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.
The parse nodes are still tracked as part of the same value store
interface in order to ensure parity, but they're split out from Inst
itself in order to reduce the size of Inst -- the expectation is that
they don't need to be passed around quite as much.
This change doesn't actually reduce the passing very much, although
there are hints of it: AddInstAndPush doesn't typically need a separate
parse node from the one on the Inst itself, for example. In a couple
spots I changed code to rely a little more on the InstId until the
ParseNode is needed, but it's very low hanging fruit where done. I think
convert could do more to not eagerly fetch the parse node before its
use, but more cleanup felt it would be easier to handle separately. I'm
currently viewing this as making such cleanup _possible_ rather than
executing on it up-front.
But also, I want to make sure there's a consensus to head in this
direction before pulling the trigger. We speculated that this would
result in the parse node being passed around less, and I do think that's
the case, although it's a bit fuzzy in the change.

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.

This change adds a `BindSymbolicName` instruction for generic bindings,
paralleling the existing `BindName`. A mechanism is also added to allow
both kinds of binding to be accessed uniformly, for convenience in the
case where the two different kinds of binding are treated the same.
Generic bindings of type `type` are allowed to be used as types,
although no operations are provided for such types. For now lowering
treats these types as empty structs, which seems like a reasonable
lowering for non-monomorphized unconstrained types.
This is a step towards adding enclosing scopes for imports. It creates
an indirection for all bind names.
We discussed specializing for bindings that are in function scope (i.e.,
not a useful enclosing scope for imports or diagnostics). However, the
thought is to go ahead with this singular approach for now, and only
change structure if it's a performance issues so that we have
incrementally fewer instructions to handle.
This adds a block for exported InstIds, rather than scanning the package
scope. This working down a path discussed last month, which we'll need
to add enclosing namespaces to the Inst in order to complete import of
something like `namespace NS; var NS.a;`
Exports could've been a separate `vector<InstId>` on `SemIR::File`, but
using an entry in `inst_blocks` felt more consistent.
The goal here is to make the representation more uniform so that we can
start adding different kinds of binding -- checked generic bindings and
template bindings -- across both function parameters and local `let`
declarations.
With this change, the entry in the parameter list for the function is
the name binding, not the Param itself, which has some ripple effects on
consumers of that list that want to access the parameter rather than the
binding. This is expected to change again when we start adding more of
the pattern matching SemIR, but this seems good enough for now.
Adds a `LazyImportRef` instruction. Versus `CrossRef`, this is intended
to represent an instruction which cannot be used directly, and must be
replaced when it comes up due to name lookup. The intent is to use this
to avoid recursive loading of imported IR instructions.
Note, under this model, when `ResolveIfLazyImportRef` is called, it
essentially needs to load both inst and type information to a sufficient
point where any further attempts would hit name lookup again. That will
probably be complex, and the current implementation is just touching the
surface of the issue. I was heading down this route because it would
mean we have a limited number of points that need to consider whether
they're going to talk about a `LazyImportRef`.
I'm considering whether `CrossRef` should be dropped in favor of more
specific `Builtin` special-casing, due to the divergence of desired
behaviors. This could mean dropping the `builtins` IR since it's not
looking useful right now.
Modify `NameScope` to track whether the scope is associated with a load
error. This is to handle cases where one or more imports failed, so we
do not want to issue warnings for related scopes.
The 0-size on `ValueStore` comes up due to the changes to `NameScope`,
which make it too large for the default handling. After discussion with
zygoloid, the thought was we might want to try reserving a roughly
correct value based on parse node counts, but the stack default wasn't
buying much.
Fixes a bug where the implicit import used the package name instead of
the invalid identifier.
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.
I was suggesting this because `FloatingPoint` is pretty long. `int` and
`float` should be familiar abbreviations. `unsigned` should be familiar
to developers too, but `UnsignedInt` still feels usefully clearer for
the additional chars.
This adds instructions so that we get printing. I may adjust the
instruction format a little further to add a type, but I think the basic
setup will remain.
Note this builds on #3414
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.
Following up on discussion yesterday regarding this split.
Note, I'm expecting #3341 to do IdentifierId -> NameId in SemIR. It
might be worth adding NameId creation directly to StringStore if you're
content with this setup though.
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.
Adds a `BoundMethod` SemIR node to represent an `x.F` bound method, with
a new builtin type `BoundMethodType`. Reorganized conversion of call
expression arguments to also check and convert a `self` parameter in the
implicit parameters list.
In passing, improved diagnostics and error recovery for bad call
expressions. We now build a `call` node with the appropriate type and
value category, but with invalid arguments, if the argument conversion
failed, and diagnose calls to non-callable expressions.
`addr self` methods don't work properly yet; the `addr` is ignored for
now.

Provides an adapter for the llvm::yaml API because it otherwise needs a
bunch of const/non-const definitions, and the traits are difficult to
diagnose issues with. The current approach is pretty simple to use, even
if it's not super efficient (which, yaml output is more of a debugging
thing so I'm not really expecting it to be an issue).
Changes the format of yaml output to provide more index information,
just as reminders when seeing something like `node+0`. Note this would
create more churn in deltas if we were reliant on the output yaml in
tests, but we aren't so it should be okay.
Add support for member access into classes, for both non-instance
members and for fields.

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.
This standardizes on having ValueStore and related structures provide
printing, removing the handlers in file.cpp.
The `[]` is provided for empty sequences versus if there was simply
nothing, in which case it would be a sequence when non-empty, and a null
value when empty. Consistently (and explicitly) providing sequences
feels easier to understand.
The changes to the output yaml are overall more terse. My hope is that
this is an improvement for most readers.
Also fixes printing of APInt, defaulting to unsigned for consistency
with Carbon's use.
Finishing what #3316 started, add more bespoke ValueStore-like
structures to File. With this, the things which previously had somewhat
boilerplate Add/Get functions are now all on side classes, giving a
uniform style of API for calling.
Note, I was on the fence about making things public on ValueStore. If
it's preferred that I make some things there protected I certainly can,
there's just a trade-off that may mean more distinct child/wrapper
types.
Retain the `ClassDeclaration` node to represent a syntactic declaration
of a class (including possibly a declaration of a generic class), but
use a separate SemIR node to represent the class type itself. This
allows us to give the two separate treatment.
The `ClassDeclaration` is still entered into the name lookup table for
its enclosing scope, but when it is named in an expression, the class
type is produced instead. When the class declaration is named in a
declaration name, it can be used to define members of the class, but an
expression that resolves to the class type cannot be used to define
members of the class.
In order to distinguish these cases, use `Name` rather than
`NameExpression` for the left-hand side of a `QualifiedName` parse node.
This removes the only use of the `Expression` form of a declaration
name, so that is also removed.
In the future, `ClassType` will also be used to describe types such as
`Vector(T)`, for which there is no corresponding `ClassDeclaration`.
Building on #3313, start using ValueStore on File. Functions and classes
are straightforward. Types here I present as a borderline case where
maybe we want a more bespoke API, but maybe this is okay? Most other
things probably need a slightly different API, which although I might do
that for a consistent interface, felt more out-of-scope for this change.
Split `node.h` into separate files for ID types (`id.h`) and for typed
nodes (`typed_nodes.h`). The per-node-kind data is now specified as part
of declaring the typed nodes, and is removed from the node kinds
x-macros, which now simply enumerate the node kinds.
Building on #3311, change SemIR to use the SharedValueStore. Since this
removes hermeticity, raw output no longer prints ints, reals, and
strings. TokenizedBuffer accessors are modified to return IDs because
values are often passed through in semantics without needing to read
them.
I would've put SharedValueStores on Context, except for the
GetArrayBoundValue convenience method. I felt awkward removing that, so
it's on File, at least for now. That's then used by the formatter and
Lower too. The flipside of this is that TokenizedBuffer has a
SharedValueStores only for printing, so maybe that's similar enough to
what File is doing.
This doesn't start shifting other SemIR members to ValueStore, but that
seems like a next step.
This includes being able to define a class that was previously
forward-declared, and being able to define a member function out-of-line
that was previously declared inside a class.
No support for fields or methods yet, and a class definition doesn't yet
cause the class to be treated as a complete type.

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.
