* Change `InterfaceWitness` -> `ImplWitness`
* Include a `SpecificId` in the `ImplWitness`. This allows the
`InstBlock` it contains to have its own identity, allowing it to be
changed as the impl is processed. Evaluation only updates the specific.
* Create the `ImplWitness` at the start of the impl definition. In the
future, this will be populated with the values of non-function
associated constants. For now, it starts full of invalid instruction
ids.
* Implements the model suggested in #4672 .
Note that the non-SemIR testdata changes are to these file:
* `toolchain/check/testdata/impl/lookup/fail_todo_undefined_impl.carbon`
* `toolchain/check/testdata/struct/import.carbon`
* `toolchain/check/testdata/tuple/import.carbon`
The last two are due to an import of generics bug exposed by this PR,
which will be fixed in a follow-on.

Instead of treating `Core.Int` as the toolchain's builtin `IntType`,
model it as a class that adapts the builtin type. This aligns us better
with the intended language model, gives an associated library for
`impl`s involving `Core.Int` to live within, and opens the door adding
member functions to `Core.Int` if we decide that is desirable.
Remarkably it also seems to make the formatted SemIR a little smaller,
because a call to a generic class generates less IR than a call to a
function.
When a generic requires a symbolic type to be complete, add a new
`require_complete_type` instruction to the generic eval block. During
monomorphization of such an instruction, require that type to be
complete.
The offsets were originally added to deal with churn from builtins in
the raw semir. In textual semir, we mostly see instruction IDs for
imports, and builtins have also settled down more.
On imports, where possible, use the `EntityNameId` for an import instead
of printing an instruction. Next, show the source location if we have a
node. Only show the instruction if there's no location.
This also exposes `Parse::Tree` and `TokenizedBuffer`, so that we can
pass a `SemIR::File` without the component parts. In particular this
allows us to get the `TokenizedBuffer` for import IRs without
substantial structural modifications. We may want to make these optional
for serialized `SemIR` later, but the nodes/tokens contain source
location, which we'd need for debug information -- so it's not clear how
much we can really make them optional without substantial information
loss.
Reduce arguments to just `File` in a few spots, as a result of the
accompanying `TokenizedBuffer` and `Parse::Tree`. Also updates style to
pass around `const File*` where the reference is maintained, instead of
`const File&`.
I was considering keeping a direct reference to the tree and tokens on
`Context`, but initially my thought was it wouldn't make much
difference. I can re-add those if desired, just as direct caching of the
`File` fields.
This fixes a crash in lowering, at least (though only initializes the
vptr to
null for now) - certainly open to naming feedback on the instruction, or
the
exact semantics (we could have a global vptr instruction that's
referenced from
the existing instructions for reading globals, for instance).
I guess we'll want one type parameter for the vptr_init instruction,
which is
the type that this is a vptr for? (can do that here or in a follow-on
patch)
`ids.h` and `ids.cpp` are the manual edits, everything else is
search-and-replace.
The full list of things moved is:
- `TypeId::TypeType`
- `TypeId::AutoType`
- `TypeId::Error`
- `ConstantId::Error`
This is to unblock removing `InstId::Builtin*`.
Adds a singleton framework, and converts `File` and `InstId::Print` to
demonstrate functionality. Moves various functions from `ids.h` to
`ids.cpp` because `Inst::Print` needs the file if `singleton_insts.h` is
split out, so the small bit of cleanup feels consistent.
I added `Inst::MakeSingleton` because getting the type of the
instruction to make from an `InstKind` felt too hard. Singleton
instructions follow a basic structure, so I'm just putting that
instruction structure into `Inst`. Previously we required macros to do
this, and I'm trying to remove macro dependencies.
I'm trying to remove builtin/singleton-related functionality from
`InstId` in order to get a clearer boundary for the functionality. The
other builtin functions should be removed as part of the bigger
migration, but I'm trying to carefully scope changes to verify agreement
on the singleton approach in use first.
This provides `InstT::SingletonInstId` because that'll often be written
as `SemIR::TypeType::SingletonInstId`. The alternative of something like
`SemIR::SingletonInstId<SemIR::TypeType>` is just a little more verbose
due to the repeated `SemIR`, and it's more consistent with
`TypeType::Kind`.
An alternative I considered was consolidating singleton information to
`InstKind`. This felt challenging because of the
`InstId::BuiltinTypeType` and similar values. Maintaining those would
turn into something like `InstKind::IsSingleton()` and
`InstId::Singleton<TypeType>`, which didn't feel like as good a split.
`InstId::Print` remains aware of singletons, but I'm hoping to remove
other builtin-related calls from `InstId`.
Another thing I considered was adding `.is_singleton = true` to
`InstKind::Definition`. I don't think we could rely on that to get
`InstId::Singleton<TypeType>` set up as `constexpr`, though. At that
point, I think it'd mainly be _just_ a comment-like annotation, maybe
validated with `CHECK` but not having any effect on its own. So I
decided not to do that, just adding comments instead.
Sidenotes:
- "singleton" naming was discussed [on
#toolchain](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/655578254970716160/1308870233729269781).
- The TODO in file.h about possibly excluding other things than
singletons seems moot. That's for raw IR, and we're much more focused on
textual IR these days.

Adds `FacetAccessWitness` instruction and uses it in `member_access.cpp`
to support accessing members of facets. Still to do: interface witness
access is producing runtime values when it should produce symbolic
values.

This is really a set of closely related changes:
1) We really shouldn't be creating a Check::Unit for _Lower_. This fixes
that by storing the diagnostic converter for reuse.
2) Rather than passing in node converters to Check as their own array,
pass diagnostic converters as part of Check::Unit.
3) To support creating the converters early, pass SemIR::File
pre-constructed.
4) Since SemIR::File construction was used to track "checked", add
`is_checked` for that.
5) Clarifies a subtle edge case around `input_filename_` use with `-`.
Note the key consequence of this change, where I actually started, is
that `Check` only has one array of `Check::Unit` instead of receiving
`NodeLocConverter` as a separate array.
This is stamping out the per-instruction structs, similar to what we do
elsewhere. `BuiltinInstKind::label` then finishes shifting to
`InstKind::ir_name`.
The new `FacetValue` instruction represents `C as I` for some type `C`
and facet type `I`. It is named `FacetValue` instead of just `Facet` to
parallel the `FacetType` instruction.
This PR uses this instruction represent the facet value `Self` in an
`impl` declaration. This instruction will be used in the future to also
support things like:
* `C as I` where `C` is a class; and
* forming a specific for a generic with a `T:! I` parameter where `T` is
being given a concrete value.
(Here `I` is an interface or other non-`type` facet type.)
Also do some renaming and add some comments to make things a bit more
clear.
* `FacetTypeAccess` -> `FacetAccessType` to clarify this is not access
of a facet type, but access of the type of a facet
* `.facet_id` -> `.facet_value_inst_id` to parallel the `FacetValue`
instruction
`FacetAccessWitness` will be in a future PR.

Adds per-builtin instructions, removing `BuiltinInst`. This collapses
`builtin_inst_kind.def` into `inst_kind.def` so that we have a single
place for all macro uses. I still want to remove `BuiltinInstKind`, but
it's something I think is better separated from the `BuiltinInst`
removal.
I'm collapsing the build targets `ids` and `inst_kind` into one because
they both have links to builtin kind information now. It's hard to
separate without a cycle. I'm using the `typed_insts` name because that
seems like the actual most significant thing there, and more interesting
relative to the `inst` target.
This is for more clearly distinct names, and to make it a clearer
transition from `BuiltinInst` for name conflicts. `FloatType` is also an
instruction, and we have `Carbon::Error` (common/error.h). This avoids
affecting tests, although the name is embedded in the builtin test.
In `LegacyFloatType`, `Legacy` because I was having trouble coming up
with a more appropriate name. I'm not clear this is a `FloatLiteralType`
at present, it needs some work to mirror `IntLiteralType`.
In `ErrorInst`, the suffix `Inst` was discussed as good and similar to
`BuiltinInst` (although I'm trying to get rid of that).
This does a few things:
* Replaces the single `TypeId` in the `FacetTypeInfo` struct with a
vector of `InterfaceId`, `SpecificId` pairs (sorted in id order)
representing the set of interface requirements of the facet type. This
will later be used to support facet types with multiple interface
requirements (as in `I & J` or `I where .Self impls J`).
* Replace `InterfaceType` instructions (used as the type of an
`InterfaceDecl` instruction) with `FacetType` instructions (introduced
in #4460) with a (newly introduced) `FacetTypeFromInterface()` function.
* Replace code that consumed `InterfaceType` values with code that
consumed `FaceType` values. I've generally left the assumption in the
code that it is dealing with a single interface, using the (newly
introduced) `FacetTypeInfo::TryAsSingleInterface`, and producing an
error otherwise. There isn't yet support for the `&` operator or `where
.Self impls`, so this is generally a good assumption for now, except you
can get a facet type with no associated interfaces from a `type
where`... expression. In some cases, the facet type value is pulled from
the evaluation of an `InterfaceDecl` instruction, where the single
interface assumption will hold permanently.
* Some related cleans up: nicer stringification and formatting of facet
types, suppression of some errors when there already was an error.
There is still a lot left to do, including:
* Type `type` should be a facet type with a reserved id, replacing the
built-in instruction.
* Code using `TryAsSingleInterface` should generally be upgraded to
handle more than (or less than) one interface. Name lookup should be
particularly exciting.
* Operator `&` should be defined on facet types, unioning their
interface and other requirements.
* Requirements from a `where` clause don't do anything yet.
* Impls and impl lookup need to resolve facet types, and do things like
determine if all the associated constants are given values.

This converts `StructTypeField` from an instruction to a dedicated type,
with its own store. This had originated from discussing how
`.GetAs<SemIR::StructTypeField>` was more prevalent than for other
instructions, but is probably more interesting for the storage savings
(16 bytes StructTypeField + 4 byte LocId + 4 byte InstId -> 8 byte
StructTypeField).
Due to the different structure, these now have their own stack during
construction, reducing (but not eliminating) `args_type_info_stack_`
use-cases.
The test changes of different InstIds is expected because structs and
classes generate fewer instructions now. Other than that, results should
remain the same.
I'm generally trying to avoid unrelated cleanup here due to the PR size,
though I did scrutinize the `VerifyOnFinish` calls, adding one and
commenting others (putting them in member order because that's how I was
checking what was verified and what wasn't).
Previously Collect() was used for types that implemented
CollectMemUsage() but otherwise Add() was used. This required the caller
to think about the type of the field and know/decide which method to
use.
Now, the caller always uses Collect() unless they are adding specific
byte values, in which case Add is used. Typically then, Add will only be
used to implement the CollectMemUsage() function.
To do this we require all Collect() methods to be templates so that they
all be a single overload set. The Collect on BumpPtrAllocator is
converted to a template that checks
`std::same_as<llvm::BumpPtrAllocator, T>`.
Still to do:
* Represent facet type values in a canonical form
* Produce & consume facet type values instead of interface values
* `type` should be associated with a canonical facet type value
* Support `&` on facet type values
* Type check and enforce requirements in facet types

This is in anticipation of making the integer value store be customized
heavily. I'd like to extract it from the common code when doing that, so
first disentangling them here without any intended change in
functionality or behavior to enable that.
I've tried to update `#include`s to be as minimal as I can and added a
few missing includes spotted in the process.
I've split the test for value store to include what was easy focused on
just the value store templates rather than the unified shared value
stores.
This might surface some opportunities for adding more tests, but for
this PR, just doing the minimal restructuring.
This instruction represents integer values, whether they come from
literals or calculations, so it the old name is inaccurate. I also plan
to rename `BigInt` to `IntLiteral` based on recent discussion and this
change aims to avoid confusion stemming from the same name being used
for two different things.
I'm not renaming `FloatLiteral` because recent discussion suggests we
may want distinct `FloatLiteral` versus `FloatValue` representations in
SemIR.
- Generate runtime indices as part of pattern matching, rather than as a
separate postprocessing/rewriting step.
- In contexts where runtime parameters aren't permitted, avoid emitting
insts for them to begin with, rather than trying to detect the problem
and rewrite the IR to remove them later on.
Also propagate the pattern IR along with the pattern-match IR, and use
it where appropriate.
Strictly speaking, some parts of the pattern-match IR are allocated
eagerly, while traversing the pattern's parse tree, but they still
aren't actually emitted until we traverse the associated pattern insts.

Add a new `specific_function` instruction that represents a generic
function plus its deduced argument list as a callee in a function call.
The new instruction can only appear as the immediate operand of a call
instruction, so we give it a builtin placeholder type.
At the end of each file, require definitions for all specific functions
used in that file. Resolve the generic with the argument list to produce
those specific function definitions as needed, and diagnose if the
generic doesn't have a definition available.
A few tests are updated in cases where they declared and used generic
functions but didn't previously provide a function definition.
Instead of stringifying types in the caller in some cases, add new types
to represent:
- `InstIdAsType`: an `InstId` diagnostic argument that represents a type
expression that should be included in the diagnostic
- `InstIdAsTypeOfExpr`: an `InstId` diagnostic argument that represents
an expression whose type should be included in the diagnostic
For these cases, we can produce more user-friendly descriptions of a
type than we can with a canonicalized `TypeId`. Add comments to
discourage using `TypeId` diagnostic arguments when one of the above can
be used, and move over existing uses where it's straightforward to do
so.
Move type stringification code to its own files and out of `SemIR::File`
to make `File` smaller and to further discourage the direct use of the
stringification logic.
Also update type printing to include the `` ` `` delimiters surrounding
the type. The intent is that we will eventually want to include other
information when formatting a type, like Clang does when printing a
typedef (`'string' (aka 'std::basic_string<char>')`), and such
formatting requires that the diagnostic machinery produces the `` ` ``s
itself.
There are a couple of cases where we really want to format valid Carbon
type syntax directly into a diagnostic, rather than an `aka` or similar,
because the diagnostic text includes part of the type itself, for
example: ``"consider using `partial {0}`"``. For such cases, a `Raw`
form of the diagnostic argument types is added: `TypeIdAsRawType` and
`InstIdAsRawType`. In principle we could instead use ``"consider using
`partial {0:raw}`"``, but our diagnostic machinery isn't set up for
that.

Introduces the `BindingPattern` and `SymbolicBindingPattern` insts, and
a separate stack of pattern blocks that they are emitted into. The
intent is to generate the corresponding pattern-matching insts (like
`BindName`) from them in a separate pass, but that is deferred to future
PRs.
See
[here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U_vQH17V893J9aF1LJXUnFYBNSs2MjKl4bJPaWCB2zo/edit?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-w0xGYZ0An31Kpz-wvzSXwQ)
for the design this is based on, but note that during review we have
chosen to deviate from that design by putting the patterns in separate
blocks, and omitting the "forward references" from a `BindingPattern` to
its corresponding `BindName`. This in turn necessitates having separate
inst kinds for symbolic and non-symbolic binding patterns.

Add support for initializing types like `GenericClass(i32)` from a
struct literal. A new kind of instruction, `complete_type_witness`, is
added to the class definition to track the object representation type so
that it's visible to the generics machinery. Accesses to the object
representation of a class have all been updated to pass in the class's
`SpecificId` so that the types of the fields of the specific class are
used instead of the types of the fields of the generic class in places
that look at the object representation -- primarily class
initialization.
This switches `DCHECK` and `FATAL` as well.
The goal is to reduce the code size impact of these assertions so that
we can keep more of them enabled. Currently, the largest cost I see from
`CHECK` is not the actual check or the cold code itself, but actually
the failure to inline trivial functions due to the presence of the cold
code. This means that our goal isn't to reduce apparent code size in the
final binary but the LLVM IR cost assessed for these routines in the
inliner, which closely correlates with code size but is a bit different.
As discussed in #4283, experimentation shows that a single function call
with a minimal number of arguments is the lowest cost model for these.
This is easily achieved with a format-string API that internally uses
`llvm::formatv`. This PR is essentially the `CHECK` version of #4283.
However, the check macros are substantially harder to make work with
both format strings and streaming because they also take a condition.
Also, unexpectedly, I was very successful at devising a regular
expression based automated rewrite from the streaming to the format
string form with only low 10s of manual fixes. This includes compacting
strings broken up across lines, etc. Given how well that went, I've
prepared this PR which just directly switches to the format string API
and migrate everything to use it.
One nice side-effect is that the format string approach ends up greatly
simplifying the implementation here as well.
This is ... *shockingly* effective. Parsing speeds up by more than 3%
with just this change. And checking speeds up by **8%** with this change
alone:

This prepares us for modeling associated entities of parameterized
interfaces.
We don't use the interface parameters when type-checking `impl`s or uses
of interface members yet, but we do now check interface arguments during
`impl` lookup.
Rename `ReturnInfo` to `ReturnTypeInfo`. Move it and `InitRepr` into
`type_info.h` alongside `ValueRepr`. Replace `ReturnSlot` with
`InitRepr`, and extend `InitRepr` to be able to represent the
incomplete-type case instead of CHECK-failing. Remove `has_return_slot`
from `InitRepr` and instead only provide that as part of
`ReturnTypeInfo`.
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.
Also adds import_ir_scope to namespace formatting. I'd done this as an
aid for #4153, and am splitting it out.

This better follows the principle that types are simply constants of
type `type`, and allows more uniform treatment of types as just another
kind of constant from generics handling.
Use a hash table to map from `TypeId` to information about the complete
type. This makes basic operations on types a bit simpler, and operations
that actually need to access the complete class information a bit more
complex.
We can't use the instruction from the generic directly, because it
doesn't have the right constant value. Instead add an instruction that
models the transition from the constant value in the generic to the
constant value in the generic instance.
Also start associating the self generic instance with unqualified
lookups that find results in an enclosing generic, so that we track the
information necessary to create the new instruction.

This adds `DefinitionInfo` for `Define`-based configuration so that
parameters are optional. It also makes it easier to provide the
equivalent functions on both `Definition` and `Define`.
A common pattern used here is to change from a `switch` with in-line
`case`s to instead have `case`s that call an overloaded function. What's
happening here is that the instruction type is used to select an
overload, and if an overload is not defined, a compiler error would
result. Meanwhile, clusters of overloads are being defined using
`requires`-based templating, so that equivalent implementations are not
copied. This addresses a limitation of a vanilla `switch` approach where
it's hard to have redundant cases using conditional logic, while also
getting compiler errors when adding new `InstKind` entries, which had
been a significant part of why we used macros previously.
This starts hitting some odd clang-format edge cases causing
`CARBON_KIND_SWITCH(inst){` (missing space), which I haven't seen
before. Adding `CARBON_KIND_SWITCH` to .clang-format works around it.
I'm trying to increase the distinction between BuiltinKind and
BuiltinFunctionKind. BuiltinKind is for instructions,
BuiltinFunctionKind is for function definitions. To get to this point,
I'm doing a few changes:
- BuiltinKind -> BuiltinInstKind
- builtin_kind.* -> builtin_inst_kind.*: filename consistency
- Builtin -> BuiltinInst: mainly for consistency with the above
- Builtin::builtin_kind -> BuiltinInst::builtin_inst_kind: somewhat
repetitive but seems like a consistent edit
- Function::builtin_kind -> Function::builtin_function_kind: seems a
useful distinction
I'm leaving alone things like (and mentioning in case there's a desire
for more renames):
- InstId::BuiltinError, InstId::ForBuiltin: these I think are more
apparent because they're directly associated with Inst.
- GetBuiltinICmpPredicate in lowering: maybe builtin function handling
should be in its own file, but these local names don't feel problematic
to me.
- GetBuiltinType, BuildBuiltinValueRepr, PerformBuiltinIntComparison:
similar to the above, names don't feel too problematic
By adding an `ImportDecl` instruction, this creates something that can
be referenced through `ImportIRInst`.
packages/no_prelude/implicit_imports_entities.carbon is getting a test
of this (import_conflict and import_conflict_reverse).
Also re-packs ImportIR from 24 bytes to 16 on 64-bit, since I'm touching
everywhere that makes one anyways.
So, I noticed that ImportIRInst didn't print properly while trying to
debug an issue, and that's where this started. Then I was sort of trying
to figure out why we have "type_blocks" but "typeBlock", so trying to
make that more consistent. "importIRInst0" felt more odd than
"import_ir_inst0" which is why I'm suggesting down this particular
route, but let me know if you'd prefer the reverse (but then do we also
do "typeBlocks", etc, removing the consistency with the member name?)
Also starting to print more detail on import_irs, and added
import_ir_insts (adjusting formatting for that too).
This refactors how the implicit import is handled in order to retain
more name scope information. As a consequence, private access control
works better between api files and implementation files. Note though
that this will also be essential for name poisoning between the API and
implementation, as discussed in #3763.
In implementing this, I ran into a couple issues with namespaces that I
think point to flaws in their handling. I've fixed some and added a TODO
for the biggest issue (in check.cpp line 281-288), which relates to the
handling of namespaces of direct imports which are first evaluated
indirectly.
Also add a corresponding value store and YAML output.
We don't create any generic instances in this change; this is just
adding infrastructure for future changes.
