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.
- 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.

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.

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`).

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.
This shifts logic a little so that empty top-level scopes are printed
less often. This affects imports mainly for now, but should be expected
to affect the soon-to-be-added generated scope more significantly.

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.
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.

The general strategy here is to import the constructor with a signature
that directly matches the argument. The intent is that the imported
function will eventually be usable directly as the `ImplicitAs.Convert`
function in a generated `impl`.
For initialization from a tuple, for example `(1, 2)`, we import the
selected constructor with a signature that takes a tuple pattern:
`fn Class.Class((a: i32, b: i32)) -> Class;`
In order to support that, this PR also adds support in general for tuple
patterns in function signatures. It turns out the implementation was
already very close to allowing this.

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.
See the review of
[#6532](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/pull/6532) and
[this Discord
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/999638000126394370/1458268977020141589)
for additional background.
This adds the necessary parser infrastructure to recognize and parse
lambda expressions in Carbon.
Key changes:
- Added and Parse Node Kinds.
- Updated to use to accommodate the growing number of node kinds.
- Implemented parser states and handlers for lambda syntax ( or ).
- Added structure to .
- Added diagnostics for missing lambda bodies.
- Added a stub in phase to defer semantic analysis using .
- Added parser tests for lambdas.
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.
This approach is more robust because there's no intermediate state where
the `ParamPattern` insts have been created, but don't yet have their
final values.
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.
Instead of naming the root namespace `package` (because it's accessed by
the `package` keyword), change it to use the current package name. Note,
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 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).
This is a prerequisite for support for interop with C++ template names.
No behavior change here, except that it sadly changes the fingerprinting
for a lot of tests.
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`.
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.
When deducing arguments for generic parameters of an `impl`, the
deduction calls `Convert` on the input arguments. Often, the input
argument is a facet, and needs to be converted to a type via
FacetAccessType in order to produce a different facet. These
instructions end up being added to the semir, but only their constant
values are needed for the resulting specific returned from Deduce.
In the best case, these extra instructions are just noise in the semir,
or they just cause instruction names to get differentiated with larger
suffixes.
In the worst case, these extra instructions contain references to
instructions from a generic context, and leak them out of that generic
context and into another. In particular, when importing a
LookupImplWitness instruction, the re-evaluation of it can do deduce
(when the lookup is against a generic `impl`). The instructions created
in Deduce are not part of the import, and end up referring to imported
instructions from the local context, which leads to confusion in the
toolchain, and can crash.
The `import_self_specific.carbon` test demonstrates this. It causes the
`I.F` function to be imported from the `I` interface when building the
witness table for the `impl`. Doing so imports the specific of `C` which
includes a LookupImplWitness for `Self.Accoc` in `I`. The `Self` is a
BindSymbolicName with generic binding index 0, in `I`. When Convert
creates instructions in the generic `impl forall D`, however, they end
up referencing and including this BindSymbolicName into its eval block.
But the generic binding 0 in the `impl` is a very different thing (a
value of type `E`). This confusion leads to crashes.
This change makes dumping and debugging work again with InstIds that are
now tagged with the CheckIRId. The textual representation of an InstId
is changed from `irN.instM` back to `instM` but the `M` is now a hex
value with the tag as part of it, which is the same number that is
physically in the `InstId::index` field. This prevents any cases where
we would potentially print incorrect values for large InstIds.
We teach the `dump` command in lldb to parse hex values for InstId so
that we can paste these numbers back into the debugger.
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)`.
This also does a little restructuring in the same direction, following
#6124.
Leads want `Destroy` to work similarly now for all types. As a
consequence, there doesn't seem to be as much benefit to splitting off
aggregate destruction. In this PR, the `type.destroy` function can now
be expected to destroy anything that's destructible; that means it'll be
usable for the `final fn` once that support is available.
Similarly, this gets rid of the impls other than the single blanket
impl, now using `type.can_destroy`. Since they all need to use the same
function, there's no benefit to splitting approaches. Also, now it can
just be a `final impl` since there should be no need for people to
create specializations -- if this blanket impl applies, it means the
`final fn` is the same.
This also slips in `partial` support since there's no reason to have it
diverge anymore. Also `abstract`, which I'm not sure is broadly testable
since most cases it'd come up, the `abstract` keyword is explicitly
detected/rejected.
Note though that this doesn't make any really big changes. It's just
realigning on the leads decision. I'm going this way to try to reduce
name-related churn for other changes.
Locations are similarly fragile, because adding a comment changes them.
This has made me pause when making prelude changes in #6144, so dropping
them for those cases.
Instruction ids aren't actually that interesting outside debugging, and
can be churny when doing other structural changes. I've seen this in
particular when doing singleton changes, which bump every instruction
id.
Note there are still other ways fragility from locations can crop up.
This shouldn't be considered a complete fix, but hopefully a small
improvement.
Right now, the class destroy impl is incorrectly generated (first
discussed [in
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/655572317891461132/941071822756143115/1418614787449032826)).
If we want it to be correct, deferred definition logic would need to be
added, and the declaration would need to be moved inside the `class`
scope (along with whatever generic logic that needs).
This instead switches to a blanket impl, to avoid creating latent bugs
with generating the `impl` and function body in the wrong scope. This
approach uses the same blanket impl as aggregate destruction that was
added by #6098.
The intent here is to allow progress on other parts of `Destroy`. For
example, under this model the implementation of the function body could
be done as part of lowering the specific.
This is in support of a goal of changing the blanket `destroy` impl to
use (roughly):
```
private fn CanAggregateDestroy() -> type = "type.can_aggregate_destroy";
// Handles aggregate type destruction.
impl forall [AggregateDestroyT:! CanAggregateDestroy()] AggregateDestroyT as Destroy {
fn Op[addr self: Self*]() = "type.aggregate_destroy";
}
```
That isn't done here because there's still other issues that migrating
raises. What this *does* do is add the builtin functions, and in
particular, support to `FacetTypeInfo` to make `CanAggregateDestroy`
work.
The "special requirement" approach in `FacetTypeInfo` allows us to
support restricting a blanket impl under the current approach of impls.
Maybe we'll find a cleaner approach that can work in the future, but
this fits into the current model by propagating similar to other
requirements. I'm using an enum mask because we have a number of similar
things to add (e.g. copy, move) but I'm not sure we need a full vector.
A few alternatives considered were:
- Supporting syntax more like `where .Self impls
TypeCanAggregateDestroy(.Self, SupportedInterface,
UnsupportedInterface)`. I think it'd be a little cleaner, but requires
better compile-time evaluation in order to assess the type of the call.
Right now it's expected to be a `FacetType` too early to make this work,
and I was concerned about pouring too much more time down this route.
- Providing an actual interface, in particular doing name lookup back
into `Core.` for an interface. This would've added name lookup overhead,
and the question of whether an `impl` exists.
- Generating an interface. This avoids the name lookup, but would still
raise the question of whether an `impl` should also be generated. Work
I've previously done generating interfaces for class destruction also
feels complex to both write and understand (an unfortunate issue).
- Still modeling as an `ImplsConstraint`, for example by defining a
special `InterfaceId::CanAggregateDestroy = -2` similar to what we do on
other ids. I was hesitant because of how this expands the number of
modes of `InterfaceId`, and things for consuming code to watch out for,
for what feels like a relatively niche set of use-cases that are only
interface-like.

Instead of hardcoding which types are copyable, add a `Core.Copy`
interface to perform copying. Move almost all the current copy support
to that interface. Some remaining pieces are still using builtin logic
after this PR:
* For tuples and structs, builtin logic is used to perform elementwise
copies. This also supports copying *adapters of* tuples and structs,
which seems like it may not be desirable, especially for non-extending
adapters. A `Copy` impl is provided for tuples of at most 2 elements, so
that `Core.Copy` constraints are satisfied, but we can't implement this
generally until we have variadics support, and don't yet have a
mechanism to generalize this to structs.
* For `enum` types imported from C++, builtin logic is used to perform a
copy. This is temporary until we have a mechanism to identify these
types from an impl in the prelude.
One lowering test in `toolchain/lower/testdata/class/generic.carbon` is
disabled for now, as it causes a crash in the lowering code due to an
ABI mismatch between the call signature in the lowered declaration of a
specific function and the call that is generated in the specific callee.
Fixing this is a little involved, and will be done in a separate PR.

This uses each vector's size as a barrier between lists, to eliminate
the possibility of incidental collisions between entries of different
lists. This is the same as is done inside `AddBlock`.
Attach the cleanup to the `Temporary` instruction instead of to the
`TemporaryStorage` instruction. We create `TemporaryStorage`
instructions speculatively when creating an initializing expression, and
may overwrite those instructions with other instructions if it turns out
that a temporary is not required. Instead, wait until we finalize the
temporary and create a `Temporary` instruction to register the cleanup.
The self access is important; for the test `generic_class.carbon` being
added to `toolchain/check/testdata/class/destroy_calls.carbon`, it was
using `%T.as.Destroy` instead of `%D.as.Destroy`, indicating the default
blank impl was being used instead of the type-specific version. That
test is trying to focus on the issue, but the delta is visible in a
couple other files in this PR, for example
`toolchain/check/testdata/class/generic/init.carbon`.
I'm separately working on getting rid of the default impl, which is how
I noticed this.
I was thinking about this for destruction, which I may not be able to
use it for, but still think this may be a good change to keep features
consistent.
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.

Although this focused on `Destroy` support, some choices here around
`implicit_type_impls` are because copy/move will likely follow a similar
approach. I'm trying not to predict too much about how we'll structure
those, but I'm putting `Destroy` impl logic in a file that could perhaps
be shared with those. They'd likely be interested in similar things,
e.g. traversing members of types (particularly class, struct literal,
tuple literal).
At present this sets the destroy function as `no_op` which is consistent
with current logic, but has a TODO to correctly define.
Constant importing for functions changes slightly due to some issues I
was having with `GetFunctionType`. zygoloid suggested this approach to
avoid `EvalInst` logic.
Adds a flag for controlling whether to generating these impls. While
this does generation for `class`, as noted above this'll also need to be
done for tuples and struct literals, which would leave the `none.carbon`
min_prelude unable to use any types. Note if destruction *would* occur,
it'll still look up `Core.Destroy` for that and fail, but that's already
true of any test using `none.carbon`. I'm trying to use the flag to see
if we can keep `none.carbon` working mostly-consistently.
I'd tried separating out the flag to #5852, but that got a lot of
pushback over whether the behavior was appropriate. I'm hoping that the
interactions here make it clearer why the particular approach -- the
goal is not to enable advanced testing, or create some new end-user
behavior that we really support, it's just to keep no-prelude tests
functional. The main question raised there was why not just keep
generating `impl T as Core.Destroy` if `fn destroy` is present -- but I
think here it should be apparent that would require additional
complexity, as the generation of `impl T as Core.Destroy` is not
currently conditioned based on the implementation of `fn destroy`. I'd
rather add complexity to this flag only if it's enabling interesting
test functionality.

Iterate over arrays by producing their elements in the obvious way. We
use `i32` as the cursor type because that's the type that check converts
array indexes to. This may need revisiting if we support arrays with
more than 2Bi elements.
Also includes a fix for an import crash bug that's triggered by this
change, borrowed from #5873.
Change impls from `<interface>.impl` to `<self>.as.<interface>.impl`,
and *member* functions to `<parent scope>.<fn>` (non-member functions
exclude their parent scope). Stop special-casing builtin functions,
given the new naming scheme.
The purpose of this is to make it clearer when a member function is
being accessed and, if so, which member function. In particular, we
often access interface `Op` functions. The builtin function
special-casing was intended to help with that, but we still have lots of
`Op` functions. This particular approach should make the interactions
clearer.
This changes up queueing of block IDs a little because, in particular,
we need to process bodies of entities only after constants finish
processing. But, it should also result in less memory usage during
processing because it means we have less on the insts stack at any given
time, since we track a block rather than all instructions contained by
the block.
