Richard Smith 05cc09daca Fix cross-package signature mismatches. (#7232)
Fixes link failures when referencing a symbol involving a fingerprint
from a different package.

Previously we included the `Namespace`'s `import_id` as part of its
fingerprint, which caused local and imported namespaces to get different
fingerprints. We now store the `import_id` on the `NameScope` instead of
on the `Namespace` inst to avoid this problem.

Also, when we reach a package-level `NameScopeId`, consistently
fingerprint it as a (package name, library name) pair. Previously the
fingerprinting depended on whether it was imported or not, as an
imported `NameScopeId` had a parent scope (the current package). We need
to include the library name here so that private entities with the same
name in different libraries have different fingerprints.

Viktor 8d907e857e Add regression test for var parameter cleanup from struct literals (#7175)
`param.carbon` already tests cleanup when passing a class value produced
by
`C.Make()` to a `var` parameter. Add the corresponding struct literal
case,
`F({})`, matching the repro from #7168

The issue appears to already be fixed on main so this adds a test to
make sure
the compiler keeps calling `Core.Destroy` for the temporary value after
`F({})`
returns

Closes #7168

Lucile Rose Nihlen bc1ae703c3 return 0 from Run when it doesn't specify a return value (#7180)
https://carbon.compiler-explorer.com/z/88K9Kh5Wo shows the program
exiting with a garbage value copied from uninitialized memory.

This PR modifies `lower` to detect if the function lowered is the
entry point and doesn't specify a return type. If so, it emits
different LLVM IR to return int32 0, and modifies the lowered
function signature to match the int32 return type.

Richard Smith 341901e337 Fix crash if an inst in a pending block needs a cleanup. (#7166)
Insert the cleanup if and when the pending block is inserted, not
eagerly. And if the pending block is inserted by overwriting an existing
instruction, create a cleanup for that instruction rather than for the
instruction in the pending block that we are discarding.

Jon Ross-Perkinsandjonmeow 9266ced4e3 Improve CanDestroyType to handle remaining cases (#6943)
This is only fixing the decision about *whether* to produce a witness.
Implementation of the witness is still a TODO, though where a body is
generated, it should also precisely reflect where one _needs_ to be
generated.

Note the tests:

- toolchain/lower/testdata/function/generic/import_core_witness.carbon
- toolchain/lower/testdata/function/generic/import_unused_def.carbon

These tests can probably be produced _without_ Core.Destroy, but I found
the essence of them while trying to build //examples with Core.Destroy
and a simpler minimization wasn't striking me.

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 f9ab963bd6 Add a type_literal instruction to represent syntactic type literals. (#6781)
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.

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.

Geoff Romer 505b1c86b9 Initial support for return forms (#6556)
The main changes here are:
- Introducing `InitForm` and `RefForm` to represent initializing and
reference forms (the two return forms currently supported by the
parser).
- Introducing the `FormType` singleton inst to represent their type
(i.e. `Core.Form`).
- Emitting an inst representing a function's declared return form as
part of handling the function signature.

The return form inst is currently ignored. Subsequent PRs will expose it
in `SemIR::Function` and use it to determine the form of call
expressions.

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)

Dana Jansens 5ae5170421 Allow deduction of tuple and struct literals as symbolic generic facet types (#6365)
Give TupleLiteral and StructLiteral a constant value, if their contents
have constant values. Their constant values are TupleValue and
StructValue respectively. This supports their ability to convert to a
constant type (or facet type).

This way when deduce finds a TupleLiteral as the argument to a
_symbolic_ facet type, it can also find a constant value to use for that
argument. This allows deduction to move onto step two, where it can
substitute into the symbolic parameter from previous deduced arguments,
and then perform the conversion from the TupleValue to the desired facet
type.

Allow `PerformBuiltinConversion()` to convert from a canonical
TupleValue or StructValue to `type` instead of only from literals. Then,
also support conversion from a symbolic binding of type TupleType or
StructType to `type`.

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`.

This drops the wall clock time for running file_test from 10s to 8s on

since #5653, and before that file_test was taking about 3.5s.

We introduce a few more flavours of min_prelude to support more tests.

a23631f360 Support for lowering references to imported vars. (#5513)
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.

- 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.

separately about a possible fix, but continuing to use `WORKSPACE` is a
bigger issue LLVM probably should address.

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 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

Jon Ross-Perkins 83413479d7 Move some of the test information to TIP lines (#4007)
This has is a nice-to-have for me. Frequently I want to run a specific
test, and end up digging through output to be able to copy-paste the run
line. This uses TIP lines to inject the command into the file when using
AUTOUPDATE.

Note, one of the reasons I want this is because "bazel test
//toolchain/testing:file_test --test_output=all" has been regularly
exceeding bazel's output limit for me (workaround is either opening the
output file or specifying an obscure output limit flag), making it a
little harder for me to get the commands. However, frequently I'm adding
a file and want to iterate on it, so that's really the use case I have
in mind here.

Richard Smith 3776c068de Unify instruction naming between SemIR and LLVM IR (#3898)
Factor out `SemIR::InstNamer` and also use it when lowering to LLVM IR.
Automatically name all instructions created with our `IRBuilder` based
on the name computed by the `InstNamer`, and likewise name basic blocks
using the label generated by the `InstNamer`.

Move some of the existing naming logic out from lower into `InstNamer`
so that it's also used in SemIR. In particular, we now name call
instructions after their callee, or after the builtin name for calls to
builtins.

Computing and adding these names isn't completely free. This instruction
naming is designed to be optional, so that we can turn it off for builds
where the LLVM IR will only be converted to assembly and won't be seen
by a human, but so far it's enabled unconditionally. We can tune that
later as needed.
