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.
If the initializing representation is the same as the value
representation, don't materialize a temporary and perform a value
binding. Instead, directly extract the value, using a new
`value_of_initializer` node.
This removes a lot of redundant `alloca`s from our generated LLVM IR.
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.
