I couldn't figure out a way to actually hit a reasonable out-of-memory case once I add the maximum interpreter step count. However, the step count limit seems more important.
I've moved the todo stack limit out of function calls because there are plenty of ways to build up the todo stack without any function calls.
Fixes#2791
Removes `__continuation`, `__await`, and `__run`.
In part here, the discussion was that while the feature had been useful for validating the early explorer design, it's no longer needed for that role as the explorer is now quite robust. Continuations have been experimental and, at this point, don't have an owner pushing to a proposal.
The triggering factor is that, as we push to address fuzzer issues, I ran into a crash bug in this code; basically, `fn Main() -> i32 { __await; return 0; }`. When I mentioned this, the reaction seemed to trend towards removal of the feature.
Rename value categories to expression categories based on [Discord discussion](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/753021843459538996/1092924035517665332) regarding naming and behavior.
>* let expression -> value expression
>* var expression -> reference expression
>* located expression -> initializing expression
>So:
>- "value expressions" produce values (with no associated location). "reference expressions" produce a location of an existing value. "initializing expressions" take a location and initialize it.
>- A let binding is initialized by a value expression, because lets represent values (with category conversions performed as needed, but if a conversion is performed from a different category of expression, the value of the object is pinned for the lifetime of the let).
>- A var binding is initialized by an initializing expression, without performing a copy (with category conversions performed as needed, calling a copy constructor if the initializer is a different expression category).
>- The & operator requires a reference expression, and it's an error to give it other kinds.
>- The left-hand side of . requires a value expression when calling a function with a non-addr receiver, and requires a reference expression when calling a function with an addr receiver (it's an error to give it a value expression, and for an initializing expression, a temporary is materialized).
Changes
* Rename "value category" to "expression category"
* Rename Var and Let value categories to Value, Reference, and Initializing expression
* Rename `lvalue` to `location` (most of the time)
These are used by the AST in lots of ways, and this resolves various layering issues.
This means that `AllocationId` also lives in ast/, but is managed by interpreter/. A better layering here would be desirable, but this seems good enough for the time being.
This does some more work to the run_clang_tidy.py wrapper script, and runs an example pass.
"again" because it's really the proto fuzzer changes that broke it, it had been working before.
"mostly" because there's still an issue within the proto fuzzer that it can't find "port/protobuf.h", i.e. https://github.com/google/libprotobuf-mutator/tree/master/port, but I'm still hesitant to add an include path there.
Previously we used an expression in some places and a `Witness` values in others. The eventual goal is to make `Witness` values behave like other symbolic values such as `NominalClassType`, but the first step is to consistently treat them like values rather than expressions.
No functionality change intended.
This renames `Witness` to `ImplWitness` and adds a new form, `SymbolicWitness`, that holds an expression by which a witness can be computed. A common base class `Witness` is provided.
We form the new kind of witness when evaluation of a witness expression fails because the witness is not in scope, as happens when evaluating a subexpression such as a type expression in isolation, and retry evaluation in the larger context when the interpreter performs type instantiation when running the code.
This allows us to properly handle compile-time evaluation of constructs involving witness table lookups when the witness can be statically determined. The intent is that we will eventually also form symbolic witness table references when impl selection finds a non-final witness, in order to support specialization.
Simplify `NominalClassValue`: it can now always store a witness map rather than either a witness map or a witness-or-witness-expression map.
