This handles the basics of type and value for structs. Structurally, these look like parameters and arguments (respectively) because expressions/generics may result in multiple IR nodes being generated.
Because `{}` needs to be cast to a type for storage, I'm also adding some validation that's not specific to `{}`, e.g. that `1` shouldn't be valid as a type for storage (previously, nothing errored for that).
This adds more stringification of types, particularly literals, because they come up in value errors now.
ImplicitAs is the result of me mulling whether I'm taking the right approach on type conversions. I think it needs to return a value so that if the implicit cast rewrites the value, the result is accessible to the caller. I may reorient the current TryTypeConversion logic to be more based on the ImplicitAs logic.
These changes should make output more stable when builtins are added to semantics. By omitting them from nodes and printing nodes as "relative to the last builtin", I should be able to add and remove builtins without automatically affecting every test. Also by printing builtin nodes as `nodeNameOfBuiltin`, it's a little easier to understand what's going on (for me, at least).
This is starting to build out actual lowering logic, for a really simple `fn Main() -> i32 { return 0; }`
Notes for achieving this:
- In semantics, currently function names are bound separate from the signature. When emitting IR, this turns out to be inconvenient because we want to know the name when we process the declaration and the definition. This change addresses that by merging the name into the FunctionDeclaration node, which is also accessible from the definition. It removes the separate BindName. This should be the cause of all the test changes in semantics, because the IR generated changes.
- Add a "Lowering" class which I'm using to hold the llvm builder state. This class now has minimal support for the SemanticsIR generated by the above example.
- In the "Lowering", values from expressions are stored in a DenseMap. I'll keep thinking about whether there's a cleaner way to achieve this, and I'd call it a temporary solution for now. However, this is how the `0` in `return 0` gets properly associated across SemanticsIR instructions, and it'll frequently be an issue in less trivial cases.
This adds tracking of call information plus basic type checking. It adds a builtin for the empty tuple, mainly so that I have the basis for a default function return type.
As an aside, it also unifies printing within SemanticsIR, fixing a missing comma after callables.
