These functions are dangerous, as they check whether conversions are possible without actually performing the conversions. In each case where they were used, explorer would crash in some cases if a user-defined conversion is required.
This change moves us more towards implicit conversions being handled by a regular function call on an interface and away from them being magical builtins. Unfortunately, this exposes a pre-existing bug that a call of the form `x.(ImplicitAs(T).Convert)()` compiles even if `x` only has an explicit conversion to `T`. That's worked around here for now, but will need a proper fix later.
Detect when evaluating an impl recursively tries to evaluate the same impl for the same or a more complex set of parameters.
In order to perform the check after we have tested that the type structure matches and before we check that constraints are recursively satisfied, argument deduction is extended to check structural matching properties earlier.
This requires us to separate match failures into two kinds: hard failures that produce errors that should never be swallowed, and soft failures such as a missing impl that lead us to merely discard an impl as a candidate. A flag has been added to `ImplScope` and `ArgumentDeduction` to specify whether soft failures should produce an error message or not.
Also make minor updates to the skeletal design in
docs/design/name_lookup.md following #2113, as there are no longer any prelude names that are made available to unqualified name lookup by default.
Add `type` to the keyword list in
docs/design/lexical_conventions/words.md, following #2360.
In particular, this means that a type can implement `ImplicitAs(Type)` and have values of that type behave like types.
This implies that `()` and `{}` are no longer types. They are now values whose type is the result of converting `()` or `{}` to type `Type`, as has been discussed recently and seems to be the supported direction. This fixes various cases where these types were previously mishandled.
We don't seem to have any need for `TypeOf*Type` types, and having them introduces the temptation to use them during type-checking, which would lead to types having different behavior when their type-of-type is `Type` versus when it's a more precise type. Remove these types for now.
If we later decide that we want each type literal to have a unique type, as we do for value literals, we can introduce a single value kind for that rather than one for each kind of type.
No changes to `TypeOfMemberName`, `TypeOfParameterizedEntityName`, and `TypeOfMixinPseudoType`, which are placeholders, not real types.
Adds a simple script to merge stdout/stderr and put on labels. This is hidden to the RUN line using lit.cfg.py.
This is my solution to addressing how errors printed by the toolchain break sorting of stdout output; just put stdout first. We could also have toggles for interleaving output or such, which might help test whether we do it properly.
This also moves some previous-distributed replacement logic into lit_autoupdate_base.py: I think having that adjacent to lit.cfg.py is probably the better choice, and it reduces duplication in toolchain scripts. It happens here because I need to change the resulting commands to include the merge.
This change left a test broken and removed a fair amount of test coverage for unrelated features, and after further discussion it's not clear that this is the direction we want to go in.
This reverts commit 6cf2272bbe.
Implements basic support for rewrite constraints as proposed in #2173.
Support for associated constants and complex constraints in general is also made more robust: argument deduction now properly computes and substitutes witnesses, and interface declarations track a more correct description of the constraint that they introduce than the one we previously built.
Change explorer's handling of witnesses to track them wherever possible. Associated constant support needs witnesses to be available much more pervasively.
The main changes here are:
- `Substitute` now takes a set of bindings covering both `Value`s for `GenericBinding`s and `Witness`es for `ImplBinding`s, and substitutes both.
- Witnesses are now tracked within `ConstraintType`s. The `.Self` type has an `ImplBinding` that self-references from parts of the constraint to other parts of the constraint can use to access the witness for the constraint.
- The constraint type for an `impl` and for a `GenericBinding` are now stored in pre-substituted form, with references to the actual constrained type rather than symbolic references to `.Self`. This results in minor changes in diagnostic text.
Argument deduction still performs substitutions without remapping witnesses.
On #2224 @zygoloid pointed out we needed --implicit-check-not to ensure we were correctly matching output. This is the standard way we're writing explorer tests, so I was looking at unifying our lit approaches.
This is one take on it, making more use of substitutions to bring various testing into alignment, as well as symlinks to avoid config skew (maybe I'll eventually figure out a better solution than symlinks).
Makes a couple small fixes in explorer to remove end-of-line whitespace on output.
The most significant change here is that explorer now uses the chosen spelling
rather than the old `Bool` spelling. Also update a few documentation examples
and some skeletal design docs to use the chosen spelling.
Basic support for declaring, specifying the values of, and using associated constants.
This is incomplete in various ways. For example, when checking whether a type satisfies a constraint, there is no check that its associated constants match those in the constraint, and name lookup into a value whose type is an associated constant is not supported yet.

This causes compile-time evaluation to give the same result as runtime
evaluation wherever possible. In particular, referencing a generic
parameter at compile time will resolve to the actual value if we're
evaluating a call to the enclosing function so a value for the
parameter is available in the call frame.
Clean up recently-added support for `SymbolicWitness`es using this.
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.
Add scaffolding for constraints in general, and support specifically constraints formed by applying a `&` operator.
No support for constraints formed with `where` nor for named constraints at this point.
In order for this to work, we need to always use the argument deduction code path for function calls, instead of only using it when there is a `[...]` list, which means that argument deduction now needs to support implicit conversion.

- Makes `Self` a keyword
- Inside `class Foo { `... `}`, `Self` means `Foo`
- Inside `class Foo(T:! Type, U:! Type) {` ...` }`, `Self` means `Foo(T, U)`
- `impl as Bar` means `impl Self as Bar`
- Inside `external impl Foo as Bar {`...`}`, not in a scope already defining `Self`, `Self` means `Foo`
Implemented by introducing a new kind of declaration, a `SelfDeclaration`, that is automatically added to class and impl declarations.

Previously we modeled these as being class types or interface types, with special case checks to treat them as not actually being class or interface types.
Use FileCheck's `[[@LINE+n]]` mechanism to refer to the next line.
This is made awkward by a couple of things:
* We want to keep the `CHECK` lines in the original order.
* Errors are sometimes more than one line long.
The approach we use is to interleave the original lines and the check lines, putting each check line as early as possible subject to two rules:
1) Check lines never precede the 'AUTOUPDATE' line
2) Except when required by rule (1), a check line that refers to a source line by line number is never placed earlier than a source line that precedes that source line.
The actual `[[@LINE+n]]` annotations are created in a second pass after we've interleaved the lines so that we can work out the correct offsets.
