Richard Smith 0a4fd2cb7e Fix thunk generation for &&-qualified methods. (#6881)
Use the object parameter type when creating a reference to the thunk

`*this` expression in the thunk.

Richard Smith 39fd358059 Map Carbon value expressions to const-qualified C++ prvalues. (#6880)
In C++ overload resolution, when mapping a Carbon value expression into
a C++ argument, produce a const-qualified argument where possible. This
has two effects:

* Overload resolution does not consider non-const-qualified member
functions to be viable for a prvalue self any more. This is desirable
since such functions are not actually callable with a prvalue self, and
permits overload resolution to pick a const-qualified overload instead.

* Overload resolution does not allow a Carbon value expression to be
passed to a C++ `T&&` parameter any more. This is desirable since it's
not correct to move from a value expression. Previously we allowed this
and moved from the value!

21291b4cc3 Remove InitForm::index (#6817)
This ensures that equal forms always have equal representations (because
the index depends on how the form is used, not on the value of the form
itself).

As a byproduct, also remove `NextCallParamIndex`.

Jon Ross-Perkins b14015602b Make Destroy.Op functions able to have a body (#6729)
This is iterating on how `Destroy.Op` generates, to start adding body
capabilities. This changes the way the signature is created, and adds a
`CoreWitness` function kind so that mangling can prevent name
collisions. The result is that what _was_ `DestroyOp` is now
`Core.Destroy.Op` or, as can be seen in
toolchain/lower/testdata/interop/cpp/nullptr.carbon,
`_COp.<hash>:core.Destroy.Core` where `:core` is indicating that it's a
core witness (taking a note from `:thunk`).

Richard Smith 41dd256d56 Support for initialization of classes with abstract base classes. (#6802)
When initializing `.base` in class initialization, use `partial Base` as
the destination type rather than `Base`. Treat `partial Base` as not
being abstract even when `Base` is.

Allow conversion from a `partial T` initializer to a `T` initializer.
Store the vptr while performing the conversion. Do not store the vptr
when performing a `partial T` initialization, only when performing a
non-partial `T` initialization.

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.

Dana Jansens fbc8d59d32 Introduce Diagnostics::ContextScope and remove diagnoser callbacks in type completion (#6761)
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.

little KitchenandRichard Smith 8edd5eb9a1 fix: reject {} initialization for non-aggregate C++ classes (#6675)
## Summary

Fixes the toolchain incorrectly allowing `{}` initialization for
non-aggregate C++ classes.

## Problem

When importing an empty C++ class, the toolchain was treating it as a
Carbon empty struct, which allowed initialization from `{}`. This is
incorrect for non-aggregate classes (e.g., those with user-declared
constructors).

```carbon
import Cpp inline '''
struct X { X(); };  // non-aggregate (has user-declared constructor)
''';

fn Make() {
  var x: Cpp.X = {};  // incorrectly accepted, should be rejected
}
```

## Solution

Added a check for `clang_def->isAggregate()` in `ImportClassObjectRepr`
so that only aggregate classes get the empty struct representation.

**Before:**
```cpp
if (clang_def->isEmpty() && !clang_def->getNumBases()) {
```

**After:**
```cpp
if (clang_def->isEmpty() && !clang_def->getNumBases() &&
    clang_def->isAggregate()) {
```

## Testing

Added test file
`toolchain/check/testdata/interop/cpp/class/non_aggregate_init.carbon`
with:
- Non-aggregate class (`struct X { X(); }`) - should reject `{}`
initialization
- Aggregate class (`struct Y {}`) - should accept `{}` initialization

Note: I couldn't run tests locally due to clang version requirements
(needs >= 19, have 17). The CI should validate the changes.

Closes #6669

Dana Jansens 917a6ea971 Add an interface-with-self generic to each interface and same for constraints (#6667)
Currently each interface has a `Self` facet internally that becomes a
binding to every entity inside the interface: associated constants,
functions, and require decls. Each of these has to be independently
generic as a result. This makes is challenging in extended name lookup
to move into an extended scope of an interface, as we have a specific
for the interface, but the names within require a different specific
that includes a `Self` facet value.

We generalize this relationship by adding a second generic to Interface,
called `generic_with_self`. When we want to work with entities inside
the interface, we move from the interface-without-specific to the
interface-with-self specific by adding a Self to the specific. This is
done independently of any particular entity inside the Interface, as
those entities are now all members of the interface-with-self generic.

Associated constants no longer need a generic of their own, as they do
not have separate generic bindings. Functions retain a generic, but if
the function has no generic arguments, it will have no bindings of its
own now.

Require decls retain a generic so that their specific can be
instantiated separately from the interface. Requiring the interface to
be complete does not require the types in a require decl to be complete
unless it is modified by `extend`. So we allow them to be completed
later by keeping them in a separate generic.

Named constraints look like interfaces and gain the additional inner
generic-with-self, with the same relationship to require decls.

This removes the need for name lookup to perform Substitution of a Self
facet into the extended scope instruction. Instead, the
`SpecificConstant` instruction inserted by a `require` decl is part of
the interface-with-self generic. When looking through a FacetType for
extended scopes, for each interface, we push the scope with the specific
for the interface-with-self. Then the constant value of the
`SpecificConstant` is correctly modified by the provided self
automatically through applying that specific.

Geoff RomerandRichard Smith e5b05a1fac ExprCategory for guaranteed-in-place initializing expressions (#6623)
The primary change in this PR is to split the `Initializing` expression
category into separate `ReprInitializing` and `InPlaceInitializing`
categories, depending on whether initialization uses the types
initializing representation, or is guaranteed to be in place. It also
rationalizes and documents the SemIR-level semantics of those categories
(including where #5545's "ephemeral entire reference" category will
fit), and introduces two new inst kinds to close gaps exposed in the
process.

Some additional secondary changes:
- Consistently format the storage arguments of initializers with `to`,
regardless of whether initialization is in-place, and document the `to`
notation.
- Rename some inst kinds and functions, and restructure some of the
code, for clarity and consistency with the new documentation.
- Resolve a TODO to handle more category conversions in
`CategoryConverter`, in order to make it easier to reason about category
conversions.

Richard Smith 093d5072db Add support for using C++ user-defined conversions via interop (#6646)
When performing an implicit conversion to or from a C++ class type, look
for a C++ implicit conversion, and if that conversion involves a
function call (to a constructor or conversion function), call that
function to perform the conversion.

Note that this is just a first pass at supporting implicit conversions.
There are a lot of other things that can happen in a C++ implicit
conversion, such as aggregate initialization or `std::initializer_list`
initialization that aren't handled here. In addition, we intentionally
leave all standard conversions to Carbon to perform, so that we will
reject conversions such as `i32 -> unsigned` that C++ would select but
Carbon considers to be invalid.

Also support `as` conversions. These are treated analogously, but
perform direct-initialization instead of copy-initialization, so they
also find `explicit` constructors and conversion functions.

In order to give good diagnostics, also track the original C++ source
location for imported C++ functions on the imported version of the
function.

Richard SmithandGeoff Romer de0ad6730f Fix crash if a member of std::string_view is found in a derived class. (#6604)
Members of `std::string_view` can't be accessed directly, because that
type maps into Carbon's `str` type (`Core.String`), so member access
doesn't find the C++ members. But they can be named via qualified name
lookup into a derived type. That crashed because we didn't expect the
non-Cpp type `Core.String` to be the parent of a Cpp-imported member.

Plus add some more test coverage for related cases (not involving `str`)
that already worked.

Geoff Romer 4329a83e4c Form-aware textual format for return parameters and arguments (#6588)
The key changes are:
- Function output parameters are now prefixed with `out`, and more
consistently formatted as named parameters.
- Function and inst output arguments are now written as part of the inst
form, rather than as one of the inst arguments.

As a drive-by fix, this also changes `Temporary::storage_id` from
`DestInstId` to `InstId`, because it doesn't represent an output
parameter of the `Temporary` inst itself.

[#6532](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/6532) and

parser).
- Introducing the `FormType` singleton inst to represent their type

- 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.

Jon Ross-Perkins c5eba90317 Change Destroy to use a CustomWitness instead of a blanket impl (#6512)
Pursuant to recent decisions on #6124, switch `Destroy` to use a
`CustomWitness` for its implementation. Right now this is manufacturing
no-op implementation functions on each lookup, which obviously isn't
ideal but is intended as a first pass. I'm mostly trying to find the
right balance between updating the approach to reflect new decisions,
while still breaking apart work in a way.

The `CoreInterface` logic is intended to build on `CoreIdentifier`
support. We have a number of additional interfaces that require
specialized logic, and that'll extend pretty far with C++ interop, so it
seemed easiest to have a generic function for it. That's what's
replacing the logic inside C++ interop that was doing string comparisons
(which could have already been moved to `CoreIdentifier`, I just missed
it in my first pass).

This adds `CustomWitness` support because the `Destroy` witnesses can be
imported cross-file. `CustomWitness` was previously only used for C++
types, which don't yet support import, which is why that wasn't
previously an issue. The addition of `query_specific_interface_id` is
similarly needed in order to get correct sorting of witness blocks when
imported.

This PR also removes builtin constraint logic (note this is in a
separate commit to help review; it's not a separate PR because it's
difficult to split apart without tests breaking). This had been made
generic with the expectation that destroy, copy, move, and conversions
would all need related support. Under the new decision, we are not going
to do blanket impls and will instead just manufacture a `CustomWitness`
for everything.

A lot of SemIR fingerprints change, but that's probably because the
addition of `Destroy` on core classes is yielding structural changes.

Özgür a4b5ab9df9 Reject unqualified private access to base members (#6521)
### Description
Currently, unqualified access to private members of the base class
compiles without error. This is due to `LookupUnqualifiedName` calling
`LookupQualifiedName` internally with `access_info` parameter set to
`std::nullopt`. This causes `IsAccessProhibited` to return `false`
immediately.
This PR fixes this issue.

### Changes
- Added a check where if the `access_info` is null and the current scope
we are looking is an extended scope (parent), initializes the
`access_info` with `highest_allowed_access` set to `Protected`.

buried in the checksum changes,
`toolchain/check/testdata/package_expr/fail_not_found.carbon`:

```
-  // CHECK:STDERR: fail_not_found.carbon:[[@LINE+4]]:16: error: member name `x` not found in `package` [MemberNameNotFoundInInstScope]
+  // CHECK:STDERR: fail_not_found.carbon:[[@LINE+4]]:16: error: member name `x` not found in `Main` [MemberNameNotFoundInInstScope]
```

for:

```
  // CHECK:STDERR:   var y: i32 = package.x;
  // CHECK:STDERR:                ^~~~~~~~~
```

I'll leave it to you if you prefer this; the alternative I see is to
just rename `IsCorePackage` to `IsImportedCorePackage`, and/or change it
to a helper that takes a `Context` and does the right thing with
`parse_tree` (which, I need for `Destroy`-related reasons and was my
default approach).

This turns `Cpp` into a keyword, and makes it map to `NameId::Cpp` and

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.

This does some cleanup of types with relation to singletons. For
`TypeType` and `ErrorInst`, they're always complete due to a
`SetComplete` call in `file.cpp`. For `CppVoidType`, it's intended to be
incomplete by construction, and so a `TypeId` should be okay. The intent
though on not generally providing these had been that `GetSingletonType`
needs to be called to get a type to be marked as complete.

In the case of `AutoType`, removing `TypeId`does change a small printing
detail. I think that's old legacy that's just been carried forward.

Otherwise, for both `InstType` and `AutoType`, I've added
`GetSingletonType` calls where they were used in order to ensure
completeness is applied correctly. These calls cause small SemIR
permutations.

This causes `AutoType` to be seen by lowering, so I'm adding a
placeholder for it. Also merging two functions that look like they're
identical in intent -- not sure why they're separate.

Geoff Romer 0811d996e1 Finish renaming BindName and related insts. (#6281)
Resolves the TODO from #6235

Richard Smith 6011040481 Rework handling of C++ references. (#6268)
For now, map C++ reference types to const-qualified Carbon pointer types
rather than picking between a (non-const) pointer or a value type. This
fixes misbehavior in lowering for reference members in classes and
reference return types.

Update the special-case handling for references as function parameters
so that it continues to map const reference parameters to Carbon
pass-by-value, and unify the code paths for `self` parameters and other
parameters, which were mostly doing the same thing but had some subtle
differences.

Add references to the list of types that we can pass to and from C++
directly, without needing an additional layer of thunks.

Geoff Romer 09710d102f Separate binding insts for refs and values (#6235)
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.

Richard Smithandjosh11b b3c25ecfa2 Allow implicit conversion to a value expression to remove const. (#6253)
`const` doesn't mean much on the type of a value expression; it's valid
to remove it because we can't perform modifications to a const value
regardless.

We already allowed most of this, but only as part of adapter conversion
rather than in general, and we didn't previously allow it when the
source of the conversion was a reference expression.

Boaz Brickner 840562feb3 C++ Interop: Fix access calculation to handle private member of base classes correctly (#6238)
Always take into account both the lookup access specifier and the
declaration. When set, lookup access specifier takes precedence. When
not set, we have two use cases:
1. This is not a record member, so no access is specified at all. Treat
this as public.
2. This is a record member of a base class. Treat this as private.
[Reference](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/4b1d7827c07381610ad4fa7bd9d1a9659008b963/clang/include/clang/AST/DeclCXX.h#L1724).

Also, deduplicate access mapping between import and overload resolution.

Boaz Brickner a0ef7e7112 C++ Interop: Add test coverage for access control of static/instance data/function members (#6199)
This demonstrates two issues:
1. It seems like we wrongly treat private static data members the same
way we treat protected and allow access to them from within derived
classes member functions.
2. Calling instance member functions of a base C++ class using a derived
class as self (no implicit upcast) is not yet supported. This isn't
related to access control, but prevents us from testing some access
control use cases.
