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.

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.

The `unused` modifier is rejected on parameters of a function
declaration, but the check only covered the explicit parameter list, so
an implicit parameter (such as self or a compile-time binding) could
carry unused without a definition. Check the implicit parameter list
too.
The code changes and the test updates are split into two commits for
easier review.

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.
Move logic to merge class and function definitions onto Class and
Function, matching how we handle merging for EntityWithParamsBase.

- 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 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 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.
Implementation of unused pattern bindings #2022, continued.
Whereas previous PR #6460 took care of parsing, and PR #6479 prepared
the stage by using _ in some test cases, this PR has the the actual
implementation, using a simple dataflow analysis.

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.
Allow an argc parameter and an argv parameter to be passed. For now we
check that argc is an i32 and argv is a pointer. The rules here are not
yet decided -- see #6735 -- but we should at least allow C-style access
to argv for now in order to unblock experimentation.
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.

I need to do more work on the custom witness functions. This is trying
to make it easier to see the differences between the approaches before I
resume work there (e.g. this helps flag a possible reason I was having
trouble switching definitions when it came to generics, I think those
are mishandled right now).
This changes the thunk test because it was doing
`CheckFunctionDefinitionSignature` in a different order from
`handle_function.cpp`, and I think `handle_function.cpp` is more
canonical here (changing that affects tests with defined functions).

Functions in an interface definition are wrapped in an AssociatedEntity
instruction, which the logic for finding a previous declaration must
unwrap to find the FunctionDecl.
This is controlled by the NameScope::is_interface_definition() flag,
which is true for interfaces, and causes this extra wrapping to occur
when adding the function to the scope.
Add a new builtin function `cpp.std.initializer_list.make` that takes an
array and returns a `std::initializer_list`, initialized to refer to
that array. When C++ initialization wants to perform a
`std::initializer_list`-from-array construction, synthesize a
declaration of a matching builtin function and use that to perform the
initialization.
Ideally we would specify this conversion as an impl of `ImplicitAs` in
the prelude instead of hardcoding it in the interop layer, but
unfortunately that's not currently possible, for various reasons -- we
can't make the conversion form-generic, we can't deduce the array length
from the initializer, and we can't deduce against the arguments of
imported C++ class templates yet -- so for now synthesizing a builtin
function on demand is the best we can do.

This adds the necessary parser infrastructure to recognize and parse
lambda expressions in Carbon.
Key changes:
- Added and Parse Node Kinds.
- Updated to use to accommodate the growing number of node kinds.
- Implemented parser states and handlers for lambda syntax ( or ).
- Added structure to .
- Added diagnostics for missing lambda bodies.
- Added a stub in phase to defer semantic analysis using .
- Added parser tests for lambdas.
The main changes here are:
- Introducing `InitForm` and `RefForm` to represent initializing and
reference forms (the two return forms currently supported by the
parser).
- Introducing the `FormType` singleton inst to represent their type
(i.e. `Core.Form`).
- Emitting an inst representing a function's declared return form as
part of handling the function signature.
The return form inst is currently ignored. Subsequent PRs will expose it
in `SemIR::Function` and use it to determine the form of call
expressions.
This approach is more robust because there's no intermediate state where
the `ParamPattern` insts have been created, but don't yet have their
final values.
This separates the return type from the return pattern, and replaces the
return pattern with a block of return patterns. This is a step toward
support for `ref` returns (where there's no corresponding return
pattern) and compund-form returns (where there may be multiple return
patterns).
`fn destroy` is being removed per decision on #6124. It seems like the
relevant decision will result in no more keyword-based function names,
so this is removing all related support.
This proposal renames the syntax used to mark an overriding definition
of a virtual method from `impl fn` to `override fn` to avoid ambiguity:
besides indicating an overriding virtual function, it can be parsed as
an "impl" declaration when the construct following "impl" begins with a
lambda introduced by "fn".
Closes#5711

Also update `RequestVtableIfVirtual` to strip `impl` from functions in
classes without a base class - this avoids a duplicate diagnostic where
they're diagnosed as being in a class without a base class, then
diagnosed again because they don't have a matching function in a base
class.
This preserves the constant values of the arguments to the thunk, which
is important if the thunk requires conversion of an `IntLiteral` to some
other type. This should become unnecessary once we have form support,
but avoiding the indirection through a thunk function seems valuable
even once that support is in place.
To support this, track whether a function is a thunk on the Function
object, and if so, what the callee of the thunk is. This information is
also included in formatted SemIR when dumping the thunk.
Instead of using somewhat different approaches for defining in-line
methods at the end of the enclosing scope and defining thunks at the end
of the enclosing scope, we now use the same worklist for both.
This fixes a bug where we would crash when defining thunks if there
happens to be nothing else on the deferred definition worklist, leading
to our leaving the enclosing impl scope before we try to define the
pending thunk. That would only happen if the impl contains no in-line
member function bodies, so only if the impl has only a forward
declaration or a builtin declaration for every method. The latter
case happens (a lot) if we start using thunks in the prelude impls.
One complicating factor here is that this means the deferred definition
worklist moves from the layer containing `check/handle*` and
`check/check_unit.cpp` into the layer containing `check/context.cpp`.
Allowing that required moving a couple of other things that it depends
on -- notably `SuspendedFunction` and `HandleSuspendedFunction` --
around.
This reclaims a bit inside `LocId`. I'm hopeful we don't actually need
to store the token-only state.
Note I'm looking at this in the context of desugaring; I was thinking
about changing `ToImplicit` logic a little to push more towards
`GetCanonicalLocId`, and the "desugaring" TODO there. Removing
`ToTokenOnly` makes me feel a little more free to rename `ToImplicit`,
since it eliminates consistency as a question.
Instead of building the definition of a thunk immediately when we
generate the thunk declaration, wait until we reach the `}` of the
outermost class, interface, etc. -- at the same time when we would parse
the definition of the thunk if it were defined inline.
This fixes issues where we fail to define the thunk because it requires
an enclosing class to be complete, or its definition depends on
something declared later in the enclosing class.
Make the representation of a suspended function scope, and its
constituent suspended components, be move-only, and switch to passing it
around by rvalue reference instead of by value because it's expensive
both to move and especially to copy.

Instead of building an eval block as a separate pass at the end of a
generic, build the eval block incrementally.
The larger change here is that asking for the type or constant value of
an instruction now always returns an unattached type or constant value,
in order to preserve the behavior that we previously achieved by doing
the rewrite to attached types and constant values at the end of handling
the generic.
This also incidentally fixes some subtle issues where attached types and
constant values would leak out into check and cause it to get confused
about differences between attached and unattached values. Check should
no longer see attached values except where it explicitly asks for them.

Remove calls to `InstStore::GetLocId()` to build a LocId from an InstId
now that they can be constructed directly from the InstId. Most uses of
LocId are just plumbing, so this does not affect them. However places
that want to look inside the LocId do not want to work with the InstId
form. In these places, introduce `InstStore::GetResolvedLocId()` which
converts a LocId (or an InstId as an optimization) into a LocId which is
not backed by an InstId. These locations can be printed (they have a
line and column when they are a NodeId), they can have flags added to
them (`ToImplicit`, `ToTokenOnly`), they can be converted to an
underlying ImportIRInstId, or they may be `None`.
`Dump()` is made to print a resolved location instead of printing the
InstId in the location, since (at least in my experience) the resolved
location is what is interesting in debugging, and this saves manual
`MakeInstId` steps in the debugger every time a location is of interest.
The LocId constructor from InstId is made `explicit` to add clarity to
function calls passing an `inst_id` now directly instead of calling
`context.insts().GetLocId(inst_id)`. To avoid needing to construct
`SemIR::LocId(...)` explicitly in all cases though, the diagnostics code
in Check uses `DiagnosticLocId` as its template parameter which accepts
InstId as well and does the construction of LocId from it.
Because LocId now requires an explicit construction from InstId, any
callers to `AddInst()` functions will have to explicitly convert to
LocId if they had an InstId, but not if they pass a NodeId. To make this
difference clear to callers, we `requires` that the input type can be
converted to LocId. This ensures that passing an InstId results in an
error at the callsite where the InstId is passed, instead of generating
a compiler error when trying to construct `LocIdAndInst` inside
`AddInst()`, which is less clear about what went wrong and doesn't seem
entirely intentional.

Not entirely sure what the SemIR representation for this should be - do
we put the bogus thing in the vtable, and just not lower it later? The
patch currently doesn't add the function to the SemIR vtable - which
then means you could find a virtual function that's not in the vtable,
which seems similarly confusing.
I guess we could make the function non-virtual?

Right now, return_scope_stack is being used to determine whether logic
is in a function scope. However, we need to handle nested entities
inside function scopes. For example where this crashes right now:
```
base class C(B:! bool) {}
fn F() {
class B {
extend base: C(true or false);
}
}
```
This is doing a few things to make this kind of code not crash:
- Split `scope_stack().Push` into `PushForDeclName`, `PushForEntity`,
`PushForExpr`, and `PushForFunction` so that better decisions can be
made about behaviors.
- Hide `return_scope_stack` in the API, instead using interfaces to get
at the underlying data.
- Also using `PushForFunction` to update it similar to the other stacks
that `ScopeStack` manages.
- Add `IsInFunctionScope` as the best way to determine presence in
function scope.
- Remove `PeekIsLexicalScope` since destruction really wants function
scope information anyways.
- Clean up `destroy_id_stack` handling to be for function scopes rather
than lexical scopes.
- Return after related `context.TODO`s in a couple more spots, so that
code doesn't proceed to add control flow in spite of the lack of
support.

Provide builtins for compound assignments instead of defining them in
the prelude as a use of a binary operator and an assignment. This allows
us to lower compound assignment directly to LLVM operations instead of
producing a function call. In the short term this also allows us to
define a type-generic compound assignment in the prelude.
`FindIfOrNull` returns a pointer to the element in the range if it's
found, and nullptr otherwise. `FindIfOrNone` returns a copy of the
element in the range if it's found, and `T::None` (for a range of
elements of type `T`) otherwise. `Contains` returns a bool indicating
whether the element in the range is found.
These functions replace `llvm::find()` and `llvm::find_if()` when you
want a single answer back instead of an iterator. This avoids the need
to check against `end()`, allowing the return condition to be tested as
a standard bool.
We replace uses of `find()` and `find_if()` that did not require an
iterator with these new helpers.
Note that the return type of `FindIfOrNull` is a pointer since we can
not write `optional<T&>`, which must be tested for null. If the null
check is omitted, UB occurs and the resulting code may end up with an
incorrect pointer (https://crbug.com/40153300) into the range (or
elsewhere), rather than a null dereference. And this would be very
confusing to debug. Hopefully debug builds and sanitizers keep this from
being an issue we sink a bunch of time into debugging.
This fake generic was used for two reasons:
- The declaration name stack assumes that each declaration name is
processed within a generic scope. This is important if the name might
have generic parameters, which are always parsed even for declarations
that disallow them in check.
- Out-of-line redeclarations of generic entities produce instructions
with symbolic constant values in non-generic scopes.
The former case is addressed by pushing a generic each time we start a
declaration name, even if we will reject generic parameters later. The
latter case is worked around for now by not building a symbolic constant
type or value for instructions that appear outside of any generic, and
will be addressed more completely by #5310 and follow-ups.
