This enables thunking to work when the function has `ref` parameters,
without jumping through hoops to add `ref` tags in the desugared
function body.
This also renames `is_operator_syntax` to `is_desugared`, which is more
general and more accurate.
See

for the design doc.
This also removes the default value of the `result_type_inst_id`
parameter of `HandleAction`, moves it before the action in the parameter
list, and documents it. This solves two problems:
- The default made it easy to forget, leading to unnecessary
`TypeOfInst` instructions.
- When it was present, putting it after the fairly "bulky" action
argument tended to make the callsite harder to read.
When an initializing expression is used to initialize a var parameter,
we need to create the storage earlier in SemIR than the initializing
expression. To do so, pass a pending block to initialization containing
the var storage.
Also stop using `temporary` for this purpose, since we treat temporaries
as potentially-constant and immutable, but `var` parameters can be
mutated by the callee. We should ideally introduce a new kind of
instruction for this purpose but for now we just use `var_storage`.
- A function with a return declaration always has exactly one
`ReturnSlotPattern`, representing the whole return declaration (whereas
previously that was omitted for value and reference returns).
- The `ReturnSlotPattern` always has a subpattern with the same form.
`OutParamPattern` already plays that role for initializing forms, and
`TuplePattern` will play that role for tuple forms. This change
introduces `ValueReturnPattern` and `RefReturnPattern` to represent
value and reference return forms.
- As before, the `ReturnSlotPattern` has a corresponding `ReturnSlot`
that represents the output that is initialized by a `return` statement.
Its structure parallels the structure of the `ReturnSlotPattern`, so we
need `ValueReturn` and `RefReturn` insts that correspond to
`ValueReturnPattern` and `RefReturnPattern`.
This is a step toward supporting generic return forms, where the
`ReturnSlotPattern`'s subpattern may be an action: this change ensures
that evaluating the action for a specific form produces the same SemIR
as if the form were concrete to begin with. More speculatively, this
should simplify the implementation of `return` statements with compound
return forms.

- Rename `ActionIsDependent` to `ActionIsPerformable` (with negated
meaning), because that name is more concrete and, um, actionable.
- Replace `OperandIsDependent` with `OperandDependence`, which returns a
`ConstantDependence` instead of a bool. We need this additional
generality for handling form actions, where we sometimes need to ask
whether something has _any_ dependence, not just whether it has template
dependence.
Instead of allowing lower to pick whatever type layout it desires,
compute the layouts of types as part of completing the type, and make
lower build types that match that representation.
For now we assume that all pointers are 64-bit, since we don't have
access to target information. We allow tail padding reuse for structs
and tuple types (and by extension, for classes, since they use structs
as their object representation), but not for arrays.
In order to build matching LLVM types, we create LLVM packed structs
where necessary, and we insert inter-field padding on the end of the
previous field so that GEP indexes still always match Carbon's
ElementIndexes.
We don't yet use the computed alignment much in LLVM IR generation -- in
particular, `alloca`s, `load`s, and `store`s should probably use the
computed type alignment, but don't.

Fix some situations where we'd drop the storage argument when building
an in-place initializing expression. We now guarantee that an expression
with the in-place initializing category always has a storage argument.
Instead of recursing back into Convert, make CppThunkRef conversion just
add an extra step to category conversion, performing a copy conversion
followed by an ephemeral reference binding conversion.
Remove special-case handling in conversion logic for C++ enum types,
synthesize a custom witness of `Core.Copy` using the `primitive_copy`
builtin function.
Add `InstIs`, `GetInstAs`, and `TryGetInstAs` which act on the
underlying constant instruction in a constant value, to save an explicit
call to `GetInstId`.
```carbon
context.insts().GetAs<InstT>(context.constant_values().GetInstId(const_id))
```
can now be written as simply
```carbon
context.constant_values().GetInstAs<InstT>(const_id)
```
For future work, we might provide `GetInst()` so that
`context.insts().Get(context.constant_values().GetInstId(const_id)` can
be shortened also.
Performing a lookup against `Self` inside the definition of the named
constraint leads to cycles, as described in the document [Self
contradictions in Named
Constraints](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17rn2XmME8o2MM4OJqatSVuMa1iYZ1PAgcNrf0PXR9Q4/edit?tab=t.0).
To prevent those cycles, this change introduces a large refactoring of
impl lookup.
The impl lookup done inside eval is reduced to only performing
monomorphization. That is it:
- Only looks for an provides final witnesses.
- Is not allowed to identify the facet type of the query self.
- Returns either a final witness or None (or an error)
The paths for finding non-final witnesses are now done outside of eval,
directly in the initial `LookupImplWitness()` function. If no final
witness it found through eval, the resulting non-final
`LookupImplWitness` instruction witness is returned. It does not produce
cycles to identify the facet type of query self outside of eval, since
that does not result in repeating the identification when resolving
specifics of the named constraint or require decl.
Move the ArrayStack for Context::require_impls_stack into a new class
which tracks a NamedConstraintId (or InterfaceId) for each frame of
RequireImplsIds, so that in type completion we always can find the
correct frame for a given named constraint which is still being defined,
in order to find the RequireImplsIds in the in-progress definition.
This follows up on a discussion about wanting to use `Any*` inst
clusters to handle boilerplate construction, with the issue that
`UncheckedLoc` use removes validation. Some context is at
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/6930#discussion_r2963157428.
This folds in `MakeImportedLocIdAndInst` because the logic is related,
particularly for `LocId` values which are `ImportIRInstId`, and it
eliminates questions of what the right function is to use.
This uncovers an error in the `NodeKind` associated with
`FormBindingPattern`. For now I'm just adding a TODO regarding that.

This resolves some todos, and makes `Convert` safer to call, which
unblocks some changes in pattern matching that I'm working on.

Previously we forced a temporary materialization, resulting in it being
treated as an ephemeral reference expression. This change allows
```carbon
var x: Class = {} as Class;
```
even when `Class` is not copyable.
Treat the initial sequence ofarguments in a call to a C++ function up to
and including the last argument that is a type or template as being the
explicit template arguments for the call, rather than rejecting them
because they can't be converted to the parameter types.
Implements the current direction on leads issue #6768, except that no
syntax for explicitly annotating an argument as being a template
argument is provided.

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.
Stop using "performed builtin conversion" as a proxy for whether we
created an initializing expression with a correctly-set storage
argument. That isn't correct in the case where the builtin conversion
creates a new initializing expression without setting its storage, such
as by creating an `AsCompatible` wrapper around an existing initializing
expression.
Instead look at whether the storage argument is a `TemporaryStorage`,
and only overwrite in that case, otherwise assuming that the storage
argument has been set correctly.
This fixes a miscompile that was already visible in our lowering tests!
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.
While convert has the option to avoid diagnostics, when that flag is
false, ErrorInst results must also produce a diagnostic. Otherwise we
end up with errors in the semir but not error provided to the user.
The new diagnostics reveal that a number of tests for abstract types
were passing incorrectly. They had errors in the semir but no
diagnostics. A TODO is added in convert to allow an abstract conversion
target type when not initializing.
This is needed to model things like the category of `x` in the body of
`fn Foo(F:! Core.Form, x:? F)`, where the category of `x` is determined
by the concrete value of `F` (see #5389 for the design of `:?`
bindings).
This will be used in a follow-up PR.
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.
See #6588 and the review history of this PR for background.

Identifying a facet type takes both a self and facet type as a pair, and
then encode the self into the IdentifiedFacetType. This makes a
constraint that requires some _other_ type implements an interface
visible in the IdentifiedFacetType. And it will help to enable facet
types with `where T impls Z` for `T` that is not `.Self` in the future.
IdentifiedFacetTypes are now stored in a CanonicalValueStore instead of
a RelationalValueStore as they key is the combination of self and
(declared) facet type together now.
When the self-type is a facet value (has type FacetType) this is most
straightforward. But when it's a type we need to construct a FacetValue
to construct a specific for a require decl, to replace the generic
binding of the symbolic `Self`, which has type FacetType. To do so, we
make a FacetValue with an empty FacetType (equivalent to TypeType). This
prevents any looking for witnesses through the FacetType, which matches
what you can get from a type directly, requiring witnesses to come from
finding an `impl` decl.
Add additional InstNamer logic for such empty facet types so they print
as `<typename>.type.facet` if possible instead of as just `facet_value`.
Also clarify and enforce that `ConversionTarget::init_id` is used only
as storage for in-place initialization, and correspondingly rename it to
`storage_id`.
`ReturnTypeInfo` is built around the assumption that a function call
results in exactly one initializing expression, but with `ref` returns
there may be zero, and in the future composite return forms will enable
there to be more than one. This change removes some usages of
`ReturnTypeInfo`, and restructures the calling code to be prepared for
multiple initializing returns.
Adds Inst::IsOneOf which takes a variadic generic parameter pack of
kinds to check against. Also add forwarding functions to TypeStore and
InstStore. Convert uses of the regex `Is<.*\|\|` to IsOneOf.
This is based on #6522
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.
The fallthrough-based approach was unwieldy and error-prone, and
inherently couldn't support category conversions whose steps don't
follow the fixed order of the `switch` statement.
I'm doing this because I figured it'd be an incremental improvement for
all the operator lookups that we do. Even to the extent that we've
discussed witness caching, I think it'll still apply. It does add one
more step to adding new interfaces (before, you'd just write the string,
now you add it to the def file and reference it).
I'll claim it makes GetClangOperatorKind a lot friendlier to read/edit,
nevermind removing the string comparisons. :)
This separates the return type from the return pattern, and replaces the
return pattern with a block of return patterns. This is a step toward
support for `ref` returns (where there's no corresponding return
pattern) and compund-form returns (where there may be multiple return
patterns).
Avoid using a large switch that needs to be manually extended when
adding a new kind of instruction. Instead, the expression category for
an instruction is now specified when defining the `InstKind`.
In passing, add a distinct expression category value for patterns. This
isn't used for much except some error checking at the moment, but it
keeps the number of instructions that we need to manually classify as
`NotExpr` despite having a type very low.
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`.
If the value representation of `T` is a copy representation, but it
copies all of the bits of `T`'s object representation, then it's OK to
use that as the value representation of `MaybeUnformed(T)` too.
This fixes the behavior of interop with nullable pointers, which are
represented as an adapter of `MaybeUnformed(T*)`, and need to be passed
to and returned from functions on the Carbon / C++ boundary as `T*`s.
As a byproduct, the only test that exercised the "address of a temporary
object" diagnostic now trigers the "address of a non-reference
expression" diagnostic. We could restore it by using a type that doesn't
support `value_of_initializer`, but it seems better to remove the
diagnostic altogether: not only does it simplify the code, I'd also
argue "non-reference expression" is more accurate as a user-facing
description of the operand.
#6289 absentmindedly added fields in more places, and this is undoing
that plus further fixes.
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.

`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.

The SymbolicBindingType refers to the type value that will be
substituted in for the BindSymbolicName, but holds onto the EntityNameId
from the BindSymbolicName instead of (or in addition to, for now) the
instruction.
The EntityNameId will be used to look in the ScopeStack to find the
witnesses either from the BindSymbolicName instruction, or other
instructions that specify `impls` constraints against the EntityName.
This will allow us to have the `T` in `I(T)` resolve to a `.Self`
reference in the type so that we get type equality with the binding's
type: `T:! I(.Self)`.
Previously it performed two kinds of operations, with a boolean
parameter to control whether it would unwrap FacetValue or not. This
made the function hard to explain as "canonicalization".
Now the contract of GetCanonicalFacetOrTypeValue is as follows:
1. For a facet value expression, it returns the canonical value of the
facet value.
2. For a `<facet value> as type` it returns the canonical value of the
`<facet value>`.
3. For other type expressions, it returns the canonical value of the
type.
1 and 2 together collapse together two representations of a facet value
(as a FacetType or as a TypeType) into a single canonical value, which
is important for constant comparison of facet values where the `as type`
is not meant to change the result. This is the case in impl lookups and
`.Self` comparisons.
The step of unwrapping `FacetValue` is only useful in the constant
evaluation of `LookupImplWitness` and is used to collapse *symbolic*
queries on `FacetValue(T)` and on `T` down to a single canonical value,
since they produce the same result later when `T` is replaced with a
facet value or type that can provide a concrete witness. This is now
extensively documented in the constant evaluation of
`LookupImplWitness`.
This change came out of a request/discussion in #6115 (see comment
https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/6115#discussion_r2383696576).
