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`.
The `unused` modifier is rejected on parameters of a function
declaration, but the check only covered the explicit parameter list, so
an implicit parameter (such as self or a compile-time binding) could
carry unused without a definition. Check the implicit parameter list
too.
The code changes and the test updates are split into two commits for
easier review.

In handle_let_and_var.cpp, field initializers are now handled like
regular `var` initializers, by calling `LocalPatternMatch`.
In pattern_match.cpp, `FieldDecl`s with initializers are handled by
storing a value in `SemIR::File::field_initializers()`. This is a new
map where the keys are `FieldDecl` `InstId`s and the map values are
`InstId`s representing the initializer value.
In convert.cpp, `ConvertStructToStructOrClass` now has a `get_default`
function parameter that callers can use to provide a field default.
`ConvertStructToClass` uses this to provide a default from field
initializers.
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.
Fixes mangling collisions when two thunks with the same name (eg, `Op`)
are created in the same context, which in turn would lead to LLVM
verifier failures and miscompiles.
To support this, add a new value store to track a little more
information about thunks beyond what's in the `Function`.
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.
- 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 will be used for const-evaling functions. Splitting into a separate
commit since it touches a lot of test files, and a couple fail_todo
tests are no longer failing.
This enables some nice simplifications, and it's also a step toward a
broader restructuring of binding and parameter patterns.

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.
This case is redundant: when deducing against a runtime parameter
pattern, the type is all that matters, and the type is added to the
deduction earlier. Additionally deducing the same argument against
parameter's subpattern just creates duplicate work, because the
subpattern has the same type.
This is a step toward removing the index from `InitForm`, so that equal
form values always have equal representations.

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.
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.
Implementation of unused pattern bindings #2022, continued.
Whereas previous PR #6460 took care of parsing, and PR #6479 prepared
the stage by using _ in some test cases, this PR has the the actual
implementation, using a simple dataflow analysis.

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.
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.
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.
The impl's body block has to end before we make its ImplDecl
instruction, and the witness instructions come later, so they don't end
up in the body block. Currently they just end up in the enclosing (file,
typically, or class) scope block.
Add a new InstBlockId to Impl for holding witness instructions, and
explicitly insert them into that block. Then include those instructions
into the scope of the Impl for naming, and format them into the Impl
right after the body block.
This is based on #6484
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).
