Implement the alias rules from proposal #5389, wherein an alias is
permitted so long as the target has a constant value. While that
proposal is not yet accepted, this seems like a reasonable basis for
further iteration, and will be useful for the examples we're currently
pursuing.
This allows us to capture the location at which a type literal was used,
even in the cases where we don't otherwise need to create a new
instruction to represent the type such as for `char` or `str`.
The logic used to build the underlying type is now marked as desugaring.
For cases such as `iN`, this causes the call to `Core.Int` to no longer
be added as a dedicated IR instruction, and instead its constant value
is used directly as the value of the `type_literal`. This results in
this being on balance a reduction in the size of the IR.
This also fixes a crash in C++ interop when using a `char` literal as a
template argument. The crash was caused by the template argument not
having an associated location when mapping to a C++ location. See
changes to check/testdata/interop/cpp/template/type_param.carbon for an
example that used to crash before this change.
Update alias handling to allow an alias to point at any type literal,
reinstating support for aliases for type literals such as `bool` and
`i32` that had previously worked but stopped working when we
transitioned those types to being defined in the prelude. See changes to
toolchain/check/testdata/alias/builtins.carbon.
All the test changes other than the two mentioned above are mechanical
autoupdate changes switching to the new instruction.
This shifts logic a little so that empty top-level scopes are printed
less often. This affects imports mainly for now, but should be expected
to affect the soon-to-be-added generated scope more significantly.

This resolves a TODO in `expr_info.cpp` by using the inst kind rather
than the bound value to track the binding's category.
Since we're churning all the `bind_name` insts in testdata anyway, I'm
also taking this opportunity to align the inst naming with the design's
terminology, by calling these insts "bindings" (this aspect of the PR is
dependent on #6231 resolving an ambiguity in that terminology). For
consistency we'll need to rename several other insts as well (see the
TODO on `RefBinding`); I'm deferring that to a separate PR to minimize
the review load, but I think those name changes are in-scope for this
review.
Change impls from `<interface>.impl` to `<self>.as.<interface>.impl`,
and *member* functions to `<parent scope>.<fn>` (non-member functions
exclude their parent scope). Stop special-casing builtin functions,
given the new naming scheme.
The purpose of this is to make it clearer when a member function is
being accessed and, if so, which member function. In particular, we
often access interface `Op` functions. The builtin function
special-casing was intended to help with that, but we still have lots of
`Op` functions. This particular approach should make the interactions
clearer.
This changes up queueing of block IDs a little because, in particular,
we need to process bodies of entities only after constants finish
processing. But, it should also result in less memory usage during
processing because it means we have less on the insts stack at any given
time, since we track a block rather than all instructions contained by
the block.
Use `full.carbon` min-prelude for any tests using the full prelude. A
few tests were using it unnecessarily and are changed to a more minimal
one in the process.
Any test which does not include some min-prelude will now fail with an
error.
Previously we walked the global variables defined by the current file
and emitted an LLVM global variable definition for each of them. Now
instead, when emitting a constant reference to a global variable, we
emit an LLVM global variable declaration, and we then subsequently walk
the global variables defined by the current file and convert each of
them from a declaration to a definition.
In order to make import of names of global variables work, add support
for import of `var`, as well as support for importing `tuple_access` and
`tuple_pattern` in the case where the `var` has a tuple pattern in its
declaration. Also treat `bind_name`s that are reference bindings to
`var`s as having the same constant reference value as their `var` so
that we can properly import and lower them.

Doing a few things here, to sound people out on a broader test cleanup:
1. Adding `--dump-sem-ir-ranges=<value>` to all files.
- The default is currently `if-present`. I'd like to change the default
to `only` in tests. Always setting it both makes it clear which tests
have been looked at as part of cleanup, and makes changing the default a
simpler "remove" action (versus "find changed tests and add lines").
- I'm only using `if-present` in import tests; ranges would hide
imported instructions, but I think the imported instructions are more
relevant in those.
2. Removing `--no-dump-sem-ir` uses.
- `--dump-sem-ir-ranges=only` has similar results to `--no-dump-sem-ir`,
so this is partly consolidating.
- Relying on the "only" value allows for easier combining of test files
into splits.
3. Evaluating where splits may be used.
- Historically, we had to have each test be an individual file.
4. Preferring files with a split named `fail_` over files that use the
default name.
- I think this makes test files a little more consistently named, and
should ease the path if people want to add more split tests (vs pushing
people towards adding files).
- But I can switch back for single-split tests if the leaning is more
that we shouldn't repeat.
Specific to an `alias`, significant notes:
1. Consolidates several tests into a `basics.carbon` test.
- In there, adds a simple alias test; I didn't immediately see a trivial
test like that.
2. The "aliased_name_in_diag" test was no longer testing what it was
supposed to; however, there's "preserve_in_type_printing" so I'm
removing it as duplicative (vs switching to a min_prelude test).
3. Moves out a control flow test that didn't appear related to `alias`.
Modifies the core package and literal handling to use factory functions
for standard type literals.
Updates function/builtin/import.carbon to stop depending on the prelude,
since it would list all the impls in the core file. Updates
alias/builtins.carbon to be failing (the type values cannot be aliased).
- Adds an empty prelude.carbon file
- Imports that file in any non-Core package file
- Adds --disable-prelude-import to avoid that
- Adds --exclude-dump-file-prefix to be able to hide files from dumping
- Used to hide core files (we can't do this by package name due to lex
dumps, for example)
- Restructures some tests to not rely on `i32`, particularly `alias`
tests (which rely on a name ref) and tests with no prelude.
I'm adding the framework for switching i32 to calling Int32 in the
prelude, but I'm running into a separate error actually switching over.
So that *mostly* works, but isn't quite ready for prime time. However,
maybe the current state of this PR is still useful to review since it
does a lot of the infrastructure work and adds the %Core everywhere?
Adds `BindAlias` with a hybrid of `BindName` and `NameRef` semantics. I
think it's slightly closer to `BindName` because it introduces a name,
so I'm going more in that direction. This also matches the need for
`bind_name_id` with imports on enclosing scopes.
Note, only things that look like a name reference are being allowed on
the RHS of `alias`. This includes builtins that look like name
references, such as `bool`, but not ones that turn into values
underneath, such as `false`.
