Remove the type canonicalization mechanism and instead rely on constant
canonicalization to deduplicate types.
Rename the `Canonicalize*Type` functions to reflect that they're no
longer performing canonicalization. Switch code that creates types due
to semantic checking, rather than due to source syntax, to directly
create type constants through evaluation rather than creating an
instruction and evaluating it to produce a separate constant
representation.
The mapping from `const (const T)` that was previously performed by type
canonicalization is now implemented in expression evaluation instead.
The value `<error>` is now treated as a constant value, with a special
property that an instruction involving `<error>` that could possibly be
constant evaluates to `<error>`. This helps avoid producing follow-on
errors when an error occurs as a subexpression of an expression, such as
a type, that is intended to be constant.
Rather than producing multiple constants with the same value, fold all
instances of a given constant to the same constant instruction.
A future PR will use this to replace the current type canonicalization
system.
This is accomplished by tracking an extra bit on the ID we store in the
constant values table, and propagating that from subexpressions to the
enclosing expression. This extra bit is not yet computed correctly for
types; that will be addressed in later PRs.

Form a side table with constant values for each instruction. Evaluation
is only supported for a few very simple kinds of instruction for now.
This is not observable outside of the SemIR output, because nothing
depends on expressions having a constant value phase yet.
Namespaces are copied, which means also adding their name to the
underlying instruction. It happened not to be done previously; the name
was only in name lookup.
Since the only import supported right now is the default import,
functionality is limited; in the future I'll need to deal with namespace
vs package conflicts.
Tests of namespace imports are under "namespace" -- I figured this would
be best for scaling as more instructions get support.
This also improves some debugging-related output that I was trying to
use while trying to build the support.

Another incremental change to diagnostic formatting. I simply recurse
over all the tokens in the subtree of a parse node and construct a
`DiagnosticLocation` that covers all of the tokens.
I believe it's nicer for the user to be directed at the entire chunk of
source where the error is occurring rather then just pointing at the
bracketing/terminator tokens, but let me know if you all agree.
BinaryOperatorAdd had been added early on as a proof-of-concept for
toolchain design for parsing -> checking flow. However, it doesn't
reflect the interface direction for operators, and now other portions of
the toolchain demonstrate the relevant logic. Instead, it's just a bit
of an outlier versus other instructions which have evolved over time.
Most of the calls to `StringifyType` already passed `true` for
`in_type_context`. Checking the rest, I found that every one of them was
already sufficiently clear that they were printing a type, or could be
made so with a very small change to the diagnostic text.
This creates a namespace for `package` scope.
It looks like names of class_decls in namespaces lead to an unexpected
instref. This is already true, as best as I can tell. I'm not sure if
there's a preferred approach to address that, so I've left a TODO for
now.
This removes the filename from the file-scoped block, and places it
above to make it clear where the full SemIR begins (with multifile,
providing a barrier between).
This is an incremental improvement on our diagnostic messages that
simply underlines an entire token if the token is larger than 1 char
(else it points to the single char with a caret like it used to).
Instead of ad-hoc conversion tracking on some kinds of nodes that
conversion creates, consolidate tracking into a single node kind. This
frees up an operand on `Init` instructions that can be used to store the
destination.
Add a `NameId` that is effectively just a wrapper around a `StringId`,
with
some additional predefined values for names that don't correspond to
strings, such as the name of `self` or the function's return slot.
This replaces the use of `VarStorage` in this case.
Add an `UnboundFieldType` type as the type of a field, in cases where
it's referenced without an accompanying object.
Add a `BindName` node to describe the name binding performed for both
variables and fields so that we can handle them more uniformly.
Incomplete types may be nested within other types; for example, a tuple
type might have an incomplete type as an element. Handle such cases by
walking through nested incomplete types when completing a type. This is
done non-recursively in case a very complex type is formed.
Types are generally no longer completed at the point where they're
formed. Instead, we attempt to complete a type when it is used in a
context that requires a complete type, and diagnose if the type cannot
be completed at that point. This will be necessary for classes, which
can become complete after their first use, and helps tease out bugs
where a type completeness check is missing.
Using the computed value representation, fix lowering of struct and
tuple values to use the value representation rather than the object
representation. Fixes an issue found in the review of #3257.
This currently causes us to compute value representations of all types
as they are created, which generates substantially more SemIR to
represent types. We can get some of that back by deferring computation
of the value representation until the type is required to be complete,
but some of the additional cost here will persist with this approach.
I also considered making the computation of the value representation
type be something that lives entirely within the lowering phase, but I
think that's not the right approach in the longer term, because the
value representation will be semantically visible and relevant once we
start allowing it to be customized.
We should consider moving the nodes that exist to compute canonical
non-local types, including value representations, out into a separate
global block. That will clean up the SemIR representation substantially,
and make the SemIR produced for a function not depend on which types we
happen to have encountered beforehand. But that's not being done in this
PR.

Track the callee expression in full, instead of only tracking the
callee's FunctionId. This results in the `name_reference` denoting the
function actually being used.
Lowering now propagates a `llvm::Function*` as the value associated with
expressions of type `<function>`.
We were not creating `NameReference` node for names produced by member
access into a namespace, such as the second name in
`Namespace.Function`, which caused lowering of calls to such names to
fail. This is now fixed, but the resulting `NameReference` node only
refers to the name and the lookup result, not to the `Namespace.`
qualifier. We'll need to decide how to fit a third operand into that
node (perhaps we can stop storing the `name_id`, since it can be derived
from the lookup result) but for now the qualifier is not tracked.
Don't produce an error diagnostic if any of the information leading to
identifying that error is itself known to be affected by an
already-diagnosed error.
Bug found by fuzzing. Problem was untyped SemIR nodes had an invalid
type id, which was retrieved by `HandlePrefixOperator` and then passed
to `context.GetUnqualifiedType`, ultimately performing an invalid access
in `semantics_ir_->GetNode`.
We prefer to make a placeholder type for functions and namespaces to
remove the need for checking for the untyped case everywhere. Eventually
functions will have their own types, but this approach will be needed
for namespaces (and perhaps other non-first-class entities like unbound
methods and interface members) long term.

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.
Combine the initialization, implicit conversion, and value category
conversion functions into a single function.
This substantially reduces the duplication between these steps, and
ensures that we support the same set of conversions in all these
contexts. This also fixes some issues where we would not use the proper
value representation for tuples and structs after performing implicit
conversions.
This makes the difference between errors and lower-level diagnostics
visible to users, and aligns the toolchain's behavior with the
expectations in `driver_fuzzer.cpp`.
The speculative insertion of StubReferences after elements in an
argument list turned out to not be necessary, because we decided we want
to insert per-argument initialization steps after all arguments are
evaluated, rather than interleaving them. The StubReferences we insert
are causing some minor code complexity, so remove them.
We still create StubReferences when performing patch-ups of
already-emitted code, but we no longer ever need to look through them
when determining whether an initializer was a literal or when evaluating
a type expression.
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.
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).
