The speculative insertion of StubReferences after elements in an
argument list turned out to not be necessary, because we decided we want
to insert per-argument initialization steps after all arguments are
evaluated, rather than interleaving them. The StubReferences we insert
are causing some minor code complexity, so remove them.
We still create StubReferences when performing patch-ups of
already-emitted code, but we no longer ever need to look through them
when determining whether an initializer was a literal or when evaluating
a type expression.
This implements initializing expression semantics for structs and
tuples, following #2006 and discussions since.
Tuple and (and analogously, struct) literals are treated as having a
mixed expression category that is later resolved based on how the
literal is used, as either a tuple initializer or a tuple value, at
which point we create a `TupleInit` or `TupleValue` that represents the
formation of the tuple initializer or tuple value from the tuple
literal.
There's quite a lot of TODOs here, and the SemIR representation is still
not quite right, but this seems like a good place to checkpoint some
incremental progress.
Instead of modeling array initialization as a thin wrapper around tuple
initialization, handle it like a function call, with a return slot as
part of its input. This better matches how initialization via a call to
`ImplicitAs::Convert` will eventually work, and in particular lets us do
in-place initialization of arrays rather than always creating a
temporary.
Building on #3214 and #3215, updates sem_ir yaml to be:
```
- filename: name
sem_ir: [ ... ]
```
Also, changes the textual format from `package { ... }` to `file
<filename> { ... }`. My thought on packages there is:
```
file "foo.carbon" {
package MyPackage
...
}
```
The reason for putting the file first is that it's easier if we put what
we're grouping on first, whereas the package is an "annotation" on the
file.
This better reflects the purpose of these semantics nodes, and prepares
for adding TupleValue and TupleInit nodes to represent forming values
and initializers from literals.
In general, LLVM's parsing of decimal integers to `APInt`s forms an
`APInt` that is 4n bits wide, where n is the length of the integer, and
the `isNegative` check only checks the high bit.
In this case, we form an `APInt` that is four bits wide, with the high
bit set, which we reject because we think it's "negative". These two
array lengths are the only ones where this happens -- if the decimal
integer value is two characters long, we form an `APInt` that is eight
bits wide but holds a value < 100, so the high bit is never set, and the
same applies for longer integers too.
An `IntegerLiteral` is never negative, so we don't need the `isNegative`
check, and in fact it only detects the n=8 and n=9 cases.
Continuing along with #3070. Note this is just a file rename, with BUILD
edits; every file previously in semantics/ should show as moved (except
maybe BUILDs, which split).
