Previously, we picked a single Carbon parameter pattern for each C++
parameter pattern. This doesn't work well in cases where the Carbon
semantics and the C++ semantics are not perfectly aligned. In
particular, when a parameter is passed by value in C++, that might mean
either pass-by-move (which in Carbon would best be modeled by a `var`
pattern, as no other form of parameter would perform a move) or
pass-by-copy (which in Carbon would best be modeled by a value
parameter, as a `var` parameter would force an extra copy).
After this change, we compute a passing mode for each parameter based on
the implicit conversion sequence from the argument to the parameter as
determined by C++ overload resolution, and use that to determine the
Carbon pattern corresponding to each C++ parameter. This results in
potentially generating multiple different thunks for the same C++
function if it's called in different ways, but we already did that to
handle default arguments and list-initialization. The passing modes are
included in the thunk mangling.
Add a new value store for clang decl signatures, which capture the
information about parameter passing mode as well as the other existing
information about different ways that a C++ function might be imported
to Carbon.
Most of the rules for computing passing modes are the same as before:
const references use pass by value, non-const lvalue references use
pass-by-ref, non-const rvalue references use pass-by-var. But for C++
non-reference parameters, pick between pass-by-value and pass-by-var
based on whether the implicit conversion sequence was effectively
performing a copy. Prefer pass-by-value if either would work and they'd
do the same thing. We still use pass-by-value for const references, even
when the argument is an lvalue and we could pass a reference; we may
want to change this in future.
For virtual functions, we try to pick a worst-case passing mode, as we
can only pick a single signature for what goes in the vtable. Calls to
virtual functions will still use a thunk to C++, allowing variance in
the calling convention at call sites. We don't allow variance in the
overriders as we don't implement support for thunks for virtual
functions yet. We currently use pass-by-value for const reference
parameters here, but that should probably change at some point.

When a namespace that was imported from C++ is indirectly imported, find
the corresponding namespace in the current C++ AST and return that
instead. This namespace may have completely different contents than the
one we found before; that's fine. The current file's view of a namespace
depends on what it imported.

When importing Carbon code that refers to a C++ class, look for a
corresponding C++ class in the current context and import that instead.
This is a workaround for not having proper cross-file C++ import
support. For now, we only support non-templated namespace-scope class
types.

Introduces `Context` and `SoftContext` messages, which can be introduced
through a `ContextBuilder`:
- The `Context` messages come before the diagnostic in the output.
- The first `Context` message steals the diagnostic level from the main
diagnostic, and turns the main diagnostic into a Note attached to the
context.
- A `SoftContext` message works similarly, but if it's preceeded by a
`Context` or `SoftContext` message, then it is dropped. This can be used
as a default/backup scope when nothing more interesting is provided up
the stack, such as in `TryEvalBlockForSpecific`.
The `ContextBuilder` is provided to a callback through
`Diagnostics::ContextScope`, an RAII type `AnnotationScope` but for
context messages.
This allows a high level operation to provide a context message like
"failed to identify facet type {0}" which will then be used as the error
if a diagnostic is produced during identification, with the latter
diagnostic attached as a note to explain why the contextual operation
failed.
In particular, this allows monomorphization errors (such as an array
bound being negative) to be attached to a higher lever operation instead
of being top-level diagnostics themselves, with the monomorphization
site being a note. This inverts the source code locations that appear in
the diagnostic, so that the top-level diagnostic points to the "user
code" which causes the monomorphization.
This is presented as an alternative strategy to #6753, which plumbed
diagnoser callbacks around to achieve the same goals.
We replace the diagnoser callbacks in type completion and operators with
ContextScope callbacks instead, which now provide better diagnostics for
monomorphization errors. Other callers to MakeSpecific do not yet have
ContextScopes introduced in order to turn monomorphization errors into
more interesting diagnostics.
Mainly because "sorting_diagnostic_consumer" is legacy, since
`SortingDiagnosticConsumer` became `SortingConsumer`. Also better
reflecting contents of these files.
Where I'm not renaming, I'm less positive about dropping "diagnostics"
from "file_diagnostics" and "null_diagnostics" (which contain both a
consumer and emitter, and "null.h" seems like poor naming), so not doing
that here. Also "diagnostic.h" contains `struct Diagnostic`, so is a
decent fit.

The general strategy here is to import the constructor with a signature
that directly matches the argument. The intent is that the imported
function will eventually be usable directly as the `ImplicitAs.Convert`
function in a generated `impl`.
For initialization from a tuple, for example `(1, 2)`, we import the
selected constructor with a signature that takes a tuple pattern:
`fn Class.Class((a: i32, b: i32)) -> Class;`
In order to support that, this PR also adds support in general for tuple
patterns in function signatures. It turns out the implementation was
already very close to allowing this.

When performing C++ overload resolution with an argument that is of
Carbon struct or tuple type, form a braced initializer list as the
placeholder argument. Note that this only affects overload resolution;
no new support for actually converting structs or tuples to C++ types is
added. In particular, while this does allow an empty class to be
initialized from `{}`, it does not allow a non-empty C++ class to be
initialized from a struct, as that is not yet supported in general.

Background:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wi85FRiWh4X9A-gCYMVGKR40-q5fM6-3JaSpePk-XCY/edit?usp=sharing
And specifically this work is essentially an alternative to #5543
Clang's code generation is implemented through an ASTListener
(clang::CodeGenerator) that is attached throughout Clang's
parsing/sema/code
generation phases and acts on Clang AST incrementally throughout that
process.
Prior to this patch, Carbon has only created the CodeGenerator during
Carbon's
`lower` phase, missing out on key callbacks that would be made by Clang
during
`check`. Some of these issues were addressed by #6237 and #6483 - but
there were
still remaining cases where the delayed processing lead to missing
functionality.
With #6483 much of the Clang code that made multithreaded complexity of
#5543 is
no longer present, and we have access to the point of ASTListener
registration
so we can register the CodeGenerator there and consume its resulting
llvm::Module during lower.
Examples of some of the bugs this addresses are seen in the linked doc,
and
checked in as tests in this change in
`clang_code_generator_callbacks.carbon`
An indicental bug that's also fixed, and caused all the other test case
churn,
is that the `CodeGenerator` created during `lower` wasn't getting passed
the
Clang `CodeGenOpts` and was creating its own default - so, most notably,
optimization flags were not respected. This meant that the LLVM IR from
Clang
was always -O0 style IR (optnone, no inlinehint, no TBAA, etc). With
this
change, now the Clang IRGen gets the real `CodeGenOpts` and respects
optimization/other flags specified there.
This is only meant to be a rough proof of concept - I'm totally open to
reworking this in any way (even quite substantially) if folks have ideas
about
how this should be implemented most generally/elegantly/etc.
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.
This intends to avoid proliferation of dependencies on the exact API of
`clang::ASTUnit`, and would enable us to more easily switch to a
different approach that gives us more control over the construction of
the Clang AST.
Also remove some unnecessary tracking of the `CppFile` and instead
always retrieve it from the `SemIR::File`.

This allows to find the spaceship `operator<=>` when a comparison
operator is not available, and `operator==` when `operator!=` is not
available.
Support added to both lookup and overload resolution, by adding
`OperatorRewriteInfo` and propagating it in `CppOverloadSet`.
In case overload resolution chooses to use an operator which requires
rewriting, we emit a `TODO` since rewriting is not yet supported.
Part of #6170.
This turns out to be quite important, as several important standard
library types (such as `std::string`) have mixed-access overload sets
for their constructors as an implementation detail. The overall approach
here is:
- Use the most permissive access to determine the access of the overload
set itself. This affects whether name lookup finds the member name at
all.
- After overload resolution, re-check the access of the selected member,
if it's protected or private.

The general strategy here is to force use of a thunk when we want to use
default arguments, and have Clang generate uses of the default arguments
on its side of the thunk.
To support this, change the key type used in `clang_decls` from being
just a `Decl*` to being a pair of `Decl*` and number of parameters in
the case of function decls. Import distinct `SemIR::Function`s for each
number of parameters that's used, and corresponding distinct thunks.

Multiple overloads for the same operator are now resolved using overload
resolution.
This change doesn't try to solve all issues with operator lookup.
Moved the operator lookup logic from `import` to `operators` and changed
it to take the args into account.
Use `Sema::LookupOverloadedBinOp()` (with ADL) when looking up operator
functions to create an overload set.
Verified all demos in #6017, #6020 and #6024 still work.
C++ Interop Demo:
```c++
// my_number.h
class MyNumber {
public:
explicit MyNumber(int value) : value_(value) {}
auto value() const -> int { return value_; }
private:
int value_;
};
class NotMyNumber {};
auto operator+(MyNumber lhs, MyNumber rhs) -> MyNumber;
auto operator+(NotMyNumber lhs, NotMyNumber rhs) -> NotMyNumber;
```
```c++
// my_number.cpp
#include "my_number.h"
auto operator+(MyNumber lhs, MyNumber rhs) -> MyNumber {
return MyNumber(lhs.value() + rhs.value());
}
auto operator+(NotMyNumber lhs, NotMyNumber /*rhs*/) -> NotMyNumber {
return lhs;
}
```
```carbon
// main.carbon
library "Main";
import Core library "io";
import Cpp library "my_number.h";
fn Run() -> i32 {
// Arithmetic
var num1: Cpp.MyNumber = Cpp.MyNumber.MyNumber(14);
var num2: Cpp.MyNumber = Cpp.MyNumber.MyNumber(5);
Core.Print(num1.value());
Core.Print(num2.value());
Core.Print((num1 + num2).value());
return 0;
}
```
**After this change:**
```shell
$ clang -c my_number.cpp
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon compile main.carbon
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon link my_number.o main.o --output=demo
$ ./demo

```
**Before this change**
```shell
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon compile main.carbon
main.carbon:14:15: error: semantics TODO: `Unsupported: Lookup succeeded but couldn't find a single result; LookupResultKind: 3`
Core.Print((num1 + num2).value());
^~~~~~~~~~~
main.carbon:14:15: note: in `Cpp` operator `AddWith` lookup
Core.Print((num1 + num2).value());
^~~~~~~~~~~
