Geoff Romer 0460f6b7ba Label VarStorage as var_storage instead of var (#7447)
This makes the textual format clearer and more self-explanatory, and
avoids ambiguity about whether this inst refers to the storage or the
pattern.

Geoff RomerandRichard Smith e023f75254 Implement thunking in terms of constant evaluation (#7332)
The bulk of this change is changing most pattern insts to be `Always`
rather than `AlwaysUnique` constants, so that they can be wrapped in
`SpecificConstant`s to perform substitution. That then lets thunking
rely much more on `SpecificConstant` wrappers instead of deep-copying
the inst tree with modified types.

This approach to thunking should scale better, particularly as things
like form generics make function signatures more complex, because we can
leverage the existing support for constant evaluation and substitution.
Unfortunately, applying this approach to binding patterns will require
more work; see the TODO near the top of `thunk.cpp` for details.

Richard Smith cefa0397bb More fixes to package and library fingerprinting. (#7297)
Fix import logic to make all imported packages be children of the
`NameScopeId::Package` scope. Previously, indirectly-imported packages
would end up as children of their importing package's scope, which
resulted in them not being treated as packages at all, and in particular
not being fingerprinted as packages.

Fixing that caused a failure in the fingerprinting logic as we started
to encounter packages with no correspoding import scopes. Instead of
looking for import scopes, use a simpler mechanism to map packages to
their package names, and clean up.

Unfortunately the latter change churns all the fingerprints again :(
Hopefully this is the last time for a while.

Richard Smith f5e9c61f11 Don't include the library name in most fingerprints. (#7292)
When we import from another library in the same package, its entities
end up with our library as their parent scope, resulting in cross-file
fingerprint mismatches. Instead, only include the library ID when
fingerprinting either a package-private entity or an `ImportIRId` that
refers to a particular `SemIR::File`.

Richard Smith 05cc09daca Fix cross-package signature mismatches. (#7232)
Fixes link failures when referencing a symbol involving a fingerprint
from a different package.

Previously we included the `Namespace`'s `import_id` as part of its
fingerprint, which caused local and imported namespaces to get different
fingerprints. We now store the `import_id` on the `NameScope` instead of
on the `Namespace` inst to avoid this problem.

Also, when we reach a package-level `NameScopeId`, consistently
fingerprint it as a (package name, library name) pair. Previously the
fingerprinting depended on whether it was imported or not, as an
imported `NameScopeId` had a parent scope (the current package). We need
to include the library name here so that private entities with the same
name in different libraries have different fingerprints.

Richard Smith dd7cfdb149 Relax alias restrictions. (#7190)
Implement the alias rules from proposal #5389, wherein an alias is
permitted so long as the target has a constant value. While that
proposal is not yet accepted, this seems like a reasonable basis for
further iteration, and will be useful for the examples we're currently
pursuing.

Dana Jansens f8dd4d85bf Do not treat impls in different scopes as redeclarations (#7161)
An impl in a different scope, with the same parameters, will overlap and
get diagnosed for that later by the [prioritization
rule](https://docs.carbon-lang.dev/docs/design/generics/details.html#prioritization-rule),
if they are not in a match_first block. But they are not considered as
redeclarations.

See [proposal

Dana Jansens cea52ad2d8 Format the InterfaceWithSelf and NamedConstraintWithSelf generic name with its ".WithSelf" suffix (#6798)
We used the ".WithSelf" suffix when formatting a parent scope, but
missed the suffix when formatting the scope name on its own.

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 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.

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

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.

Jon Ross-Perkins 47e551141f Change the package namespace to use the package name (#6495)
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).

Richard Smith 154e4012c4 Include the parent scope when fingerprinting an entity name. (#6473)

for a lot of tests.

Dana Jansens 5ae5170421 Allow deduction of tuple and struct literals as symbolic generic facet types (#6365)
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`.

2025-10-28 17:17:38 +00:00
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.

Dana Jansens 93b79f159e Change InstId dumping to hex numbers that include the tag (#6175)
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.

Jon Ross-Perkins 47081be67a Reduce test sensitivity to small import loc changes (#6145)
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.

Jon Ross-Perkins 49ba8cf3e1 Switch class to use a blanket impl for Destroy (#6125)
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.

Dana JansensandRichard Smith 82679e6689 Make BindSymbolicName the canonical form of a FacetValue wrapping the BindSymbolicName (#6107)
If a `BindSymbolicName` is converted to `type` and then to its exact
`FacetType`, we get a `FacetValue` wrapping the `BindSymbolicName` but
providing no different information: it has the same witnesses and
`FacetType` as the original `BindSymbolicName`. Yet it is a different
constant value, creating multiple canonical forms with the same meaning.
Now we make that `FacetValue` with the same `FacetType` as the
`BindSymbolicName` it wraps evaluate back to the `BindSymbolicName`,
making it the unique canonical form.

This makes the "shortcut" in convert for avoiding impl lookup when
converting from `FacetAccessType` to `FacetType` in this exact scenario
work the same as doing the full impl lookup.

Jon Ross-PerkinsandDana Jansens 5e3bb523f8 Add builtin functions for destroy, with special requirements in facet types (#6035)
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.

Richard Smith d60900cbeb Remove special case for returning value expressions by copy (#6052)
When returning a value from a function whose return type has a by-copy
initializing representation, perform initialization like we do when the
return type has an in-place initializing representation. This makes our
SemIR representation more uniform, as the return expression will now
always be an initializing expression rather than a value expression, but
more importantly it means that attempts to return a non-copyable type by
value now fail, even if the type has a by-copy initializing
representation.

This catches a bunch of places where we were returning a value of an
unconstrained template parameter `T:! type`, which we were incorrectly
allowing because we didn't notice it was not copyable. Unfortunately
this then requires quite a few test updates.

Like #6034, this exposes a lowering issue where lowering crashes when
attempting to lower a specific copy operation for certain types; a
couple more tests are temporarily disabled here. An upcoming PR
dependent on this one will fix the issue and re-enable those tests.
2025-09-12 00:13:33 +00:00
Richard SmithandGeoff Romer 1ec8ac7ef9 Add Copy interface and use it for making copies. (#6034)
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.

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.
