Richard Smith 49024c8d83 Improve diagnostics and error recovery for invalid identifiers. (#7249)
If a keyword or a sized type literal (eg, `f2`) is used in a context
where we are confident that we are expecting an identifier -- either
before a `:` in a binding pattern or after a `.` in a member access or
designator -- then recover as if a raw identifier was used.

This appears to be a particular stumbling block for coding agents, so
seems worth paying special attention to.

Add a mechanism to the tokenized buffer to track additional tokens
synthesized for error recovery so that we can keep the lexed token
sequence immutable and still satisfy the invariants throughout the rest
of the toolchain for recovery tokens. Thanks to chandlerc for suggesting
this approach!

Nicholas Bishop 773ecdfac6 Implement static var class fields (#7215)
This adds the `static` token to the lexer and parses it as a modifier.

In check, `FullPatternStack::Kind::FieldDecl` is now used for both
static and non-static vars. Static vars get treated basically the same
as `NameBindingDecl`s.

Global initialization is used for static var initializers. To make the
necessary stack information available to `pattern_match.cpp`, the
`full_pattern_stack` and `decl_introducer_state_stack` are now popped
later in `handle_let_and_var.cpp`.

In lowering, each class's body is checked for `VarStorage` insts and
lowered the same as global vars.

Nicholas Bishop bd918fb33b Parse vars in classes the same as vars in other locations (#7188)
Class vars are still restricted to simple `name: type` bindings, not
full patterns. This is now handled in the check phase instead of during
parsing.

This is in preparation for supporting `static var`.

Richard Smith 8b59e85b16 Add support for inline Cpp declarations. (#6994)
For #6830, add support for inline C++ fragments as a declaration rather
than as a packaging directive. For now, this uses `inline Cpp
<string-literal>;` as syntax. The prior `import Cpp inline
<string-literal>;` is left alone for the time being. We can decide
separately whether to remove that.

`inline Cpp` requires that there was at least one `import Cpp`. It's not
clear to me if that's the right design long-term, but it seems
reasonable for now.

Richard Smith 181a592b8c Support for parsing expression patterns (#6977)
When parsing a pattern, if we encounter something that isn't pattern
syntax, try parsing as an expression instead. We only need one-token
lookahead to distinguish pattern syntax from expression syntax.

Track a precedence group through pattern parsing so that we can allow
different kinds of expressions in a top-level pattern (such as the
operand of `let`) and in a nested pattern (such as a subpattern of a
tuple pattern or within grouping parens). For example, we do not allow
`case if ...`, and for now I've chosen to also not allow logical or
relational operators at the top level of a pattern, so `case 1 + 1` is
OK, but `case 1 == 1` and `case true and false` require parentheses.
This decision should be ratified or revisited by a design proposal.

Very basic check support is also provided, only sufficient to form an
`ExprPattern` instruction and nothing beyond that. For now, all pattern
matching against an `ExprPattern` fails with a TODO error. To support
that, I've switched from calling `BeginSubpattern` in the parent handler
of a pattern and `EndSubpatternAs*` in the pattern handler itself to
calling both functions in parent handlers, with `EndSubpattern`
converting an expression into an expression pattern where needed.

Depends on #6976.

Richard SmithandGeoff Romer 899e54de36 Treat (pattern) as grouping parens. (#6976)
Do not treat it as a 1-tuple pattern as we used to. The design indicates
that `(pattern)` is invalid, but this appears to be an oversight, and
grouping parens appear to be the intended interpretation.

Richard Smith 99bde2acb3 Refactor match parse nodes. (#6870)
Use the same node kind for the body of `case` and `default` handlers. We
don't need to distinguish these in check, so don't create extra node
kinds for them.

In order to make the nodes properly delimited, make the label (`case
...` or `default`) nodes be children of the `=>` node rather than
siblings. This allows us to use the node kind of the `=>` as the
bracketing node for the complete handler, rather than having two
different bracketing node kinds, one for each kind of label.

1c7a4030ab Parse invalid lambdas without crashing (#6826)
Fixes a compiler crash that occurs when a malformed lambda is provided
as an operand to an operator that strictly expects an expression

Changes:
- Emits an `InvalidParse` dummy node at the current position to act as a
placeholder for the missing body
- Changed state transitions so that `LambdaIntroducer` gets properly
wrapped into a `Lambda` node


Closes #6823

Geoff Romer 4a0cf6c1fb Track the start of a signature more accurately (#6760)
This change ensures that a function signature always starts with an
`IdentifierNameMaybeBeforeSignature` node (renamed from
`IdentifierNameBeforeParams`), even in the case of function declarations
like `fn F -> T` that have no parameter list. As a consequence, this
ensures that we push new entries onto `pattern_block_stack` and
`full_pattern_stack` when we start processing the function signature.

Richard Smith 1b2ae912fc Add basic support for eval fn and musteval fn. (#6694)
Add support for compile-time functions. `eval fn` is analogous to C++
`constexpr`, and is evaluated at compile time when it has compile-time
arguments. `musteval fn` is analogous to C++ `consteval`, and requires
that its arguments be available at compile time and is always evaluated
at compile time. For now we require the modifier to match across
redeclarations of the function. The specific modifier syntax here is a
placeholder and not yet part of an approved design.

Limitations: Only very basic support for evaluation is provided. So far
there's no support for mutable state or `if` expressions, but otherwise
control flow and passing and returning values should work. Carbon
evaluation recursion is modeled by C++ recursion for now, so you can
overflow the toolchain stack easily. Functions that use in-place
initialization will generally not work yet, as they are modeled as
passing a non-compile-time-constant reference to a temporary to the
call.

Add missing categorization of `name_binding_decl` as `NotExpr` to match
other similar declaration instructions like `FunctionDecl`, so that we
can uniformly skip over them when they occur within function bodies.

Jon Ross-PerkinsandDana Jansens 8166f9a7cf Formalize Cpp as a PackageNameId (#6306)
This turns `Cpp` into a keyword, and makes it map to `NameId::Cpp` and
`PackageNameId::Cpp`.

Per discussion with zygoloid, the keyword versus identifier question is
deliberately kept open by #4846. This PR switches to a keyword because
mapping to a specific `PackageNameId` works best with a special `NameId`
not backed by an `IdentifierId`. We could in theory make it work using
`IdentifierId` or a runtime-tracked `PackageNameId` for `Cpp` (e.g.
stored on `SemIR::File`), but this approach is consistent with `Core`
and so seemed like a good starting point.

Type check named constraint decls and definitions. We don't correctly

We have attempted to share code between `interface` and `constraint` as
they are quite similar. First by splitting out some of
handle_interface.cpp to a separate file. Second by sharing some code
paths when you want a facet type from either one, as they both turn into
a facet type.

Richard Smith 41ed82e033 Add basic support for strings to core, check, and lower. (#5963)
Add a `Core.String` class to the prelude representing a string view, and
rename the `String` keyword to `str` and make it evaluate to
`Core.String`.

`Core.String` is represented as a pair of a pointer to a character
(actually, to the first character of a string, but we don't have a way
of modeling that yet) and a size (which should be pointer-width, but is
currently always a `u64` as we don't have a `usize` equivalent yet).
`Core.String` values are generated directly by the toolchain for string
literal expressions.

This follows the direction established at the recent summit, but the
design implemented here has not been through the proposal process yet.

Dana JansensandJon Ross-Perkins 4b0e2b03b6 Add the .Self name for the type expression of a compile time binding (#5937)
We add a virtual node (`CompileTimeBindingPatternStart`) as the first
child of `CompileTimeBindingPattern` which holds the identifier
underneath it, so that it is checked just before the type expression of
the `CompileTimeBindingPattern`. When we reach this virtual node during
check, we add `.Self` as a name in the current scope, and when we reach
`CompileTimeBindingPattern` we remove it from scope, which ensures it's
present during only the checking of the type expression for the compile
time pattern.

At the moment the `.Self` has a different type (it's a `TypeType`) than
other `.Self` in the facet type (which are a single `FacetType`), but
the intention is to immediately substitute it out of the facet type
entirely, replacing it with a reference to the compile time binding (a
`BindSymbolicName`) itself. A TODO has been added for this.

37d5046ceb Support parse/check/lower for char (#5901)
toolchain/check/testdata/builtins/char/basics.carbon and
toolchain/lower/testdata/builtins/char.carbon are probably the most
interesting tests here. The parse tests is required because this adds a
new node kind, and we need coverage of it; but the attached info is
minor. There's a fair amount of test churn here because I'm adding the
Core.Char and Core.CharLiteral types as new singletons.

My intent here is that `CharId` is always a unicode code point, even
when the type is a `Char` and thus must be a single UTF-8 code unit
(single byte). This mainly means the stored value of a `CharValue` can
be printed internally without knowing the type.

Jon Ross-Perkins 806bee1063 Shift from ARGS to EXTRA-ARGS where possible (#5602)
Adds minimal defaults for codegen so that those tests don't need to
specify the full command line.

Moves driver/testdata/compile to check/testdata/basics/raw_sem_ir, which
seems like it better reflects the focus. Removes the textual IR test
because we have plenty of those now.

Moves a multiline token diagnostic test to parse because (a) diagnostics
doesn't have other tests and (b) this is really testing the way that
parse structures the location.

Drops `--include-diagnostic-kind` from some driver tests that aren't
testing a diagnostic, so the flag felt a bit like noise (even before
this change, there are a few tests that don't specify it because they're
not intended to test an emitted diagnostic, just high-level diagnostic
behaviors).

Adds some comments to reflect my understanding of why a test exists,
when I was pausing to think about it.

Modifies the stdin test to do more dumps; which happens to expose we
currently misbehave.

In line with the proposal in #4682, this changes the array syntax to be
array(T, N). `array` is a builtin keyword which must be followed by
parens containing two expressions and a separating comma.

The array type expression is still fully builtin, it does not forward to
a Core.Array library type yet. It merely adds the `ArrayType`
instruction, as was done with the previous syntax.

Followup work will change the instruction to reference to Core.Array,
once the library type exists and can be used directly.

Richard Smith 6dda094928 Superficial support for template modifier on symbolic bindings. (#4948)
Change parse tree from `template (T:! type)` to `(template T):! type`,
so that we have information about whether a binding is a template
binding available when forming the representation of the binding
pattern. This incidentally fixes a bug that we would accept `template
addr A:! B` instead of the intended `addr template A:! B`.

Track whether a symbolic binding is a template binding on the
`EntityName` object. I'm borrowing a bit from the `CompileTimeBindIndex`
for this in order to avoid making `EntityName`s larger. Longer-term, we
should think about using a different representation for symbolic
bindings, to avoid including these fields in all `EntityName`s, but
that's out of scope for this change.

So far, template bindings are treated as having the same phase as
checked bindings, but that will change in a future PR.
