The key changes are:
- Function output parameters are now prefixed with `out`, and more
consistently formatted as named parameters.
- Function and inst output arguments are now written as part of the inst
form, rather than as one of the inst arguments.
As a drive-by fix, this also changes `Temporary::storage_id` from
`DestInstId` to `InstId`, because it doesn't represent an output
parameter of the `Temporary` inst itself.
See the review of
[#6532](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/6532) and
[this Discord
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/999638000126394370/1458268977020141589)
for additional background.
* When a C++ static data member is imported, evaluate its address to a
constant like we would for a namespace-scope variable.
* When an imported variable is used in a way that doesn't require its
type to be complete, emit the variable with an opaque type instead
of skipping it (and potentially crashing later).
Remove the unnecessary two-phase creation of variables in C++ import. We
don't need to create a placeholder and overwrite it here, so stop doing
so.
Also, add the patterns to the imports table and don't create a
NameBindingDecl. The NameBindingDecl would never be used for anything.
This matches what we do when importing a Carbon variable, and improves
the formatted SemIR output.
Allow passing a C++ template as a template template argument to another
C++ template. Does not allow passing a Carbon generic as an argument.
Depends on #6474.
Instead of naming the root namespace `package` (because it's accessed by
the `package` keyword), change it to use the current package name. Note,
buried in the checksum changes,
`toolchain/check/testdata/package_expr/fail_not_found.carbon`:
```
- // CHECK:STDERR: fail_not_found.carbon:[[@LINE+4]]:16: error: member name `x` not found in `package` [MemberNameNotFoundInInstScope]
+ // CHECK:STDERR: fail_not_found.carbon:[[@LINE+4]]:16: error: member name `x` not found in `Main` [MemberNameNotFoundInInstScope]
```
for:
```
// CHECK:STDERR: var y: i32 = package.x;
// CHECK:STDERR: ^~~~~~~~~
```
I'll leave it to you if you prefer this; the alternative I see is to
just rename `IsCorePackage` to `IsImportedCorePackage`, and/or change it
to a helper that takes a `Context` and does the right thing with
`parse_tree` (which, I need for `Destroy`-related reasons and was my
default approach).
Expose C++ class templates, variable templates, alias templates, and
concepts as callable values in Carbon, and map calls to them into
template-id formation, mirroring how Carbon generics behave. For now,
only type template parameters are supported; non-type and template
template parameters produce a TODO error.
