This removes some loops in type completion, but is motivated by the
thought that eval probably wants to query it.

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.
Use that instead of `AddInstInNoBlock` to get the value of an
instruction when evaluation might depend on the `InstId` but only the
`ConstantId` of the instruction is desired by the consumer.
For each kind of instruction, specify whether its constant evaluation
needs an `InstId` or not. If it does, ensure that all constant
evaluation of that instruction provides one. Otherwise, allow calling
into the evaluator without providing an `InstId`.
This allows us to reliably use the `InstId` in evaluation steps that
either need a location or need to look at the original operands of the
instruction prior to evaluation, and also to support `TryEvalInst` calls
safely for instructions whose evaluation does not need an `InstId`.
Trust that import_ref produces constants that are already in their
evaluated form. We still do one pass over the operands to map them into
their canonical constant values. Even that is mostly unnecessary, but
there are a few instructions produced by importing that still need it
for now.
Add a new instruction called ImplSymbolicWitness which represents a
search for an impl declaration given a self type and an interface to
find implemented for the self type. The self type is stored as a
constant instruction id, rather than as a ConstantId, as instructions
don't currently support holding ConstantId. The interface is stored as a
SpecificInterface but we can't fit all of it directly into the
instruction. So we add a new id to refer to the SpecificInterface as
follows.
Add a new SpecificInterfaceId which indexes into a canonical value store
on SemIR::File. This tracks all `SpecificInterface`s stored in an
instruction - specifically the ImplSymbolicWitness instruction.
The SpecificInterface on Impl is still stored there as a value, not as
an id, and no id is eagerly constructed for it. We wait until an id is
needed to make one. Since they are canonical, a new id is only create
when a new SpecificInterface value is seen.
When doing impl lookup, and the query is not concrete, and the impl is
not effectively final, the query needs to consider future impls that may
specialize either the self type or the constaint to make a more precise
match and replace the found impl declaration. Instead of returning the
ImplWitness instruction from the found impl, we generate a
ImplSymbolicWitness instruction, storing the query so that it can be
replayed later. This instruction is added to the generic eval block and
thus will be re-evaluated later with a SpecificId that may make the
query more concrete. When evaluating the instruction and replaying the
query, the lookup has the same conditions and if it does not decide to
use the found impl concretely, then the same instruction is returned
from eval, leaving it as symbolic.
--- Impl lookup changes ---
Impl lookup gets a little more interesting now. It continues to look in
the facet value for a witness if the self type is a facet value. Then
falls back to looking for an impl declaration. This step is no longer
done directly. Instead, we construct a ImplSymbolicWitness instruction
and evaluate it immediately for each interface that are in the query
facet type.
The ImplSymbolicWitness instruction, when evaluated, calls back to the
impl lookup code, with a query specific interface. There we resume back
into the same code path as from before, finding a witness in an impl
declaration. But we may return "found a non-final impl" instead of a
concrete witness. If eval receives this back, it evaluates to the
current ImplSymbolicWitness instruction as the resulting constant value.
To pass lookup failures back through eval, a result of InstId::None from
the second step of impl lookup will result in a non-constant value,
which is used as a signal back up the stack to the original impl lookup
function that the lookup failed. Using a non-constant value here would
break evaluation of the generic eval block if impl lookup could fail
there, however we know it will not since we only leave behind an
ImplSymbolicWitness instruction in the eval block if we found at least
one matching impl already, and we just want to look for a better match
with a more specific query.
We must take care to not store a reference into any value store across
computation in impl lookup, since impl lookup can recurse into itself
invalidate those stores. That includes the SpecificInterface obtained
from a SpecificInterfaceId, which impl lookup also inserts into the
store.
--- The long tail ---
Adding a new instruction and a new id type requires a myriad of changes
to support them:
We add Dump() support for SpecificInterfaceId. And fix a crash in Dump
for SpecificId::None. We also add MakeSpecificInterfaceId() for dumping
arbitrary ids.
The type of ImplSymbolicWitness is a new singleton builtin type
instruction called WitnessSymbolicType (like WitnessType is the type for
an ImplWitness).
Both ImplSymbolicWitness and WitnessSymbolicType are given `Value` as
their expression category as they are builtin constant values. And
BuildInfo() in TypeCompleter is taught about them both, returning a
`ValueRepr::Copy`.
WitnessSymbolicType is added to the set of SingletonInstKinds, so that
it can have a singleton instrution id as a static member.
Lower's BuildTypeForInst() is taught to make an empty struct for
WitnessSymbolicType, similar to WitnessType.
Instruction formatter (FormatterImpl) grows support for printing a
SpecificInterfaceId so that it can print both arguments of
ImplSymbolicWitness on the RHS when printing the SemIR instruction. To
print a SpecificInterfaceId, it prints both the interface id and the
specific id (if there is one). For example, for a query on a generic
interface `Z` with one parameter, the RHS includes the query, interface,
and specific:
```
%Z.impl_symbolic_witness: <symbolic witness> = impl_symbolic_witness %U, @Z, @Z(%U.as_type) [symbolic]
```
IdKind is extended to include SpecificInterfaceId.
InstFingerprinter is taught to look through SpecificInterfaceId and use
the interface and specific ids in the fingerprint.
InstNamer is taught about SpecificInterfaceId, counting the interfaces
when building an index. It is also tought about ImplSymbolicWitness,
using the name of the interface within and the `.impl_symbolic_witness`
suffix. For example, here the LHS is named after the interface in the
query:
```
%Z.impl_symbolic_witness: <symbolic witness> = impl_symbolic_witness %U, @Z, @Z(%U.as_type) [symbolic]
```
StringifyTypeExpr is taught about WitnessSymbolicType, which uses its IR
name since it's a singleton. And about ImplSymbolicWitness which uses
its constant value. The handling of ImplWitnessAccess also needed to be
adjusted, since it assumed that ImplWitnessAccess::witness_id would
always be a FacetAccessWitness, but it can now also be an
ImplSymbolicWitness. (It seems that the witness_id is also assigned
ImplWitness instructions, but those ImplWitnessAccess instructions don't
ever seem to get stringified in a diagnostic at this time.) At the
moment the ImplWitnessAccess with a symbolic witness is just stringified
as "<symbolic>", such as in:
```
x.carbon:1:2: error: cannot implicitly convert value of type `()` to `<symbolic>` [ConversionFailure]
let a: C(D).(Z.X) = ();
^~
```
There is a TODO left behind to include more information there.
The TypeStructure builder is made to handle WitnessSymbolicType and
WitnessType. These come up now in deduce where a generic impl will have
a ImplSymbolicWitness in a FacetValue for a generic self type. The query
may have a concrete ImplWitness in the same position. Since deduce tries
to deduce through the FacetValue, it tries to convert ImplWitness to
ImplSymbolicWitness, tries to do an impl lookup for `impl ImplWitness as
ImplicitAs(ImplSymbolicWitness)` and causes us to build type structures
with each of these.
Subst is updated to handle pushing and popping SpecificInterfaceId.
Without this, when finishing a generic's eval block, we would walk into
the ImplSymbolicWitness instruction, and its arguments, and fail to
recurse down into the SpecificInterfaceId. Then any specifics inside
would be left as "orphaned" without any generic id attached to them, and
we would never update the instructions in the SpecificInterface's
instructions (inside its own SpecificId) with new constant values when
evaluating the generic eval block against a specific. To do this we push
the specific_id inside the SpecificInterface, and when popping we pop
the specific_id then construct a new canonical SpecificInterface with it
and return that id.
We add support for importing ImplSymbolicWitness by importing its self
constant instruction and specific interface id. However we also had to
add import support for SpecificImplFunction, which can now appear in the
generic eval block for a generic impl declaration, and thus must be
imported with the declaration. This is done very similarly to
SpecificFunction, except the `type_id` is a singleton value.

Also fix a bug in `Context::GetClassType` that previously tried to
complete the class type before returning it. That's not correct --
`GetCompleteTypeImpl` is only appropriate for cases where the type can
trivially be completed and completing it can't fail -- and led to
infinite recursion with this change because we would call `GetClassType`
when producing a diagnostic if completing that class type failed.
As discussed in toolchain meeting, we want to avoid overloading the
meaning of "instance", and "specific" was the best name we found. It's a
little unorthodox and inventive, but hopefully over time will become as
unsurprising as the term "generic" is.
When forming a specific (previously called a generic instance), evaluate
the eval block of the generic to determine the values of any constants
used in that specific. The majority of the work here is updating
eval.cpp so that it can use the results of prior evaluations in the same
block when computing later values.
Include the computed results in the formatted SemIR output.

This is accomplished by tracking an extra bit on the ID we store in the
constant values table, and propagating that from subexpressions to the
enclosing expression. This extra bit is not yet computed correctly for
types; that will be addressed in later PRs.

Form a side table with constant values for each instruction. Evaluation
is only supported for a few very simple kinds of instruction for now.
This is not observable outside of the SemIR output, because nothing
depends on expressions having a constant value phase yet.
