If the deduction fails while forming the parameter type, ensure that we
print an actual diagnostic saying what went wrong.
And always ensure that an invalid array bounds error points at a
location. The `inst_id` given to `EvalConstantInst` always has a
location, but the `bounds_id` instruction inside it may be canonical
when it's coming from inside a larger type. So when it is, fall back to
using the location of the whole array inst.
Depending on the order in which type completion identifies things in the
facet type, it may try to replace `.Self` with a facet that fails to
convert to the type of `.Self` due to a monomorphization error. We
should fail gracefully, not crash.
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.

Implements proposal #7016: `self` moves from the deduced implicit list
(`fn F[self: Self]()`) to the front of the explicit list. Its type may
be written explicitly (`fn F(self: Self)`) or omitted, in which case it
defaults to `Self` (`fn F(self)`, `fn F(ref self)`); `self` in the
implicit list is rejected.
Throughout checking, `self` is modeled as the first explicit parameter.
Because a method is just a function whose first parameter is `self`, it
can also be called as an ordinary function with the receiver passed
explicitly (`Type.M(obj, ...)`), not only as `obj.M(...)`. A new
`SemIR::CallArgParamPatterns` helper chooses the parameters matched
against the explicit arguments, excluding a leading `self` only when it
is supplied as a method-call receiver; arity checking, conversion, and
generic deduction use it. The resulting SemIR and lowering are
unchanged: `self` is still `call_param0`, and witnesses, thunks, and
vtables are unaffected.
An omitted `self` type is parsed as a `SelfBindingPattern` node with no
type expression; checking synthesizes the `Self` type so it behaves
exactly like `self: Self`. However, the exact spelling used must match
between a forward declaration and a definition, following #3763's rules
around declaration matching.
Generated functions, thunks, and C++ interop import/export build `self`
as the first explicit parameter, and the `self`-type override (e.g.
Derived->Base for a virtual override) applies to the explicit `self`.
Placement is validated by new diagnostics: `SelfInImplicitParamList`,
`SelfNotFirstParam`, and `SelfOutsideParamList`. The benchmark source
generator and the documentation adopt the `(self)` shorthand; the
prelude, the examples, and the test data are migrated in the following
commits.

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.
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`.
Pass a function's self specific in `ScopeStack::PushForFunctionBody` and
remove assertion preventing lexical scopes from having specific IDs.
This allows lexical lookup within the function to find entities
associated with its self specific.
Closes#6793
As suggested in [1], replace `FieldInitializerMap` with a `FieldStore`.
The corresponding `FieldId` is now stored in `FieldDecl`. To make room
for the `FieldId`, the `ElementIndex` is now stored in the `Field`,
along with the initializer.
In import_ref.cpp, resolving `FieldDecl` initializers is now supported,
and in convert.cpp `LoadImportRef` is called to do so. The
`field_initializer_import.carbon` test now passes.
Printing a `FieldDecl` instruction now prints the initializer as well,
if present. See field_initializer.carbon for an example.

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.
When a class extends an interface, referring to a member name of the
interface as an unqualified name should refer to the class's
corresponding associated entity value, not to the associated entity
itself. Similarly, in an `impl`, unqualified names of associated
entities should refer to the `impl`'s corresponding value for that
entity.
To support this, we treat `impl`s as `extend`ing their implemented facet
type, and we make lookups into an extended facet type use the `Self`
type of the extending `impl` or `class` if lookup finds an associated
entity. We already did the latter if the extending entity was an
interface; this extends the existing support for these other cases.
Class vars are still restricted to simple `name: type` bindings, not
full patterns. This is now handled in the check phase instead of during
parsing.
This is in preparation for supporting `static var`.
This lets us stop eliding it in textual semir tests with dump ranges.
Previously it would always get elided, even though it was part of the
range being dumped, and was referred to by other instructions in the
dump range.
Since each `.Self` is unique (can change its type if not its value) in a
facet type, having each one distinct by location also aids
understanding.
A `where` expression nested inside a `T impls X` constraint makes
`.Self` ambiguous on the right-hand side of the `where` if `T` is
anything other than `.Self`. After the `where`, the value of a `.Self`
could be `T` or could be the value of `.Self` before the `impls`
constraint: the so-called top-level value of `.Self`.
Implicit use of `.Self` in designators is always allowed, and they are
bound (and replaced by a reference) to the inner-most possible value of
`.Self`. On the right-hand side of the nested `where` above, they have
the value `T as X`.
`.Self impls ...` is also always allowed, since it acts more as a
keyword here, and it always refers to the inner-most possible value of
`.Self`.
Any other explicit use of `.Self` is diagnosed when ambiguous, in any
kind of constraint. This is done in the handling of `WhereExpr` since it
has enough context to allow `.Self impls` (which is an explicit use)
while disallowing other explicit uses. And because it has non-canonical
instructions to work with, so it is able to diagnose errors with precise
locations.
Since `.Self` is no longer going to be marked with depth modifiers, the
eval of `WhereExpr` does not need an input facet value instruction
representing `.Self` to compare with, as they are now going to all be
equivalent. So revert it back to just looking for the `PeriodSelf` name
id, through a shared helper being introduced as `IsPeriodSelf`. And drop
the period self InstId from the `WhereExpr` instruction. This causes
most of the formatted SemIR changes.
Move helpers for working with and replacing `.Self` to their own file,
out of the `facet_type.h` header/cpp files. These are working with
`.Self` facet values more than facet types, though `.Self` is a name
that only exists inside the scope of a facet type.
See
[here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rWcueFwIfZox6GKVGxiUG4cBzjrZ6djXiIDGyJDtrE4/edit?tab=t.0)
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`.
`DoVarPreWorkImpl` was provided an incorrect pattern type while trying
to match `var` parameters, which caused the toolchain to crash in
`Convert`. This commit changes `DoVarPreWorkImpl`'s API so it derives
the pattern type from the work item's pattern ID, rather than relying on
an external source.

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.

EvalOrAddInst has to create a non-canonical instruction for evaluating a
few typed insts, such as LookupImplWitness which uses an InstId to
provide a location for diagnostics.
But the output of the function is a ConstantId. We do not have access to
the non-canonical InstId after the function returns. But if the constant
value was symbolic, it was being attached to the inst, and the inst
would be added to the eval block of the enclosing generic. This
needlessly added semir for a symbolic value.
The ConstantId returned by EvalOrAddInst can be used immediately, such
as to evaluate an ImplWitnessAccess. In that case, the final evaluated
result is all we need to keep in semir.
If the ConstantId needs to be replaced by specifics, it is only as part
of some other instruction, since ConstantIds themselves are not modified
by specifics, instructions are. In that case, the canonical instruction
in the constant value would have been added to some other (now symbolic)
instruction, which would be replaced by a specific.
This has no functional change, but it reduces runtime overhead and semir
output for LookupImplWitness and ImplWitnessAccess.
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.
When a `var` is not explicitly given an initializer, initialize it in
one of two ways:
* If its type implements the new interface `Core.Default`, call
`Core.Default.Op` to initialize it.
* Otherwise, if its type implements `UnformedInit`, leave it in an
unformed state. For now, this is always an uninitialized state, but that
will change in the future.
* If neither of those apply, the `var` declaration is ill-formed.
This is a step towards implementing leads decision #6739 and proposals
#257 and #5913.

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.
The type of the query self is looked into for a witness, but that type
may be unable to be identified. For example when the query is against
`Self` inside the declaration of a named constraint. Before this PR, we
would crash when identification failed. Now we produce a diagnostic.
This makes `RequireIdentifiedFacetType` take a `ContextScope` callback
(like it used to with an `AnnotationScope` callback) since all callers
now expect to handle diagnostics, and can provide useful context.
This is a followup to #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.
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.
This is related to #6727, but is generally a necessary fix even without
that issue. I'm not adding a specific test of #6727 because it should
also be covered by the tests in #6726.

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.

For example, see toolchain/check/testdata/class/fail_incomplete.carbon
for the diagnostic changes. `IncompleteTypeInFunctionReturnType` should
remain, while the redundant `IncompleteTypeInFunctionParam` is removed.
Note I'm deliberately trying to validate the return type after other
parameters, because I think that's the better user experience. This does
also incrementally change IR.
Add a new builtin function `cpp.std.initializer_list.make` that takes an
array and returns a `std::initializer_list`, initialized to refer to
that array. When C++ initialization wants to perform a
`std::initializer_list`-from-array construction, synthesize a
declaration of a matching builtin function and use that to perform the
initialization.
Ideally we would specify this conversion as an impl of `ImplicitAs` in
the prelude instead of hardcoding it in the interop layer, but
unfortunately that's not currently possible, for various reasons -- we
can't make the conversion form-generic, we can't deduce the array length
from the initializer, and we can't deduce against the arguments of
imported C++ class templates yet -- so for now synthesizing a builtin
function on demand is the best we can do.

This gets us a step closer toward resolving TODOs in member access
around facets, by making the lookup into a facet value a "lookup in
base" operation instead of a "lookup in type of base". However the base
given to find scopes in still remains the facet type of the facet, which
is still a TODO.
Then we can simplify the "lookup in type of base" case a bit, with a
single code path doing the name lookup step. But we keep a TODO where if
the type of base is a facet, we change the lookup target to be the facet
type of the facet instead.
This is toward having name lookup into an interface that is extending a
named constraint work correctly with a `Self` in its specific. To
perform that name lookup, we will need to tell name lookup what is the
base, so that it can replace `Self` with the base. This change gets us
in a position where we can correctly provide the base in the `T.F()`
(lookup in facet) and `t.F()` (lookup in type of facet) correctly and
straightforwardly.
We provide a marginally improved diagnostic when looking into a facet
with an incomplete facet type, which will move into
AppendLookupScopesForConstant once we are looking into the facet
directly instead of its type.
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.
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`.
Not all functions have a return slot, and once we have composite forms,
functions will be able to have any number of return slots. Obtaining a
unique return slot for a function only makes sense in `returned var`
handling.
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.
