This is shorter, more closely connected to code using the typed node
types, and avoids using the ambiguous word `Node` in places referring to
typed `SemIR` nodes.
Replace `SemIR::Node::GetAsFoo` and `SemIR::Node::Foo::Make` with
`SemIR::Foo` class that represents a particular kind of node, with named
fields.
Rename `SemIR::IntegerLiteral` and `SemIR::RealLiteral` to
`IntegerValue` / `RealValue` to better reflect their purpose and avoid a
name collision with the corresponding `SemIR` node kinds.
Remove `NodeKind::Invalid` and the `SemIR::Node` default constructor
entirely, as they were not used for anything.
A `let` declaration is represented by a `bind_name` node in SemIR:
```carbon-semir
%b: i32 = bind_name "b", %a
```
Because `Check` encounters the pattern before it sees the value, we
first create the `bind_name` node with an unset value and don't add it
to the block. Then, once we've seen and converted the initializer, we
update the `bind_name` to have the value and add it to the current
block, after the initializer code.
Also add `name_reference_untyped` for references to non-first-class
names without types, which currently covers namespaces and functions.
This improves the fidelity of the SemIR representation, and fixes some
issues where we would use the wrong location for nodes and diagnostics
downstream of a name reference.
We're still missing a representation for dotted name expressions, such
as `Namespace.Function`, and we don't use the `untyped` node as an
operand of any other node yet.
Trust semantics to have put them in the right places.
Many parts of lowering still need to be updated to use the value
representation chosen at the semantics layer, but this is an incremental
step towards that.
Fix a bug where we would perform the computation of the return location
in SemIR after we have already used it in some cases, leading to
assertion failures during lowering. Instead, accumulate a sequence of
instructions to compute the return location in a temporary block, and
overwrite the return slot with those instructions when we perform
initialization.
StubReference is replaced by a more general SpliceBlock node, that takes
a code block and a result value, executes the instructions in the block,
and produces the result. This is used in the uncommon case where more
than one instruction is required to compute the return slot, which can
happen if we need to first emit a temporary and then index into it, or
if we need to perform multiple levels of indexing before we reach an
entity to initialize.
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.
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).
