This is in addition to finding a `where` on the RHS of another `where`.
Since a generic binding introduces `.Self`, any `where` expression that
isn't part of a facet type modifying the binding itself would introduce
an ambiguous `.Self`.
Add virtual parse nodes for let, var, and form bindings, which goes
before the type. This allows us to track if `where` appears in the
binding's type. We only need to look for an invalid `where` if any
appeared in the type. We combine these three nodes together into a
single node kind, which requires us to remove the name from it as a
child. We move it up to the Pattern node again, and rename the
PatternStart nodes to PatternTypeStart as they are now located in the
middle of the Pattern nodes, just before the type.
And we only need to thaw `.Self` in generic bindings. Non-generic
bindings can only have `.Self` through a `where` expression, since the
name is not provided otherwise to non-generic bindings. And `where`
expressions thaw their `.Self` independently. So the binding only needs
to thaw a `.Self` that it introduced, which is only for generic
bindings.
If the `match_first` is not followed by `{` avoid consuming whatever
comes after it. Recover by leaving whatever comes next alone. It could
even be the `FileEnd` token, and then we would crash when we read off
the end of the token stream looking for `FileEnd`.
Implement the toolchain side of proposal #7254, removing the `:!`
binding
syntax for generic and template parameters in favor of the keywords
`generic`,
`template`, and `runtime` plus contextual defaults for phase.
For valid programs this is semantics-preserving: each binding resolves
to the
same phase, and produces the same SemIR, as it did under `:!`/`:`. The
parser
derives a binding's phase from its syntactic context plus any explicit
phase
keyword; new diagnostics and error recovery for misused keywords are
described
below.
Implementation details for each component:
- Lexer: remove the `:!` (`ColonExclaim`) token, move its virtual
parse-node
budget onto `:`, and add the `generic` and `runtime` keywords.
- Parser: thread a `BindingContext` (`ExplicitParam`, `DeducedParam`, or
`CompileTimeEntityParam`) from declaration introducers down through
parameter
lists to each binding pattern, using a one-token lookahead to
distinguish a
name-qualifier parameter list from a declaration's own final list.
Parameters
of a compile-time entity (`class`, `interface`, `constraint`, `choice`,
`alias`, `export`, `namespace`) and deduced `[]` parameters default to
checked
generic; explicit function parameters and local bindings default to
runtime.
`HandleBindingPattern` resolves the phase from that context plus the
keyword: a
`generic` keyword needs no node of its own (the phase is carried by the
binding's node kind), while a `runtime` keyword is preserved as a
`RuntimeBindingName` node so `check` can name it in a diagnostic. A
phase
keyword that is merely redundant with the contextual default is
diagnosed
here, without invalidating the parse tree.
- Check: a phase keyword that is invalid for its context (for example
`runtime`
on a checked-generic parameter) is diagnosed here, and recovers by
building an
error binding that still introduces the name so that later uses of it do
not
produce cascading errors.
The removed `:!` syntax is now rejected as an ordinary parse error.
The `form`/`:?`/`->?` ("extended types") portion of proposal #7254 is
left for a
separate change.

`match_first` is a declaration followed by a curly-brace block of
declarations.
The check phase will ensure only impl decls (or defns) are inside the
block.
Implements proposal #7016: `self` moves from the deduced implicit list
(`fn F[self: Self]()`) to the front of the explicit list. Its type may
be written explicitly (`fn F(self: Self)`) or omitted, in which case it
defaults to `Self` (`fn F(self)`, `fn F(ref self)`); `self` in the
implicit list is rejected.
Throughout checking, `self` is modeled as the first explicit parameter.
Because a method is just a function whose first parameter is `self`, it
can also be called as an ordinary function with the receiver passed
explicitly (`Type.M(obj, ...)`), not only as `obj.M(...)`. A new
`SemIR::CallArgParamPatterns` helper chooses the parameters matched
against the explicit arguments, excluding a leading `self` only when it
is supplied as a method-call receiver; arity checking, conversion, and
generic deduction use it. The resulting SemIR and lowering are
unchanged: `self` is still `call_param0`, and witnesses, thunks, and
vtables are unaffected.
An omitted `self` type is parsed as a `SelfBindingPattern` node with no
type expression; checking synthesizes the `Self` type so it behaves
exactly like `self: Self`. However, the exact spelling used must match
between a forward declaration and a definition, following #3763's rules
around declaration matching.
Generated functions, thunks, and C++ interop import/export build `self`
as the first explicit parameter, and the `self`-type override (e.g.
Derived->Base for a virtual override) applies to the explicit `self`.
Placement is validated by new diagnostics: `SelfInImplicitParamList`,
`SelfNotFirstParam`, and `SelfOutsideParamList`. The benchmark source
generator and the documentation adopt the `(self)` shorthand; the
prelude, the examples, and the test data are migrated in the following
commits.

When parsing a pattern, if we encounter something that isn't pattern
syntax, try parsing as an expression instead. We only need one-token
lookahead to distinguish pattern syntax from expression syntax.
Track a precedence group through pattern parsing so that we can allow
different kinds of expressions in a top-level pattern (such as the
operand of `let`) and in a nested pattern (such as a subpattern of a
tuple pattern or within grouping parens). For example, we do not allow
`case if ...`, and for now I've chosen to also not allow logical or
relational operators at the top level of a pattern, so `case 1 + 1` is
OK, but `case 1 == 1` and `case true and false` require parentheses.
This decision should be ratified or revisited by a design proposal.
Very basic check support is also provided, only sufficient to form an
`ExprPattern` instruction and nothing beyond that. For now, all pattern
matching against an `ExprPattern` fails with a TODO error. To support
that, I've switched from calling `BeginSubpattern` in the parent handler
of a pattern and `EndSubpatternAs*` in the pattern handler itself to
calling both functions in parent handlers, with `EndSubpattern`
converting an expression into an expression pattern where needed.
Depends on #6976.

This change ensures that a function signature always starts with an
`IdentifierNameMaybeBeforeSignature` node (renamed from
`IdentifierNameBeforeParams`), even in the case of function declarations
like `fn F -> T` that have no parameter list. As a consequence, this
ensures that we push new entries onto `pattern_block_stack` and
`full_pattern_stack` when we start processing the function signature.
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.
We add a virtual node (`CompileTimeBindingPatternStart`) as the first
child of `CompileTimeBindingPattern` which holds the identifier
underneath it, so that it is checked just before the type expression of
the `CompileTimeBindingPattern`. When we reach this virtual node during
check, we add `.Self` as a name in the current scope, and when we reach
`CompileTimeBindingPattern` we remove it from scope, which ensures it's
present during only the checking of the type expression for the compile
time pattern.
At the moment the `.Self` has a different type (it's a `TypeType`) than
other `.Self` in the facet type (which are a single `FacetType`), but
the intention is to immediately substitute it out of the facet type
entirely, replacing it with a reference to the compile time binding (a
`BindSymbolicName`) itself. A TODO has been added for this.

Parameter lists need substantially different treatment than tuple
patterns in other contexts, so this change splits them into separate
parse node kinds.

To do this, we restructure the parse tree to make `forall` a leaf node
that comes before the parameter list.

This removes some churn when adding new diagnostic cases to test files
(where previous to this change the newly added newline would cause the
previous diagnostic CHECKs to be updated including changes to the line
number because the CHECK for the blank line meant an extra line between
CHECK and source line).
A few alternatives discussed here:

This change splits `NodeKind::IdentifierName` into separate node kinds
depending on whether the identifier is followed by parameters, and
similarly splits `NameQualifier` based on whether the qualifier has
parameters. This enables us to only push a pattern block when it's
actually needed, rather than "defensively" pushing one when it might be
needed.

Also surround it in square brackets rather than parentheses. This
matches the format used by Clang and GCC, and means diagnostics will
still match the `file:line:col: error: ` pattern used by some IDE tools.
Before:
```console
fail_builtins.carbon:11:11: error(AliasRequiresNameRef): alias initializer must be a name reference
```
After:
```console
fail_builtins.carbon:11:11: error: alias initializer must be a name reference [AliasRequiresNameRef]
```
Also tighten up test regex to only match on `STDERR` lines that list a
file name.
This is to help identify which diagnostics we're actually using.
Note that driver/testdata still has tests which don't pass this flag,
and so continue to test the kind-less (default) behavior.
This is a primarily automated change:
- Search & replace for capitalization
-
`(CARBON_DIAGNOSTIC\((?:\n\s+)?\w+,(?:\n\s+)?\s\w+,(?:\n\s+)?\s")([A-Z])`
- `$1\L$2`
- Search & replace for period
-
`(CARBON_DIAGNOSTIC\((?:\n\s+)?\w+,(?:\n\s+)?\s\w+,(?:\n\s+)?\s"(?:[^)]|\n)+)\.("[,)])`
- `$1$2`
- Limited search & replace for `ERROR: ` -> `error: ` in streamed things
- Leaving a TODO for command_line because there's more cleanup that can
be done there
- Modify diagnostic_consumer.cpp
- ERROR -> error
- WARNING -> warning

This has is a nice-to-have for me. Frequently I want to run a specific
test, and end up digging through output to be able to copy-paste the run
line. This uses TIP lines to inject the command into the file when using
AUTOUPDATE.
Note, one of the reasons I want this is because "bazel test
//toolchain/testing:file_test --test_output=all" has been regularly
exceeding bazel's output limit for me (workaround is either opening the
output file or specifying an obscure output limit flag), making it a
little harder for me to get the commands. However, frequently I'm adding
a file and want to iterate on it, so that's really the use case I have
in mind here.
Parse the name of a declaration as a sequence of `NameQualifier`s --
which have a name, possibly parameters, and a trailing period --
followed by a name and possibly parameters. This prepares us for parsing
declarations of members of generic classes and similar cases, but
actually supporting such member redeclarations is left to a future
change.
We previously required functions to have parameters, but no longer do,
following the direction of #3848. Cases like namespaces that can't
actually have parameters are now diagnosed in check instead of in parse.

The purpose of the newline is to make it clearer where a given
diagnostic begins and ends, particularly as the first message of a
diagnostic may not be the error.
This is a trivial code change, but ripples edits through test files.
On the parsing side, we treat `a.(b)` as a member access whose second
operand is a `ParenExpr` rather than a `MemberName`. A new node category
is added for the union of `MemberName` and `ParenExpr` to support this.
Checking is mostly reusing the same pieces we already have for simple
member access. Compound member access is in most ways a simplified form
of simple member access because it doesn't need to do any lookup.
Use two different nodes for "<type> followed by `as`" and "<type>
omitted before `as`, use `self`", so it is easier to determine which
case. Later the second case will push the type id for `self` onto the
node stack, making the two paths more similar.
