21291b4cc3 Remove InitForm::index (#6817)
This ensures that equal forms always have equal representations (because
the index depends on how the form is used, not on the value of the form
itself).

As a byproduct, also remove `NextCallParamIndex`.

Richard Smith bea24a8bee Never ask the mangler to mangle a C++ declaration. (#6764)
This cleans up some logic that was left behind when we stopped emitting
C++ function declarations ourselves. We would ask our mangler for a
mangling for a C++ function declaration and then not use it.

Geoff Romer f21e0e17ac Introduce ExprCategory::Dependent (#6744)
This is needed to model things like the category of `x` in the body of
`fn Foo(F:! Core.Form, x:? F)`, where the category of `x` is determined
by the concrete value of `F` (see #5389 for the design of `:?`
bindings).

This will be used in a follow-up PR.

Richard Smith 1b2ae912fc Add basic support for eval fn and musteval fn. (#6694)
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.

Geoff RomerandRichard Smith e5b05a1fac ExprCategory for guaranteed-in-place initializing expressions (#6623)
The primary change in this PR is to split the `Initializing` expression
category into separate `ReprInitializing` and `InPlaceInitializing`
categories, depending on whether initialization uses the types
initializing representation, or is guaranteed to be in place. It also
rationalizes and documents the SemIR-level semantics of those categories
(including where #5545's "ephemeral entire reference" category will
fit), and introduces two new inst kinds to close gaps exposed in the
process.

Some additional secondary changes:
- Consistently format the storage arguments of initializers with `to`,
regardless of whether initialization is in-place, and document the `to`
notation.
- Rename some inst kinds and functions, and restructure some of the
code, for clarity and consistency with the new documentation.
- Resolve a TODO to handle more category conversions in
`CategoryConverter`, in order to make it easier to reason about category
conversions.

See #6588 and the review history of this PR for background.

Richard Smith 093d5072db Add support for using C++ user-defined conversions via interop (#6646)
When performing an implicit conversion to or from a C++ class type, look
for a C++ implicit conversion, and if that conversion involves a
function call (to a constructor or conversion function), call that
function to perform the conversion.

Note that this is just a first pass at supporting implicit conversions.
There are a lot of other things that can happen in a C++ implicit
conversion, such as aggregate initialization or `std::initializer_list`
initialization that aren't handled here. In addition, we intentionally
leave all standard conversions to Carbon to perform, so that we will
reject conversions such as `i32 -> unsigned` that C++ would select but
Carbon considers to be invalid.

Also support `as` conversions. These are treated analogously, but
perform direct-initialization instead of copy-initialization, so they
also find `explicit` constructors and conversion functions.

In order to give good diagnostics, also track the original C++ source
location for imported C++ functions on the imported version of the
function.

David Blaikie 773b7136ef Use a single llvm::Module for C++ interop and Carbon IRGen (#6595)
Some module metadata changed - because rather than linking one module
with one module metadata value (eg: PIC Level 0, or unspecified) and one
module with a different one (PIC level 2, in clang) - we use Clang's
Module as-is, no merging required, so Clang's module metadata sticks
rather than being merged with default values from Carbon.

Also tweaked the name we use for Clang's module name so it matches the
carbon file name.

Otherwise the IR changes seem to be just reorderings - C++ interop goes
first, then Carbon, rather than the other way around.

David Blaikie f1f6005d4a Perform Clang IRGen during check (#6569)
Background:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wi85FRiWh4X9A-gCYMVGKR40-q5fM6-3JaSpePk-XCY/edit?usp=sharing
And specifically this work is essentially an alternative to #5543

Clang's code generation is implemented through an ASTListener
(clang::CodeGenerator) that is attached throughout Clang's
parsing/sema/code
generation phases and acts on Clang AST incrementally throughout that
process.

Prior to this patch, Carbon has only created the CodeGenerator during
Carbon's
`lower` phase, missing out on key callbacks that would be made by Clang
during
`check`. Some of these issues were addressed by #6237 and #6483 - but
there were
still remaining cases where the delayed processing lead to missing
functionality.

With #6483 much of the Clang code that made multithreaded complexity of
#5543 is
no longer present, and we have access to the point of ASTListener
registration
so we can register the CodeGenerator there and consume its resulting
llvm::Module during lower.

Examples of some of the bugs this addresses are seen in the linked doc,
and
checked in as tests in this change in
`clang_code_generator_callbacks.carbon`

An indicental bug that's also fixed, and caused all the other test case
churn,
is that the `CodeGenerator` created during `lower` wasn't getting passed
the
Clang `CodeGenOpts` and was creating its own default - so, most notably,
optimization flags were not respected. This meant that the LLVM IR from
Clang
was always -O0 style IR (optnone, no inlinehint, no TBAA, etc). With
this
change, now the Clang IRGen gets the real `CodeGenOpts` and respects
optimization/other flags specified there.

This is only meant to be a rough proof of concept - I'm totally open to
reworking this in any way (even quite substantially) if folks have ideas
about
how this should be implemented most generally/elegantly/etc.

Dana Jansens c64117d0e0 Make IdTag typesafe (#6574)
The IdTag knows the type of the Id its tagging and the type of the Id
being used as the tag. This prevents mixing up tagged and untagged ids,
and avoids having to work with untyped integers.

Adds an Untagged marker struct that's used as the tag type in IdTag when
no tag is desired.

The complexity of ConstantIds and TypeIds became a bit visible: TypeIds
are concrete ConstantIds. And ConstantIds have two different tagging
schemes, one for concrete and one for symbolic ids. And ConstantIds are
actually re-cast InstIds with the same index. The LoweredTypeStore needs
to work with tagged TypeIds, but the tags actually come from an InstId
store in ConstantValueStore. Now this is expressed in the type system by
getting the tags for TypeIds from the ConstantValueStore.

ValueStores without an TagId type parameter are now visibly untagged.

IdTag is now only default constructible when it does not have a tag,
which means ValueStore is only default constructible when the TagId is
untagged. This forces tagged value stores to be constructed correctly
with a tag at compile time, and untagged ones to be constructed without.

FixedSizeValueStore has overloads for dealing with tagged and untagged
Ids, since it can't default-construct ValueStore for tagged ids, and no
longer requires passing in default-constructed tags when there is no tag
in the ids.

Richard Smith 7bfeae0fd5 Give internal linkage to global init function. (#6591)
The mangled name of the global init function is the same for all files
in a package, so giving it external linkage results in link errors if
more than one file in a package has global initializers. We never need
to refer to it from outside the file, so give it internal linkage.

This also requires that we stop eagerly emitting a declaration of it --
if it's empty, we don't emit a definition, and LLVM doesn't allow us to
emit an undefined declaration of an internal linkage symbol.

Geoff Romer 505b1c86b9 Initial support for return forms (#6556)
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.

Also remove some unnecessary tracking of the `CppFile` and instead

David BlaikieandDana Jansens a179bd461b Start plumbing through debug info type information with function parameters/return value (#6410)
This adds just enough debug info for i32/int parameters and return
values, with a path forward for adding DWARF type metadata for other
types.

As it happens, return type information is carried separately from
parameter information:
* Return type information is carried in the `type` of the `DISubprogram`
  (as a `DISubroutineType` - which does carry parameter type information
  as well, but that's unused when the DWARF is emitted by LLVM)
* Parameter information is carried by `DILocalVariable`s with a non-zero
  `arg` value (representing the order of function parameters)

In the absence of locations for the parameters (future work), nothing
would usually keep the `DILocalVariable` live/reachable when emitting
DWARF - so for cases where this can happen (for clang, this happens in
optimized builds where all references to the parameter variable might be
optimized away) the variables can be "retained" in a list on the
`DISubprogram` - achieved by passing `AlwaysPreserve` parameter to
`createParameterVariable` (adds them to a list, then that list gets
attached to the `DISubprogram` when it's finalized later)

For now, any unsupported types are emitted as `void*` (except void
return, which is implemented as void) as a placeholder.

Given this example:
```
import Core library "io";
class MyClass {
}
fn Unsupported(v: MyClass) {
}
fn Ret() -> i32 {
  return 42;
}
fn Arg(x: i32) {
  Core.Print(x);
}
fn Run() {
}
```
this is the resulting DWARF:
```
DW_TAG_compile_unit
  DW_AT_name    ("test.carbon")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Unsupported")
    DW_TAG_formal_parameter
      DW_AT_type        (0x00000066 "void *")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Ret")
    DW_AT_type  (0x00000062 "int")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Arg")
    DW_TAG_formal_parameter
      DW_AT_type        (0x00000062 "int")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Run")
  DW_TAG_base_type
    DW_AT_name  ("int")
  DW_TAG_pointer_type
```
And the debugger:
```
(gdb) p Ret()
$1 = 42
(gdb) p Arg(4)
4
$2 = void
```

I'm not sure if there's a way this logic should be merged with the logic
for making the `llvm::Function` type (which the `DISubroutineType`
building code was inspired by/copied from) - since they're done at
different times/places, I don't think there's an easy way to do it in
one pass, but maybe the code can be shared (even if it's run twice) in
some generic `SemIR::Function` type walker.

Jon Ross-Perkins 93a8c5230c Ensure a symbolic final impl has a definition produced (#6236)
Right now, the impl lookup can both fail to resolve the specific
definition because it's symbolic, and return a "final" constant because
it's a `final impl`. This is adding an instruction to help ensure the
specific is resolved.

The constant evaluation is fully recursive, but I'm not adding a TODO
since that's a known issue with impl lookup in general.

Richard Smith 6c9a581a83 Switch GetExprCategory to be table-driven. (#6371)
Avoid using a large switch that needs to be manually extended when
adding a new kind of instruction. Instead, the expression category for
an instruction is now specified when defining the `InstKind`.

In passing, add a distinct expression category value for patterns. This
isn't used for much except some error checking at the moment, but it
keeps the number of instructions that we need to manually classify as
`NotExpr` despite having a type very low.

Following #6357, map C++ `void` to a prelude class type
`Core.CppCompat.VoidBase`, not to a builtin type. This is mostly just
moving logic around, but does notably change `Cpp.void` from being an
incomplete type to being a complete-but-abstract type.

Also change `NullptrT` to be an adapter for `void*` instead of `()*`, to
follow the approved design.

Implicit conversions to `void` and to `void*` are still absent.

aa69a484eb Add support for running LLVM optimizer. (#6225)
Adds a flag `--optimize=<mode>` that specifies what to optimize for:

* `--optimize=none` turns off the optimizer as much as possible, but
still respects always_inline.
* `--optimize=debug` aims to be the equivalent of `-Og` / `-O1`, and
provides optimizations that don't affect the ability to debug the
program. This is the default.
* `--optimize=size` optimizes for the size of the produced program, and
aims to be the equivalent of `-Oz`.
* `--optimize=speed` optimizes for the execution time of the produced
program, and aims to be the equivalent of `-O3`.

Following the approach taken by Clang, the optimization level feeds into
both the configuration of the LLVM pass pipeline and the attributes
added to function definitions generated by the frontend.

Optimization is performed in a new phase, `optimize`, which runs between
`lower` and `codegen`.

Jon Ross-PerkinsandDana Jansens 42e2280150 Clean up singleton TypeId use (#6300)
#6289 absentmindedly added fields in more places, and this is undoing
that plus further fixes.

This does some cleanup of types with relation to singletons. For
`TypeType` and `ErrorInst`, they're always complete due to a
`SetComplete` call in `file.cpp`. For `CppVoidType`, it's intended to be
incomplete by construction, and so a `TypeId` should be okay. The intent
though on not generally providing these had been that `GetSingletonType`
needs to be called to get a type to be marked as complete.

In the case of `AutoType`, removing `TypeId`does change a small printing
detail. I think that's old legacy that's just been carried forward.

Otherwise, for both `InstType` and `AutoType`, I've added
`GetSingletonType` calls where they were used in order to ensure
completeness is applied correctly. These calls cause small SemIR
permutations.

This causes `AutoType` to be seen by lowering, so I'm adding a
placeholder for it. Also merging two functions that look like they're
identical in intent -- not sure why they're separate.

Type check named constraint decls and definitions. We don't correctly

We have attempted to share code between `interface` and `constraint` as
they are quite similar. First by splitting out some of
handle_interface.cpp to a separate file. Second by sharing some code
paths when you want a facet type from either one, as they both turn into
a facet type.

David BlaikieandRichard Smith 12fa65e53c Check for use of InstIds from the wrong SemIR::File (#5997)
Use the `CheckIRId` as a unique identifier for the scope of an `InstId`
- if an `InstId` is created within the scope of one `CheckIRId` it must
not be used in the scope of a different `CheckIRId`.

This is achieved without extra storage, but with false negatives for
large inputs.

When an `InstId` is created, the original index of the `Inst` is XORed
with a tag derived from the `CheckIRId` to produce the final `InstId`.
When the `InstId` is used, the expected tag is XORed with the `InstId`
to get back to the original index - if the tags don't match, the
resulting index will be corrupted, likely too large - resulting in an
out of bounds index CHECK-failure.

(the tag value is derived as such:
* take the CheckIRId
* left shift one bit (padding zero)
* left shift another bit (padding 1 - used to signify that the resulting
`InstId` has a tag combined into it)
* reverse the bits

In this way, the tag is unlikely to overlap with the index for small
test cases - making it possible to separate out the `CheckIRId` from the
index in these cases to provide more meaningful debugging/CHECK
messages, and more informative `SemIR` textual dumping that can now
include the `CheckIRId` along with the `Inst`'s index in the name of an
`inst`)

The test churn here is improved printing as tagged `InstId`s can now,
with best effort (more likely for small test cases where the `CheckIRId`
and the `Inst` index aren't at risk of overlapping from the high and low
bits), render the `CheckIRId` as part of the inst's name. Going from
`instNN` to `irMM.instNN`.

The general strategy here is to force use of a thunk when we want to use
default arguments, and have Clang generate uses of the default arguments
on its side of the thunk.

To support this, change the key type used in `clang_decls` from being
just a `Decl*` to being a pair of `Decl*` and number of parameters in
the case of function decls. Import distinct `SemIR::Function`s for each
number of parameters that's used, and corresponding distinct thunks.

SemIR in such cases, use a worst-case initializing representation that
both provides a destination address and also propagates a potential
result value.

Use this to fix incorrect lowering and lowering crashes for specific
functions involving generic types that don't use a copy value
representation.

In lowering, be careful to distinguish between whether the initializing
representation for the generic return type uses a return slot (which
affects whether the SemIR declaration and call have one) and whether the
initializing representation for the specific return type uses a return
slot (which affects whether the LLVM IR declaration and call have one).

Ivana Ivanovska 12ddfb9c7c [Carbon/C++ interop] Add support for C++ overloaded functions (#5891)
As proposed in [Carbon: C++ interop for overloaded functions and
function
templates](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KUxumZtNe3mY3TsjW2s_ZADOlAaFlrtsLKHVILtqIaM/edit?tab=t.0),
Clang is used to perform the overload resolution using C++ rules, when
an overloaded C++ set is called from Carbon. Once a function is
selected, it's converted into a Carbon function and called using the
Carbon rules including argument conversions.

A single non-templated function is treated the same way as an overload
set and the same rules apply for its call.
Template functions are not supported yet.

Demo:

a) Non-templated function calls:

```c++
// --- overloads.h

auto foo(int a, short b) -> void;
auto foo(double a) -> void;
auto foo(int a) -> void;
```

```c++
// overloads.cpp

#include "overloads.h"
#include <cstdio>

auto foo(int a, short b) -> void {
  printf("hello from foo_int_short(%d, %d) \n", a, b);
}
auto foo(double a) -> void { printf("hello from foo_double(%f) \n", a); }
auto foo(int a) -> void { printf("hello from foo_int(%d) \n", a); }
```
```c++
library "Main";

import Cpp library "overloads.h";

fn Run() -> i32 {
  Cpp.foo(1.1 as f64);
  return 0;
}
```
```
$ clang -c overloads.cpp 
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon compile main.carbon
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon link overloads.o main.o --output=demo
$ ./demo
hello from foo_double(1.100000) 
```

b) Constructors:
```c++
// --- constructor_overloads.h
class C {
 public:
  C();
  C(int a, int b);
};
```

```c++
// constructor_overloads.cpp
#include "constructor_overloads.h"
#include <cstdio>

C::C() { printf("hello from C() \n"); }
C::C(int a, int b) { printf("hello from C(%d, %d) \n", a, b); }
```
```c++
library "Main";

import Cpp library "constructor_overloads.h";

fn Run() -> i32 {
  let c1: Cpp.C = Cpp.C.C();
  let c2: Cpp.C = Cpp.C.C(1, 2);
  return 0;
}
```

```
$ clang -c constructor_overloads.cpp 
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon compile main.carbon
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon link constructor_overloads.o main.o \--output=demo
$ ./demo
hello from C() 
hello from C(1, 2) 
```


Follow-ups:

- `Cpp.foo({})` - proper handling of struct literals as call args.
- Fix access for overloaded sets.
- Fix tests:
- Method calls: `error: missing object argument in method call
[MissingObjectInMethodCall]` in tests.
    - Fix `toolchain/check/testdata/interop/cpp/import.carbon` test.
    - Fix `enums` support.
    - Fix `str` -> `std::string_view` mapping.

Richard Smith 51cb078da4 Support lowering of functions with variable binding parameters. (#6012)
Fix a crash when attempting to lower a function with a variable binding
as a parameter. This is a narrowly-targeted fix, and not the right
longer-term approach; more complex patterns as function parameters will
still fail and likely crash.

Richard Smith cb5e2e1597 Improve support for qualification conversions. (#5999)
* Treat `MaybeUnformed` and `partial` as qualifiers, like `const`.
* Allow pointer conversions to add qualifiers.
* Allow unsafe pointer conversions to remove qualifiers.
* Allow conversions on non-reference expressions to drop `const`.
* Allow unsafe conversions on any expression to drop `const`.
* Allow unsafe conversions on non-initializing expressions to drop
  `partial`. For initializing expressions, we should initialize the
  vptr when dropping `partial`; this is not yet supported so we reject.
* Allow conversions on reference expressions to add `MaybeUnformed`.
* Allow unsafe conversions on reference expressions to drop
  `MaybeUnformed`. For non-reference expressions, additional work is
  required, because the value / initializing representation may not
  match between `T` and `MaybeUnformed(T)`, so those are rejected for
  now.

Richard Smith 0e6dd7e701 Add MaybeUnformed(T) type. (#5989)
This type has the same object representation as `T`, but always uses a
pointer type as its value representation. No other semantics are
provided for it yet.

Richard Smith b851e8c423 Add support for f16, f64, f128. (#5952)
Generalize the f64 support to support other sizes. Also provide interop
support for `float`, `_Float16`, and `__float128`.

Also lay some groundwork for non-standard floating-point types, though
we don't have any syntax to name them yet.
2025-08-14 01:14:40 +00:00
Richard Smith 28103b8f2e Convert LegacyFloatType into FloatLiteralType. (#5939)
* Rename the type.
* Change lowering to lower FloatLiteralType values as the placeholder
  `{}` value we use for literals instead of as an LLVM f64.
* Change eval to convert the type as part of a floating point
  conversion, so that lowering can lower converted constants properly.

For now we still represent a value of FloatLiteralType as a
double-precision APFloat. (That will need to change so that we can
losslessly convert literals to f80 / f128 values, and so that we can
convert literals to f32 values without double-rounding.)

37d5046ceb Support parse/check/lower for char (#5901)
toolchain/check/testdata/builtins/char/basics.carbon and
toolchain/lower/testdata/builtins/char.carbon are probably the most
interesting tests here. The parse tests is required because this adds a
new node kind, and we need coverage of it; but the attached info is
minor. There's a fair amount of test churn here because I'm adding the
Core.Char and Core.CharLiteral types as new singletons.

My intent here is that `CharId` is always a unicode code point, even
when the type is a `Char` and thus must be a single UTF-8 code unit
(single byte). This mainly means the stored value of a `CharValue` can
be printed internally without knowing the type.

Boaz Brickner 1d314c7c4d Import C++ constructors of class Type fn Type(...) -> Type (#5879)
Only supports classes with a single (non copy non move) constructor
(without default values), until overloading is supported.

Based on #5878.

C++ Interop Demo:

```c++
// hello_world.h

#include <cstdio>

class C {
 public:
  C(int x, int y) : x_(x), y_(y) {}

  int x() const { return x_;}
  int y() const { return y_;}

 private:
  int x_;
  int y_;
};

void hello_world(C* _Nonnull c);
```

```c++
// hello_world.cpp

#include "hello_world.h"

#include <cstdio>

void hello_world(C* _Nonnull c) {
  printf("C.x = %d. C.y = %d\n", c->x(), c->y());
}
```

```carbon
// main.carbon

library "Main";

import Cpp library "hello_world.h";

fn Run() -> i32 {
  var c : Cpp.C = Cpp.C.C(1, 2);
  Cpp.hello_world(&c);
  return 0;
}
```

```shell
$ clang -c hello_world.cpp
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon compile main.carbon
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon link hello_world.o main.o --output=demo
$ ./demo
C.x = 1. C.y = 2
```

David BlaikieandDana Jansens 26ec78ec00 Ensure vtable entries for generics are attached constants (#5853)
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.

Richard Smith 36f0a73092 Initial support for interop with class/struct/union fields. (#5849)
Add a new type, `custom_layout_type`, representing a struct type whose
size, alignment, and field offsets can be manually controlled. Use this
as the object representation type for imported C++ class types (which
also includes struct and union types), allowing us to model C++ class
type layouts. In passing, also add support for incomplete C++ class
types, mapping them into incomplete Carbon class types.

Map C++ fields into Carbon field declarations, allowing direct access to
C++ fields from Carbon. So far, no support is added for base classes nor
anonymous struct or union declarations; those will be added in
subsequent PRs. Also, we don't map C++ access control into Carbon yet,
so all C++ fields are accessible regardless of their access control.

For now we still use a `struct_type` as the object representation for
empty C++ classes, in order to continue to support our existing tests
that convert `{}` to empty C++ class types. This is temporary and should
be removed once we support interop with C++ class initialization.

Jon Ross-Perkins bd4fbb4393 Expand use of CheckIRId stores (#5820)
This is trying to make it clearer when vectors are being indexed with
`CheckIRId`.

The only one that I still kind of want to change is the
`SmallVector<std::unique_ptr<CompilationUnit>>`, but because it's a
`unique_ptr` that's a little more complex. I may not bother.

Note, some of the changes around nuanced `SmallVector` interactions were
based on trying to copy the way `SmallVector` itself takes arguments,
like with range passing.
