#2569 added PrintAsID to //common/ostream.h, but given it's
explorer-specific behavior, I don't think it's the right home for it.
Noticed this while pondering better ostream interfaces.
Prevent copies when initializing value expression from reference
expression. This is based on
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/2006, which
introduces expression categories, and how it is possible to convert
to/from those different categories. Continuation of
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/2907
## Functional changes
* Initializing a value expression from a reference expression takes its
value without a copy
* Reading from the value expression causes an error if the value changed
from the time it was initialized
* In this situation, prevents a copy both for variable definitions, and
call parameter bindings
## Main implementation changes
* Add new `ExpressionCategoryAction`, which evaluates an expression and
returns an `ExpressionValue` containing its category and address (if
any), in addition to the resulting `Value*`
* `ExpressionAction`s now invokes `ExpressionCategoryAction` and unwraps
the returned `ExpressionValue`
* `RuntimeScope::BindAndPin` method, and corresponding when attempting
to read a `value_node`.
## Next work
* Avoid unnecessary copies from value expression to value expression,
after ensuring that even value expression temporaries are registered for
destruction (https://github.com/Pixep/carbon-lang/pull/9)
Add partial support for initializing expressions for variable declaration. This is based on https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/2006, which introduces expression categories, and how it is possible to convert to/from those different categories.
## Functional changes
* Initializing expressions initialize directly the provided storage when used to initialize a variable.
* Allows initializing expressions to avoid a copy when using `[var|let] name: type = call_expression(...)` by initializing `name` in-place.
* Support `returned var: ...` and `return <expr>`
* Support nested initializing expressions
## Main implementation changes
* Updated PatternMatch logic to handle expression categories
* Updated `VariableDefinition` interpreter statement to allocate and pass a location to initializing expressions
* Update statement actions to allow passing an allocation, used by return expr or returned var
* Modified the RuntimeScope API to be one step closer to the memory model we want to have
* Remove `GetAllocationId` and older `Bind` which don't apply
* New set of tests to highlight those different situations
* Added a new intrinsic to print the allocation stack (and make sure we behave correctly, beyond visible side effects)
## Next work
* Dedicated `Action` to retrieve expression category information in the interpreter (https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/2927)
* Avoid copies when initializing value expression from reference expression and prevent mutations for the duration of the "pinning" (https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/2927)
* Avoid unnecessary copies from value expression to value expression, after ensuring that even value expression temporaries are registered for destruction.
* Avoid unnecessary copies when binding function arguments
There was a warning "Unchecked access to optional value" in this piece of code inside `action.cpp`
```cpp
if (this->scope().has_value()) {
out << " " << *this->scope();a
}
```
Fixed it by accessing `scope_` directly rather than using `this->scope()`.
Rename value categories to expression categories based on [Discord discussion](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/753021843459538996/1092924035517665332) regarding naming and behavior.
>* let expression -> value expression
>* var expression -> reference expression
>* located expression -> initializing expression
>So:
>- "value expressions" produce values (with no associated location). "reference expressions" produce a location of an existing value. "initializing expressions" take a location and initialize it.
>- A let binding is initialized by a value expression, because lets represent values (with category conversions performed as needed, but if a conversion is performed from a different category of expression, the value of the object is pinned for the lifetime of the let).
>- A var binding is initialized by an initializing expression, without performing a copy (with category conversions performed as needed, calling a copy constructor if the initializer is a different expression category).
>- The & operator requires a reference expression, and it's an error to give it other kinds.
>- The left-hand side of . requires a value expression when calling a function with a non-addr receiver, and requires a reference expression when calling a function with an addr receiver (it's an error to give it a value expression, and for an initializing expression, a temporary is materialized).
Changes
* Rename "value category" to "expression category"
* Rename Var and Let value categories to Value, Reference, and Initializing expression
* Rename `lvalue` to `location` (most of the time)
Added an alternative way of Instantiating types (it was previously done using `InstantiateType` method).
Created an `Action` called `TypeInstantiationAction` and changed most of the code that directly invokes `InstantiateType` to instead spawn a new `TypeInstantiationAction`.
Relates to [#2594 ](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/issues/2594)
Move deallocation logic to `StepCleanUp` to have all necessary cleanup actions in the same place. Currently this means `DestroyAction` and `heap_.Deallocate`.
Patterns all compute their values when type-checked, so we never
actually need to do any multi-step evaluation to compute the value of a
pattern. Doing so was leading to quadratic runtime and excess noise in
the trace file.
This PR includes the following changes:
* Added destruction process for tuples
* Fix: In the current version only the last member of a object can be destroyed
* Fix: In the current version, the destructor of the object is called after each method call
I hope it is useful

Previously we used an expression in some places and a `Witness` values in others. The eventual goal is to make `Witness` values behave like other symbolic values such as `NominalClassType`, but the first step is to consistently treat them like values rather than expressions.
No functionality change intended.
This renames `Witness` to `ImplWitness` and adds a new form, `SymbolicWitness`, that holds an expression by which a witness can be computed. A common base class `Witness` is provided.
We form the new kind of witness when evaluation of a witness expression fails because the witness is not in scope, as happens when evaluating a subexpression such as a type expression in isolation, and retry evaluation in the larger context when the interpreter performs type instantiation when running the code.
This allows us to properly handle compile-time evaluation of constructs involving witness table lookups when the witness can be statically determined. The intent is that we will eventually also form symbolic witness table references when impl selection finds a non-final witness, in order to support specialization.
Simplify `NominalClassValue`: it can now always store a witness map rather than either a witness map or a witness-or-witness-expression map.
* added documentation for tracing output, changed the printing of scopes to be part of the stack, made other minor changes hoping to enhance readability
* reformat a list in the README
* minor edit
* fix the lists
* updates to the interpreter/README.md
I'm doing this to avoid macro name conflicts, following https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Preprocessor_Macros: "If you do export a macro from a header, it must have a globally unique name. To achieve this, it must be named with a prefix consisting of your project's namespace name (but upper case)."
Commands run:
```
sed -i 's/\(DCHECK\|CHECK\|FATAL\|MAKE_UNIQUE_NAME\|MAKE_UNIQUE_NAME_IMPL\|RAW_EXITING_STREAM\|RETURN_IF_ERROR\|RETURN_IF_ERROR_IMPL\|ASSIGN_OR_RETURN\|ASSIGN_OR_RETURN_IMPL\|DIAGNOSTIC_KIND\|RETURN_IF_STACK_LIMITED\)(/CARBON_\1(/g' $(git ls-files *.cpp *.h *.lpp *.ypp *.def ':!third_party')
sed -i 's/#undef DIAGNOSTIC_KIND/#undef CARBON_DIAGNOSTIC_KIND/' toolchain/diagnostics/diagnostic_registry.def
```
Note this isn't *quite* everything, but it's intended to be a large pass at everything:
```
╚╡git grep '#define ' *.cpp *.h *.lpp *.ypp *.def ':!third_party' | grep -v '#define CARBON' | grep -v _H_
explorer/syntax/lexer.lpp: #define YY_USER_ACTION \
explorer/syntax/lexer.lpp: #define SIMPLE_TOKEN(name) \
explorer/syntax/lexer.lpp: #define ARG_TOKEN(name, arg) \

migrate_cpp/cpp_refactoring/var_decl.cpp:#define ABSTRACT_TYPE(Class, Base)
migrate_cpp/cpp_refactoring/var_decl.cpp:#define TYPE(Class, Base) \
```
We may in particular want to do a pass to clean up #ifdef guards and make them be CARBON_ rooted.
