon:6:3: error: 1 argument passed to function expecting 0 arguments
  Run0(1);
  ^~~~~~~
example.carbon:3:1: note: calling function declared here
fn Run0() {}
^~~~~~~~~~~
```

After:

```
error: 1 argument passed to function expecting 0 arguments
       ╭─┤ example.carbon:6:3
       ┆
     3 │ fn Run0() {}
       · ─────┬─────
       ·      ╰──┤ calling function declared here
       ┆
->   6 │   Run0(1);
       ·   ───────
       ╰────────────
```

`--no-diagnostic-snippets` gives a compact form, `example.carbon:6:3-9`.
File
tests use it; the rendering tests under `toolchain/diagnostics/testdata`
ask for
snippets.

C++ interop diagnostics are data now rather than text Clang drew:
`SemIR::ClangSourceLocId` names a `clang::SourceRange`, and a Clang
location is
marked as the point it names.

`StreamConsumer` moves to a `:renderer` target that `:emitter` does not
depend
on, keeping `common/terminal` out of `consumer.h`. Capabilities come
from the
file behind the error stream, so tests get plain ASCII.

`renderer_fuzzer` draws diagnostics built from fuzzer bytes with every
capability combination, since a shape the renderer doesn't expect must
never be
why the compiler dies while reporting a problem.

TODOs mark the follow-ups: line weights and crossing lines, wrapping
that keeps
a quoted type whole, and ordering diagnostics that share a byte offset.

Also: `IncorrectExtension`'s hint moves into its message, since its note
had no
location of its own, and `strip_noise` in `check_diagnostics.py` blanks
multi-line `#define`s instead of deleting them.

Dana Jansens 24766e213e Defer evaluation of witnesses substituted while identifying a facet type (#7930)
When identifying a facet type, defer evaluation of LookupImplWitnesses
by redirecting them to evaluate into IdentifiedWitness. Then the caller
of identify will need to substitute the IdentifiedWitnesses, either with
witnesses of their own, or with LookupImplWitness to cause a lookup
operation.

This allows:
- An `impl as` on a named constraint can subst the witnesses in
designators from the named constraint with a witness to the impl itself.
This prevents them from looking for and finding some other overlapping
impl. (This PR)
- Impl lookup to collect rewrite/equality requirements from all named
constraints and then use the impls it has already found to evaluate any
designators in those requirements instead of performing impl lookup
again (creating a cycle). (Done in
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7944)
- Similarly, an `impl as` can collect impls and equality requirements
from all named constraints and verify them correctly by replacing
witnesses that should refer to the impl with the correct witness instead
of performing a lookup and finding an overlapping impl. (Done in
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7937)
- ImplWitnessAccess to be able to find rewrites from a named constraint,
not just from the initial DeclaredFacetType. (TBD)

To do this we need to introduce the concept of "identified" specifics.
In order to identify a facet type, we must construct a specific for each
require decl in a named constraint. These specifics will have
IdentifiedWitnesses inside them, but their args would otherwise match a
specific for the require decl constructed in another context. To avoid
polluting the canonical specific namespace, we introduce a second
namespace of specifics that are "identified" since they are created by
identifying.

As we have introduced a new global state that modifies eval behaviour,
we must disable that state when resolving a specific (as per
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7923). But inside an
"identified" specific, we preserve the behaviour so that the witnesses
modified by identify (through SubstPeriodSelf or through evaluating a
require specific) have their evaluation deferred.

Chandler Carruth c1e83b0b78 Use the plain identifier for Carbon names in C++ (#7897)
C++ interop used `GetFormatted` to turn a Carbon name into a C++ name.
For an identifier that is a Carbon keyword, such as `base`,
`GetFormatted` adds an `r#` prefix, so the C++ name came out as `r#base`
instead of `base`. This showed up in three places:

- A failed call to the C++ function `base` was reported as "no matching
function for call to 'r#base'".
- An exported Carbon function was mangled as `_ZN6CarbonL6r#baseEv`
instead of `_ZN6CarbonL4baseEv`.
- Its thunk was named `r#base__carbon_thunk` instead of
`base__carbon_thunk`.

All three now use `GetClangIdentifierInfo`, which `export.cpp` already
uses for other C++ names. The name is always an identifier in these
places: an overload set is only imported by looking up an identifier in
C++, and only functions declared in Carbon are exported, which are
always named by an identifier. So they check for an identifier, as the
export of a class name already does, rather than falling back to
`GetFormatted`. This removes a TODO about naming a `NameId::CppOperator`
overload set, which can't happen: C++ operators are resolved in
`operators.cpp` without an overload set.

Dana Jansens fcae9610bd Make SemIR::TypeType be an empty FacetType instruction (#7813)
The type `type` is now a `FacetType` inst with no constraints. This
brings the model implemented in the toolchain into better alignment with
the language design. The `SemIR::TypeType` struct remains as a scope for
holding the `TypeInstId`, `ConstantId`, and `TypeId` constants, but is
not an `InstKind` anymore.

The `TypeType` inst looks a lot like singletons, but there are many
`FacetType` insts so it doesn't quite fit that model. So we put it
alongside singletons with a fixed inst id but refer to it as a more
general "builtin" inst that is not a singleton.
`Namespace::PackageInstId` is similar, and we group it with `TypeType`
conceptually as another builtin instruction with a fixed id.

No conversion is needed anymore to use a `type` as a facet, since types
also have a `FacetType` type. This simplifies and removes a number of
helpers and branches throughout the code.

The `TypeType` inst is now part of the constant store, so we end up
printing it in the constants block in every test. But it's also named
`type` rather than `%type` to preserve the majority of existing
formatting behaviour, though this does look different from other
constants.

refactoring. Though nearly everything non-trivial the tool wrote has

Dana Jansens 4416f3525b Canonicalize generated functions for Core witnesses (#7729)
Use a single `SemIR::Function` per `Core` interface method, whether it's
generated locally or imported. This prevents generating duplicate
functions, which lead to different types when the witness appears in a
`FacetValue` as part of a specific for a class.

We use a `CanonicalValueStore` of `GeneratedFunction` objects that allow
finding an existing FunctionId for a `Generated` special function before
(re-)generating it. Mangling for `Generated` functions is also moved to
use the values from the `GeneratedFunction`'s canonicalization key, so
that we have a consistent source of truth for the unique ID of a
`Generated` function across all files.

Nicholas Bishop 3bb245364f Support exporting class specifics to C++ (#7634)
This is similar to the previously-added support for accessing generic
carbon classes from C++, but with the specific defined by Carbon, rather
than being derived from template args supplied by clang in
`LoadExternalSpecializations`.

Example:
```carbon
class C(T: type) {
  var t: T;
}
alias A = C(i32);

inline Cpp '''
void F() {
  Carbon::A a;
  a.t = 123;
}
'''

Nicholas Bishop 2784f33221 Fix clang_decls InstId for generic class export (#7633)
The exported class was being inserted with a type inst ID as the key
(and looked up that way elsewhere), but when checking if the generic
class was already exported, the `first_decl_id` was being used. Make it
consistent, and opt for `first_decl_id` everywhere since it provides a
better location for diagnostics.

Christopher Di BellaandRichard Smith 4ea5ef45dd Skip ImplWitnessTable::elements_id when generating fingerprints (#7629)
Implementing interface modifiers causes an infinite loop when generating
fingerprints because the witness value generates a fingerprint that's
dependent on something dependent on the witness value. We've debugged
this to the witness table's `elements_id` field.

This hack is a workaround for creating a new block type whose value is
not codependent with its identity.

Nicholas Bishop de1cd701cf Add initial support for exporting generic classes (#7595)
Currently only fields of generic classes are exported; methods of
generic classes are not supported yet.

Simple example:

```carbon
class C(T: type) {
  var t: T;
}

inline Cpp '''
void F() {
  Carbon::C<int> c;
  c.t = 123;

  Carbon::C<float> c2;
  c2.t = 124.5;
}
''';

Richard Smith c278bea3c5 Support LP64 platforms such as Darwin where int64_t is long long. (#7596)
Add `Core.CppCompat.[U]Long64` to represent a 64-bit long that is not
`i64`. Treat it as being "just slightly smaller than" `i64`, like we
treat `Core.CppCompat.LongLong64` as being "just slightly larger than"
`i64`, so that we get implicit conversions `Cpp.long` -> `i64` ->
`Cpp.long_long` on all targets.

This follows the direction of proposal #5448, and seems like the obvious
extension of the `[U]Long32` and `[U]LongLong64` types added in #6275
for targets of this "shape".

Richard Smith a1e843718e Create modules for header imports. (#7613)
Make multiple imports of the same header only parse it once per C++
domain. Reuse of the same header in `--share-cpp-ast` mode now reuses
the representation.

Importing a Carbon file with C++ dependencies now makes those transitive
C++ dependencies in the same C++ domain visible too.

Dana Jansens 9b8a2124b9 Don't require non-class types to be complete to convert from them (#7590)
In Convert, we require the source value's type to be compete so that we
can look for `base` classes and `adapt` relationships. However these can
only be present in a `ClassType`, so we only need `ClassType`s to be
complete.

Reduce the requirement in Convert to not complete types that are not a
`ClassType`, and which can not contain a `ClassType` as part of their
class.

Ideally we would only _only_ require the `ClassType` itself to be
complete, and only if we're looking for a base or adapt. However lower
depends on us completing all Convert source types that contain a class.
This seems to suggest we're lacking checks for complete types somewhere
else and Convert is making up for it. A TODO has been added. The
`toolchain/driver/testdata/compile/optimize/optimize_debug.carbon` test
is an example that CHECKs due to failing to verify the LLVM module if we
do not compute the complete type of all class-containing types in
Convert.

The critical step this PR is doing is to stop trying to complete a
`FacetType` when converting from a facet. This avoids trying to complete
a named constraint when converting `Self` inside that named constraint.
Doing so causes a cycle when the conversion of `Self` is performed in
eval of an `extend require` decl, since requiring the named constraint
to be complete re-evaluates the `extend require` decl again. A test is
added that crashed in an infinite loop before this change.

It also depends on #7584, which was intended to be an optimization but
is now load bearing. Because converting `Self` leaves an impl lookup
inst behind, and if that inst is re-evaluated inside impl lookup (by
forming a specific of a `require` decl through identify) then we have a
similar cycle.

Dana Jansens a5ba0a0f45 Use GetConstantValueInSpecific to get the impl's specific interface after deduction (#7584)
During impl lookup, for each (generic) impl candidate, we form a
specific for that impl by deducing its generic arguments. Then we
compare the query interface against the impl's specific interface. That
comparison needs the deduced arguments applied to the impl's specific
interface. Previously we were doing this by getting the impl's
constraint facet type with the impl's specific applied (via
`GetConstantValueInSpecific()`) and then identifying that facet type
with the impl's deduced self.

Identify is a fairly expensive operation. It runs subst, trying to
replace `.Self` references. It walks named constraints. It collects
require declarations. We're looking at making it do _more_ in the future
too, including rewrite constraint resolution and collecting rewrite and
same-type constraints. For this reason we have a cache to make it cheap
on the second run, but it's still a very heavyweight operation to
involve in impl lookup, when all we want is to apply the impl's specific
to its target interface.

We almost have all the information we need to avoid the identification
step. We have the impl's specific after deduction. And we have the
SpecificInterface that the impl is targeting in the `Impl` struct. When
we form the specific for the impl itself, we resolve the declaration
block and form new constant values for all instructions in there, but
that does not cover the SpecificInterface that we're storing in the
`Impl` struct. So we add a new instruction to the impl's eval block,
which will be symbolic when the impl is generic and the target interface
depends on a generic parameter. And we store the `InstId` in the `Impl`
struct. This allows us to gets its constant value later with the impl's
specific applied. From that constant value we can then pull out the
SpecificInterface that the impl is targeting.

Dana Jansens f51c075f8b Avoid symbolic witnesses for .Self in an impl decl (#7564)
Point symbolic witnesses into `.Self` written inside an impl decl at the
impl that is being declared. This is tricky because the impl does not
yet exist. So we use a new instruction `ImplSelfWitness` which _will_ be
replaced by the `ImplWitness` once it becomes available. The
`ImplSelfWitness` acts like a symbolic witness, except it does not
perform lookup, since we know which impl we will get a witness from.

This prevents us from finding other impls when performing lookups into
`.Self` in an impl decl, which produces incorrect/incoherent results.

Richard Smith 7d89ac98c7 Add a flag to build a single ASTContext shared across all compilations (#7567)
Instead of building one Clang `ASTContext` per compilation, the
`--share-cpp-ast` flag causes us to build a single `ASTContext` and
share it across all contexts. One new abstraction is added: `CppDomain`
represents the Carbon-side view of a Clang AST that might be shared
across multiple `SemIR::File`s. This object owns the Clang instance and
the AST.

For now, we have no isolation between the C++ state exposed to different
Carbon compilations, and we have no multiplexing of generated LLVM IR
from C++ into different Carbon compilations, so the mode is not usable
yet. The plan is to keep it behind a flag until it's ready.

Nicholas Bishop 2e61685658 Remove duplicate check for exporting a specific class (#7541)
The check for a specific in `TryMapClassType` is unnecessary;
immediately after it calls `ExportClassToCpp`, which has the same check.
The latter also has a `context.TODO`, which provides a clearer error.

Also improved the `LocId` in `ExportClassToCpp` to use the location of
the first decl rather than the empty location of the class type. This is
the same fix as
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/7533, just applied a
little more broadly. This makes the `context.TODO` above point at the
class rather than the start of the source file.

Nicholas Bishop 3a3439c681 Support exporting functions with generic return types to C++ (#7537)
Add a `return_type_id` field to `FunctionInfo` in
`toolchain/check/cpp/export.cpp`. As with the `explicit_params` field,
`ExportFunctionSpecializationToCpp` updates this to the return type in
the specific.

Refactored `BuildCppFunctionDeclForCarbonFn` into
`BuildCppFunctionDeclForNonGenericCarbonFn` and
`BuildCppFunctionDeclForGenericCarbonFn`, with `BuildCppFunctionDecl`
containing shared code.

The `generic_type_impls_interface.carbon` test is updated to include a
generic return type.

Richard Smith 90f6654b48 Fix crash attempting constant evaluation of a constexpr constructor. (#7514)
We can't use a `CallExpr` to call a constructor; use a
`CXXConstructExpr` instead. While this fixes the crash and gets us past
the initial constant evaluation, we still can't map the constant value
back into Carbon, so this doesn't actually make constexpr constructors
work yet. But it does stop Clang from crashing.

Fixes #7498.

Richard Smith 703529fc55 Destroy temporaries at the end of expression statements. (#7513)
Instead of tracking the cleanup scope depth on entry to each scope,
track an "ambient" cleanup scope depth that's *after* the destructors of
local variables in that scope. This gets increased to include the
destructors of local variables when we create a name-binding
declaration. Then, when we reach a point where temporaries should be
destroyed, run cleanups that are after the ambient cleanup scope depth
on the stack. This happens:

* At the `;` of a statement expression.
* At the `)` of an `if` or `while` statement.
* After performing the implied `HasValue()` call in a `for` statement.

Per informal agreement with leads, this means we lifetime-extend all
temporaries created in the initializer of a name-binding declaration to
the full scope of that declaration, but that temporaries created in an
expression statement are destroyed at the `;`.

Richard Smith 9ae73d2847 Handle signature mismatch when a Carbon function overrides a C++ virtual function. (#7499)
When a Carbon virtual function overrides a C++ virtual function, we need
to export it with the C++ signature in order for it to work as an
override. Instead of mapping the C++ signature into Carbon and then back
again, use the original C++ signature from the base class as the
signature exported to C++.

Also add documentation explaining how we use thunks in C++ interop,
including in this new virtual function handling logic.
