This addresses/avoids the duplicate import of vtables.
I went through a few iterations/etc along the way and left them in the
commit
history for the PR in case any of them are useful to illustrate how I
got here,
or worth revisiting.
Essentially I ended up with a circularity in importing - importing the
class
imported the vtable_decl which imported the virtual functions - and then
pending
specifics of the virtual functions needed the self specific of the
enclosing
class which wasn't ready yet.
Adding ImportRef to the vtable_decl to break the cycle caused me trouble
when
naming the vtable_decl instructions - so I tried making the functions in
the
vtable unloaded ImportRefs instead. That worked, but meant that
importing a
class still was doing O(number of vtable entries) even if the vtable
wasn't
used.
So I revisited the lazy vtable_decl - figured out how to make the naming
work
(when building the vtable_ptr, even though the vtable_decl doesn't have
to be
loaded for the vtable_ptr, I force it to be loaded anyway, to load the
vtable so
it's usable by lowering, etc). And then I could go back to the old
non-lazy
loaded vtable entries (using some loaded ImportRefs in the cases where
we needed
them/had already adopted them).
Then thinking about the VtablePtr instruction, went back/forth on
exactly what
it needed - went from VtablePtr's member being a VtableDecl InstId, to a
ClassId, then back to a VtableId as it was before this patch.
Naming the instructions has one oddity, that the VtableDecl and
VtablePtr
instructions seem to need to add the pending name for the VtableId -
despite not
using the VtableId in their own name - should the inst namer be doing
this work
for parameters of instructions rather than requiring the inst to do it
deliberately? (or am I holding it wrong in some way?)

I was thinking about this for destruction, which I may not be able to
use it for, but still think this may be a good change to keep features
consistent.
Similar to 26ec78ec00 - vtable entries
can't be unattached symbolic constants, because if they are they can't
be `GetValueInSpecific`d because they lack the context for their
generic/specific.
Importing mostly wants to make/import things as unattached constants -
but `ImportRef` supports attached constants, so use those - but we don't
need the laziness, so use `LoadedImportRef`.
Although this focused on `Destroy` support, some choices here around
`implicit_type_impls` are because copy/move will likely follow a similar
approach. I'm trying not to predict too much about how we'll structure
those, but I'm putting `Destroy` impl logic in a file that could perhaps
be shared with those. They'd likely be interested in similar things,
e.g. traversing members of types (particularly class, struct literal,
tuple literal).
At present this sets the destroy function as `no_op` which is consistent
with current logic, but has a TODO to correctly define.
Constant importing for functions changes slightly due to some issues I
was having with `GetFunctionType`. zygoloid suggested this approach to
avoid `EvalInst` logic.
Adds a flag for controlling whether to generating these impls. While
this does generation for `class`, as noted above this'll also need to be
done for tuples and struct literals, which would leave the `none.carbon`
min_prelude unable to use any types. Note if destruction *would* occur,
it'll still look up `Core.Destroy` for that and fail, but that's already
true of any test using `none.carbon`. I'm trying to use the flag to see
if we can keep `none.carbon` working mostly-consistently.
I'd tried separating out the flag to #5852, but that got a lot of
pushback over whether the behavior was appropriate. I'm hoping that the
interactions here make it clearer why the particular approach -- the
goal is not to enable advanced testing, or create some new end-user
behavior that we really support, it's just to keep no-prelude tests
functional. The main question raised there was why not just keep
generating `impl T as Core.Destroy` if `fn destroy` is present -- but I
think here it should be apparent that would require additional
complexity, as the generation of `impl T as Core.Destroy` is not
currently conditioned based on the implementation of `fn destroy`. I'd
rather add complexity to this flag only if it's enabling interesting
test functionality.

Otherwise these end up as unattached constants (see the baseline test
changes) and can't be resolved by `GetConstantValueInSpecific` in
lowering or in further derived vtables.
If the class is non-generic, then it's fine for the vtable entry for
some function inherited from a generic base is represented as an
unattached constant, since the specific in that specific_function is
already fully resolved.

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.
Some specific features:
* Use `SpecificFunction` for vtable entries for generic classes.
* Create specific constants for vtable entries in classes derived from
generic classes to reference the appropriate specific of the function
in the context of such a derived class.
* Create specific constants for vtable_ptrs for uses of specific generic
classes.

The goal was/is to reduce the overhead for vtables in generics - the
previous representation/prior to this patch caused a new vtable to be
created in every specific which isn't generally what we want for Carbon
generics (the whole specific/generic thing is meant to avoid creating
specific versions for things that can be a generic form parameterized by
a specific instead of manifest as a unique entity per specific)
So this moves vtables to a top level object (like functions, classes,
etc). Each dynamic class will have a vtable in this list.
Classes have a `vtable_ptr` instruction in them that points to the
vtable.
The actual generic support hasn't been implemented in this patch, as
I've been struggling with just getting this part of the migration going
& wanted to get it flushed out before adding the additional
complications.
It's possible more laziness when doing cross-file importing would be
suitable - for instance if we only need to reference the vtable from
another file, but don't need to know its individual contents, it may be
beneficial for the functions in the vtable to be import_refs (or to add
another layer of indirection - so it can be a single import_ref
all-or-nothing for the functions in the vtable).

These constant instructions are all TypeInstId already in their type,
and this makes their names match.
Change the name of MakeSingletonInstId as well and update its comment.
Adds a `virtual_index` to `SemIR::Function` used to determine which
vtable slot
to use when calling the given function.
Then use that to lower the function call to use the vtable and
specifically the
relative vtable ABI to match the vtable entries.
We frequently want to operate on singletons. Per discussion, drop
`Singleton` to make the code shorter.
This started off as wanting to write `inst_id.is_error()`, but the
dependency relationship between ids.h and singleton_insts.h would
require some kind of delayed evaluation to allow the implementation to
remain in headers (which I suspect is helpful to have for inlining). I
could have added something like `IsErrorInst`, forward declared in ids.h
and defined in singleton_insts.h (which would always be included by
typed_insts.h), but the template approach felt like a decent balance
between (a) removing the boilerplate `::SingletonInstId`, (b)
understandability, (c) still visually mirroring if we immediately return
a singleton, and (d) flexibility for more than just `ErrorInst`. But TBH
I'd probably still have written `is_error()` if it didn't require
addressing the cross-header cycle.
Then I tried `SemIR::InstId::Is<SemIR::ErrorInst>`, which generally
worked with types but generated the complaint that it didn't shorten
*all* singleton uses. So pulling back on `::Is`, and instead just
dropping `Singleton`.
After #5280 there are a few more typed instructions that have an `InstId
type_inst_id` that always holds a type value. These are converted to
`TypeInstId` to encode this fact in the type system. The
`ConvertAggregateElement()` function in convert.cpp is now able to
receive `TypeInstId` for a couple arguments as well.
Additionally, the `type_inst_id` field of `StructTypeField` is made into
a `TypeInstId`.
The `TupleType::elements_id` is renamed to `TupleType::type_elements_id`
to try record the fact that it's an InstBlock of type value
instructions. We don't introduce a TypeInstBlockId at this time, but it
might be nice to make blocks of TypeInstIds in the future.
To assist in working with a block of InstId that are type values, two
additional helpers are added to the TypeStore:
- GetBlockAsTypeInstIds which turns an `ArrayRef<InstId>` into a range
of `TypeInstId`
- GetBlockAsTypeIds which turns an `ArrayRef<InstId>` into a range of
`TypeId`
We use these helpers in places that iterate over the
`TupleType::type_elements_id`.
In preparation for shifting from `TypeId`s potentially representing
attached types to always representing unattached types, using
[terminology suggested on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/963846118964350976/1359286326779973712).
This change causes us to track slightly more type spelling information
through SemIR.
One change that has significant impact on the SemIR output is that we
now build a `struct_type` instruction in each class representing the
types of the fields, including the spelling used for those types. This
is now no longer always identical to the corresponding canonical
`struct_type` for the object representation, so it's built separately
and owned by the class.
Also remove `TypeBlock` support entirely, as its only use was
representing `TupleType`s, which now use an `InstBlock`.
I'd split out the decl-specific handlers so that import_ref.cpp could
also call them. However, with the current model for imports and
constants, we shouldn't use them there. As a consequence, merge them
back into individual files for greater consistency with other helper
functions (and better visibility when making related code changes).
This addresses the const reliance of ResolvePrevInstForMerge by checking
the imported instruction, testing with `alias` name conflicts. Given the
need to examine structure, the helper function feels like it now gets in
the way, so I'm just removing it.

This doesn't actually track whether a declaration is `extern`. It does,
however:
- Factor out and expand merge support for classes, sharing handling with
functions.
- This makes the ClassRedefinition diagnostic redundant, as the
redeclaration checking overlaps.
- Add partial `extern` handling to class handling; just some
verifications of correct use.
- Factor out `extern` on member handling for sharing with `fn`.
- Fixes a bug in import_ref where a class's definition_id wasn't
assigned when defining.
This changes how a redefinition is handled (replaced, rather than
merged). I don't know whether that's ideal, but I think it results in
easy-to-understand consequences, and it's more consistent with how `fn`
works.
There's enough work here that this felt like a decent cut point,
particularly as the amount of work to actually add `extern` tracking
will be significant.
