Richard Smith dfac728571 Fix pointer sizes in debug info. (#7002)
The size is in bits, so 8 is an unlikely value. Also, don't hardcode a
size, ask the data layout for it.

Richard SmithandGeoff Romer ce50f181f1 Add an interface for initialization of vars without an explicit initializer (#6934)
When a `var` is not explicitly given an initializer, initialize it in
one of two ways:

* If its type implements the new interface `Core.Default`, call
`Core.Default.Op` to initialize it.
* Otherwise, if its type implements `UnformedInit`, leave it in an
unformed state. For now, this is always an uninitialized state, but that
will change in the future.
* If neither of those apply, the `var` declaration is ill-formed.

This is a step towards implementing leads decision #6739 and proposals
#257 and #5913.

Richard Smith 7bfeae0fd5 Give internal linkage to global init function. (#6591)
The mangled name of the global init function is the same for all files
in a package, so giving it external linkage results in link errors if
more than one file in a package has global initializers. We never need
to refer to it from outside the file, so give it internal linkage.

This also requires that we stop eagerly emitting a declaration of it --
if it's empty, we don't emit a definition, and LLVM doesn't allow us to
emit an undefined declaration of an internal linkage symbol.

David BlaikieandDana Jansens a179bd461b Start plumbing through debug info type information with function parameters/return value (#6410)
This adds just enough debug info for i32/int parameters and return
values, with a path forward for adding DWARF type metadata for other
types.

As it happens, return type information is carried separately from
parameter information:
* Return type information is carried in the `type` of the `DISubprogram`
  (as a `DISubroutineType` - which does carry parameter type information
  as well, but that's unused when the DWARF is emitted by LLVM)
* Parameter information is carried by `DILocalVariable`s with a non-zero
  `arg` value (representing the order of function parameters)

In the absence of locations for the parameters (future work), nothing
would usually keep the `DILocalVariable` live/reachable when emitting
DWARF - so for cases where this can happen (for clang, this happens in
optimized builds where all references to the parameter variable might be
optimized away) the variables can be "retained" in a list on the
`DISubprogram` - achieved by passing `AlwaysPreserve` parameter to
`createParameterVariable` (adds them to a list, then that list gets
attached to the `DISubprogram` when it's finalized later)

For now, any unsupported types are emitted as `void*` (except void
return, which is implemented as void) as a placeholder.

Given this example:
```
import Core library "io";
class MyClass {
}
fn Unsupported(v: MyClass) {
}
fn Ret() -> i32 {
  return 42;
}
fn Arg(x: i32) {
  Core.Print(x);
}
fn Run() {
}
```
this is the resulting DWARF:
```
DW_TAG_compile_unit
  DW_AT_name    ("test.carbon")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Unsupported")
    DW_TAG_formal_parameter
      DW_AT_type        (0x00000066 "void *")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Ret")
    DW_AT_type  (0x00000062 "int")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Arg")
    DW_TAG_formal_parameter
      DW_AT_type        (0x00000062 "int")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Run")
  DW_TAG_base_type
    DW_AT_name  ("int")
  DW_TAG_pointer_type
```
And the debugger:
```
(gdb) p Ret()
$1 = 42
(gdb) p Arg(4)
4
$2 = void
```

I'm not sure if there's a way this logic should be merged with the logic
for making the `llvm::Function` type (which the `DISubroutineType`
building code was inspired by/copied from) - since they're done at
different times/places, I don't think there's an easy way to do it in
one pass, but maybe the code can be shared (even if it's run twice) in
some generic `SemIR::Function` type walker.

David Blaikie bb9942823f DebugInfo: Emit as "C++" rather than "C" (#6361)
This helps at least lldb handle calling functions (currently the debug
info describes every function as `void()`, so no parameters or return
values are supported) - seems gdb and lldb both depend on demangling to
varying degrees in C code (marking a function as "prototyped" in C in
DWARF does seem to also address this problem).

Given:
```
fn PrintThree() {
  Core.Print(3);
}
```
Before:
```
  (lldb) p PrintThree()
  error: Couldn't look up symbols:
    PrintThree
  Hint: The expression tried to call a function that is not present in
    the target, perhaps because it was optimized out by the compiler.
```
After:
```
  (lldb) p PrintThree()
  3
  (lldb)
```

aa69a484eb Add support for running LLVM optimizer. (#6225)
Adds a flag `--optimize=<mode>` that specifies what to optimize for:

* `--optimize=none` turns off the optimizer as much as possible, but
still respects always_inline.
* `--optimize=debug` aims to be the equivalent of `-Og` / `-O1`, and
provides optimizations that don't affect the ability to debug the
program. This is the default.
* `--optimize=size` optimizes for the size of the produced program, and
aims to be the equivalent of `-Oz`.
* `--optimize=speed` optimizes for the execution time of the produced
program, and aims to be the equivalent of `-O3`.

Following the approach taken by Clang, the optimization level feeds into
both the configuration of the LLVM pass pipeline and the attributes
added to function definitions generated by the frontend.

Optimization is performed in a new phase, `optimize`, which runs between
`lower` and `codegen`.

Dana Jansens bff601e417 Add min-preludes to most of lowering and a few more slow tests (#5680)
Adds min-preludes to a few more slowest tests, and adds them to most of
the lowering tests, with a few exceptions that make use of operators.
This take the runtime of file_test down from about 8s to about 7s on my
machine.

We add support for Negate on uints in the min-preludes.

Richard Smith 5b884ae14d Improve lowering for global variables. (#5492)
- Track the `VarPattern` instruction on the `VarStorage` instruction so
that it's available for name mangling.
- Mangle global variables based on the first binding name within their
pattern.
- Give global variables external rather than internal linkage, except if
they have no bindings whatsoever in their pattern.
- To support lowering references to bindings nested within a global var,
such as for `var (x: i32, b: i32)`, add some basic initial support for
reference constant expressions. Treat a global `var` as a reference
constant, and treat an aggregate access into a reference constant as a
reference constant.

Jon Ross-Perkins 2929254168 Update LLVM version, fix breaks (#4886)
- The actual reason I started this: minor lowering updates in the golden
LLVM IR
- Process.inc changed enough to need a patch context update.
- https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/123126 added `proto_library`
uses without a `load`, which is broken in bazel 8
- Just commenting these out because we don't use them. I'll follow up
separately about a possible fix, but continuing to use `WORKSPACE` is a
bigger issue LLVM probably should address.
- Note this update is also triggering removal of `migrate_cpp`, in #4887

David Blaikie 5719687438 Fix crash in lowering use of a global variable (#4631)
Actually presenting two options in this one review - if you look at the
specific
commits in this PR, the first commit represents my first attempt - and
if you
look at the overall PR change for the second attempt.

But I'm totally open to completely different approaches/ideas - these
were just
my rough guesses.

a548eff0bb Rudimentary name mangling support (#4267)
This seems to be enough to avoid naming collisions for functions in any
of the current test cases (verified by asserting that the name of the
`llvm::Function` matches the name passed to create it - not triggering
LLVM's numbering that happens when names collide)

It currently implements mangling for namespace scopes, class scopes, and
impls.
Nothing generic is mangled yet - haven't looked at how that works,
though evidently it's not covered by existing testing, I guess.

Follow-up change will document the current mangling algorithm in
`toolchain/docs/lower.md`

Jon Ross-PerkinsandDavid Blaikie 1412ecd3f4 Handle unknown lines in DebugInfo (#4252)
Mainly, changes the default from -1 to 0 in DiagnosticLoc, still trying
to keep reusing that. Nothing except for the lowered output is affected,
so I think this is fine.

Also, have lowering consistently call GetDiagnosticLoc.

David Blaikie 67b287a2f2 DebugInfo: Add the name as-written, separate from the mangled name (#4253)
There's not much mangling happening yet - but Run -> main (and some
overloading numbering happening, maybe LLVM is doing that 'helpfully'
under the hood?) is enough to demonstrate this improvement/fix.

Ah, here it is:
```

```

That's where LLVM decides to make a new name (name.number) when asked to
create a new global with the same name as an existing global.

It's not a valid mangling scheme - since the name won't be stable
between different compilations, but it is enough to make
single-compilation code build/run for now.

David Blaikie 0ae2a3907e Add line-level debug info (#4247)
Seems to work with lldb ( https://pastebin.com/igKkNECm ), though gdb
has /some/ trouble with the paths (they aren't complete - just using the
filename directly, not providing the working directory - might be some
quick hacks that can help there).

David BlaikieandJon Ross-Perkins c5ada29ba9 Add filename and line number to function debug info metadata (#4243)
Refactors a bunch of the SemIRDiagnosticConverter to be able to use that
from Lower to access source locations there to use in debug info.

I assume some of this is a bit jank/would need to be fixed/improved in
the future - like the context functor that's passed into ConvertLoc?
(not totally clear what that's for/what the debug info will be missing
out on in its absence, I could throw a FIXME in there if you like)

David BlaikieandJon Ross-Perkins ea8ad22a17 Add function debug info descriptions (#4233)
Still doesn't have line tables, so of limited value (at least now
this'll be enough that LLVM really generates debug info into the
resulting object file (whereas with only the compilation unit metadata,
LLVM will consider it empty and avoid emitting any of it)) - but another
step along the path.

This also doesn't attach the right source location to the functions -
I'll do that in a follow-up change because I think it'll require the
majority of the refactoring between driver and check to extract the
essential functionality sem_ir_diagnostic_converter, I think, to allow
retrieving source locations during lowering.

d57aa57215 Add rudimentry debug info metadata emission (#4225)
This adds just the debug info metadata for Compilation Units (the top
level container of debug info) - but without anything in them, LLVM
won't emit them at all, so while this is testable at the IR level, it
isn't observable at the object level until more debug info is added.

A couple of starting points in this patch:
* A flag (`--debug-info`, seems to match the naming/style of other flags
in the carbon driver, though this is different from the naming
conventions of clang/gcc) that enables debug info when lowering. Open to
other names/approaches (on by default? historically debug info's been to
large/expensive to do this, so sticking with that precedent for now).
* Enabling that flag by default in the lowering tests - I do find the
churn on golden tests a bit rough, and adding more features to all the
tests means more churn, but it seems consistent with the approach so far
- keep an eye on this and perhaps revisit this if the churn gets too
annoying
