Richard Smith 8b59e85b16 Add support for inline Cpp declarations. (#6994)
For #6830, add support for inline C++ fragments as a declaration rather
than as a packaging directive. For now, this uses `inline Cpp
<string-literal>;` as syntax. The prior `import Cpp inline
<string-literal>;` is left alone for the time being. We can decide
separately whether to remove that.

`inline Cpp` requires that there was at least one `import Cpp`. It's not
clear to me if that's the right design long-term, but it seems
reasonable for now.

Richard SmithandGeoff Romer 899e54de36 Treat (pattern) as grouping parens. (#6976)
Do not treat it as a 1-tuple pattern as we used to. The design indicates
that `(pattern)` is invalid, but this appears to be an oversight, and
grouping parens appear to be the intended interpretation.

Richard Smith 99bde2acb3 Refactor match parse nodes. (#6870)
Use the same node kind for the body of `case` and `default` handlers. We
don't need to distinguish these in check, so don't create extra node
kinds for them.

In order to make the nodes properly delimited, make the label (`case
...` or `default`) nodes be children of the `=>` node rather than
siblings. This allows us to use the node kind of the `=>` as the
bracketing node for the complete handler, rather than having two
different bracketing node kinds, one for each kind of label.

declarations.

- Added states and node kinds.
- Added node categories.
- Added a diagnostic for invalid keywords/operators.

Geoff Romer 4a0cf6c1fb Track the start of a signature more accurately (#6760)
This change ensures that a function signature always starts with an
`IdentifierNameMaybeBeforeSignature` node (renamed from
`IdentifierNameBeforeParams`), even in the case of function declarations
like `fn F -> T` that have no parameter list. As a consequence, this
ensures that we push new entries onto `pattern_block_stack` and
`full_pattern_stack` when we start processing the function signature.

Richard Smith 1b2ae912fc Add basic support for eval fn and musteval fn. (#6694)
Add support for compile-time functions. `eval fn` is analogous to C++
`constexpr`, and is evaluated at compile time when it has compile-time
arguments. `musteval fn` is analogous to C++ `consteval`, and requires
that its arguments be available at compile time and is always evaluated
at compile time. For now we require the modifier to match across
redeclarations of the function. The specific modifier syntax here is a
placeholder and not yet part of an approved design.

Limitations: Only very basic support for evaluation is provided. So far
there's no support for mutable state or `if` expressions, but otherwise
control flow and passing and returning values should work. Carbon
evaluation recursion is modeled by C++ recursion for now, so you can
overflow the toolchain stack easily. Functions that use in-place
initialization will generally not work yet, as they are modeled as
passing a non-compile-time-constant reference to a temporary to the
call.

Add missing categorization of `name_binding_decl` as `NotExpr` to match
other similar declaration instructions like `FunctionDecl`, so that we
can uniformly skip over them when they occur within function bodies.

Geoff Romer 57a2715f10 Remove support for addr (#6375)
Every test that used `addr` before #6283 should be using `ref` after
this PR. In most cases that was done in #6283, but this PR transitions a
few that I missed in that first pass. In addition, #6283 cloned the old
`addr` tests from `foo.carbon` to `foo_addr.carbon` in order to maintain
test coverage during the transition; this PR removes those cloned tests.

Jon Ross-PerkinsandDana Jansens 8166f9a7cf Formalize Cpp as a PackageNameId (#6306)
This turns `Cpp` into a keyword, and makes it map to `NameId::Cpp` and
`PackageNameId::Cpp`.

Per discussion with zygoloid, the keyword versus identifier question is
deliberately kept open by #4846. This PR switches to a keyword because
mapping to a specific `PackageNameId` works best with a special `NameId`
not backed by an `IdentifierId`. We could in theory make it work using
`IdentifierId` or a runtime-tracked `PackageNameId` for `Cpp` (e.g.
stored on `SemIR::File`), but this approach is consistent with `Core`
and so seemed like a good starting point.

This proposal renames the syntax used to mark an overriding definition
of a virtual method from `impl fn` to `override fn` to avoid ambiguity:
besides indicating an overriding virtual function, it can be parsed as
an "impl" declaration when the construct following "impl" begins with a
lambda introduced by "fn".

Closes #5711

Dana JansensandJon Ross-Perkins 4b0e2b03b6 Add the .Self name for the type expression of a compile time binding (#5937)
We add a virtual node (`CompileTimeBindingPatternStart`) as the first
child of `CompileTimeBindingPattern` which holds the identifier
underneath it, so that it is checked just before the type expression of
the `CompileTimeBindingPattern`. When we reach this virtual node during
check, we add `.Self` as a name in the current scope, and when we reach
`CompileTimeBindingPattern` we remove it from scope, which ensures it's
present during only the checking of the type expression for the compile
time pattern.

At the moment the `.Self` has a different type (it's a `TypeType`) than
other `.Self` in the facet type (which are a single `FacetType`), but
the intention is to immediately substitute it out of the facet type
entirely, replacing it with a reference to the compile time binding (a
`BindSymbolicName`) itself. A TODO has been added for this.

37d5046ceb Support parse/check/lower for char (#5901)
toolchain/check/testdata/builtins/char/basics.carbon and
toolchain/lower/testdata/builtins/char.carbon are probably the most
interesting tests here. The parse tests is required because this adds a
new node kind, and we need coverage of it; but the attached info is
minor. There's a fair amount of test churn here because I'm adding the
Core.Char and Core.CharLiteral types as new singletons.

My intent here is that `CharId` is always a unicode code point, even
when the type is a `Char` and thus must be a single UTF-8 code unit
(single byte). This mainly means the stored value of a `CharValue` can
be printed internally without knowing the type.

Dana Jansensandzygoloid 24bde46181 Change array syntax from [T; N] to array(T, N) (#4981)
In line with the proposal in #4682, this changes the array syntax to be
array(T, N). `array` is a builtin keyword which must be followed by
parens containing two expressions and a separating comma.

The array type expression is still fully builtin, it does not forward to
a Core.Array library type yet. It merely adds the `ArrayType`
instruction, as was done with the previous syntax.

Followup work will change the instruction to reference to Core.Array,
once the library type exists and can be used directly.

Richard Smith 6dda094928 Superficial support for template modifier on symbolic bindings. (#4948)
Change parse tree from `template (T:! type)` to `(template T):! type`,
so that we have information about whether a binding is a template
binding available when forming the representation of the binding
pattern. This incidentally fixes a bug that we would accept `template
addr A:! B` instead of the intended `addr template A:! B`.

Track whether a symbolic binding is a template binding on the
`EntityName` object. I'm borrowing a bit from the `CompileTimeBindIndex`
for this in order to avoid making `EntityName`s larger. Longer-term, we
should think about using a different representation for symbolic
bindings, to avoid including these fields in all `EntityName`s, but
that's out of scope for this change.

So far, template bindings are treated as having the same phase as
checked bindings, but that will change in a future PR.

Split StructComma into StructLiteralComma and StructTypeLiteralComma in
order to easily differentiate handling (remains the same in this PR).

Add "Literal" to StructField and StructTypeField because it feels
inconsistent versus the other non-shared things. StructFieldDesignator
remains shared between value literals and type literals.

Note I probably would've made StructFieldDesignator non-shared too, but
that'd require either a lookahead of 2 (to see the separator`) or a
writeback after parsing the separator, neither of which felt especially
crucial for this, when what I'm really trying to do is split type
literal handling a little further.

Instead of tracking the token associated with a parse node in the `.def`
file macro, track it on the typed node instead. List the token as a
field inside the node structure to show the order of the token relative
to the other components of the grammar production, and to allow the
token index to be accessed when the node is extracted.

Remove the corresponding information from the `.def` file, leaving
behind just a list of parse node kinds in the majority of cases.

This also removes the checking of the token kind associated with a parse
node in the case where the parse node has errors. Previously we had a
flag on the node kind to indicate whether we should check this, but per
[discord

it's easy to do so now.

The overall goal here is to reduce `node_kind.def` down to a simple list
of names. I have a slightly different approach in mind for the token
kinds.
