Instead of ad-hoc conversion tracking on some kinds of nodes that
conversion creates, consolidate tracking into a single node kind. This
frees up an operand on `Init` instructions that can be used to store the
destination.
Add a `NameId` that is effectively just a wrapper around a `StringId`,
with
some additional predefined values for names that don't correspond to
strings, such as the name of `self` or the function's return slot.
This replaces the use of `VarStorage` in this case.
Add an `UnboundFieldType` type as the type of a field, in cases where
it's referenced without an accompanying object.
Add a `BindName` node to describe the name binding performed for both
variables and fields so that we can handle them more uniformly.
Incomplete types may be nested within other types; for example, a tuple
type might have an incomplete type as an element. Handle such cases by
walking through nested incomplete types when completing a type. This is
done non-recursively in case a very complex type is formed.
Types are generally no longer completed at the point where they're
formed. Instead, we attempt to complete a type when it is used in a
context that requires a complete type, and diagnose if the type cannot
be completed at that point. This will be necessary for classes, which
can become complete after their first use, and helps tease out bugs
where a type completeness check is missing.
Track the callee expression in full, instead of only tracking the
callee's FunctionId. This results in the `name_reference` denoting the
function actually being used.
Lowering now propagates a `llvm::Function*` as the value associated with
expressions of type `<function>`.
We were not creating `NameReference` node for names produced by member
access into a namespace, such as the second name in
`Namespace.Function`, which caused lowering of calls to such names to
fail. This is now fixed, but the resulting `NameReference` node only
refers to the name and the lookup result, not to the `Namespace.`
qualifier. We'll need to decide how to fit a third operand into that
node (perhaps we can stop storing the `name_id`, since it can be derived
from the lookup result) but for now the qualifier is not tracked.
Bug found by fuzzing. Problem was untyped SemIR nodes had an invalid
type id, which was retrieved by `HandlePrefixOperator` and then passed
to `context.GetUnqualifiedType`, ultimately performing an invalid access
in `semantics_ir_->GetNode`.
We prefer to make a placeholder type for functions and namespaces to
remove the need for checking for the untyped case everywhere. Eventually
functions will have their own types, but this approach will be needed
for namespaces (and perhaps other non-first-class entities like unbound
methods and interface members) long term.

Also add `name_reference_untyped` for references to non-first-class
names without types, which currently covers namespaces and functions.
This improves the fidelity of the SemIR representation, and fixes some
issues where we would use the wrong location for nodes and diagnostics
downstream of a name reference.
We're still missing a representation for dotted name expressions, such
as `Namespace.Function`, and we don't use the `untyped` node as an
operand of any other node yet.
Fix a bug where we would perform the computation of the return location
in SemIR after we have already used it in some cases, leading to
assertion failures during lowering. Instead, accumulate a sequence of
instructions to compute the return location in a temporary block, and
overwrite the return slot with those instructions when we perform
initialization.
StubReference is replaced by a more general SpliceBlock node, that takes
a code block and a result value, executes the instructions in the block,
and produces the result. This is used in the uncommon case where more
than one instruction is required to compute the return slot, which can
happen if we need to first emit a temporary and then index into it, or
if we need to perform multiple levels of indexing before we reach an
entity to initialize.
Factor out the common code to find the return slot for an initializing
expression, and use it to simplify the two different ways we finalize
initializers, as either initializing a temporary or initializing some
specific object.
This slightly changes the SemIR we create for function calls: instead of
rewriting the Call node to have a different destination and replacing
its temporary with a `no_op`, we now replace its temporary with a
`stub_reference` to the new destination. This results in the same amount
of SemIR being produced, but allows calls and other kinds of
initializers to be handled uniformly.
The speculative insertion of StubReferences after elements in an
argument list turned out to not be necessary, because we decided we want
to insert per-argument initialization steps after all arguments are
evaluated, rather than interleaving them. The StubReferences we insert
are causing some minor code complexity, so remove them.
We still create StubReferences when performing patch-ups of
already-emitted code, but we no longer ever need to look through them
when determining whether an initializer was a literal or when evaluating
a type expression.
Building on #3214 and #3215, updates sem_ir yaml to be:
```
- filename: name
sem_ir: [ ... ]
```
Also, changes the textual format from `package { ... }` to `file
<filename> { ... }`. My thought on packages there is:
```
file "foo.carbon" {
package MyPackage
...
}
```
The reason for putting the file first is that it's easier if we put what
we're grouping on first, whereas the package is an "annotation" on the
file.
This better reflects the purpose of these semantics nodes, and prepares
for adding TupleValue and TupleInit nodes to represent forming values
and initializers from literals.
Continuing along with #3070. Note this is just a file rename, with BUILD
edits; every file previously in semantics/ should show as moved (except
maybe BUILDs, which split).
