I'm initiating this mainly because we typically use "id" suffixes to
indicate an `IdBase` being passed around and the non-id suffix of
`parse_node` suggests at it carrying more data than it actually does.
There used to be more reason for avoiding `node_id` because
`SemIR::InstId` used to be named `NodeId`, but that's no longer
necessary. As a consequence, I'd like to rename `parse_node` to more
precisely reflect its type.
In full, this is doing:
```
parse_node_kind -> node_kind
parse_node -> node_id
ParseNodeCategory -> NodeCategory
ParseNodeKind -> NodeKind
ParseNode -> NodeId
```
This is primarily in check and sem_ir, but with some `parse_node_kind`
references in parse too.
Pluralization is consistent with name forms on both sides, so that
wasn't part of my replacements.
`Self` is modeled as a `bind_symbolic_name` with no corresponding value,
for now at least. In the future it might make sense to model it as a new
kind of instruction, or as a `bind_symbolic_name` whose value is a
`param`, but for now we just want it to introduce a symbolic constant.
In order to convert a value like the `Self` of an interface to a type, a
new instruction `facet_type_access` is introduced. This notionally
accesses the "type" field within a facet, converting it from a pair of
(type, witness) into just the type.
Note we may also want to do this with NameId, maybe some other things,
but the TypeId use is pretty broad and repetitive -- I thought I'd start
with it first.
Remove the type canonicalization mechanism and instead rely on constant
canonicalization to deduplicate types.
Rename the `Canonicalize*Type` functions to reflect that they're no
longer performing canonicalization. Switch code that creates types due
to semantic checking, rather than due to source syntax, to directly
create type constants through evaluation rather than creating an
instruction and evaluating it to produce a separate constant
representation.
The mapping from `const (const T)` that was previously performed by type
canonicalization is now implemented in expression evaluation instead.
The value `<error>` is now treated as a constant value, with a special
property that an instruction involving `<error>` that could possibly be
constant evaluates to `<error>`. This helps avoid producing follow-on
errors when an error occurs as a subexpression of an expression, such as
a type, that is intended to be constant.
The parse nodes are still tracked as part of the same value store
interface in order to ensure parity, but they're split out from Inst
itself in order to reduce the size of Inst -- the expectation is that
they don't need to be passed around quite as much.
This change doesn't actually reduce the passing very much, although
there are hints of it: AddInstAndPush doesn't typically need a separate
parse node from the one on the Inst itself, for example. In a couple
spots I changed code to rely a little more on the InstId until the
ParseNode is needed, but it's very low hanging fruit where done. I think
convert could do more to not eagerly fetch the parse node before its
use, but more cleanup felt it would be easier to handle separately. I'm
currently viewing this as making such cleanup _possible_ rather than
executing on it up-front.
But also, I want to make sure there's a consensus to head in this
direction before pulling the trigger. We speculated that this would
result in the parse node being passed around less, and I do think that's
the case, although it's a bit fuzzy in the change.

This change adds a `BindSymbolicName` instruction for generic bindings,
paralleling the existing `BindName`. A mechanism is also added to allow
both kinds of binding to be accessed uniformly, for convenience in the
case where the two different kinds of binding are treated the same.
Generic bindings of type `type` are allowed to be used as types,
although no operations are provided for such types. For now lowering
treats these types as empty structs, which seems like a reasonable
lowering for non-monomorphized unconstrained types.
The goal here is to make the representation more uniform so that we can
start adding different kinds of binding -- checked generic bindings and
template bindings -- across both function parameters and local `let`
declarations.
With this change, the entry in the parameter list for the function is
the name binding, not the Param itself, which has some ripple effects on
consumers of that list that want to access the parameter rather than the
binding. This is expected to change again when we start adding more of
the pattern matching SemIR, but this seems good enough for now.
This builds out a little infrastructure for one name scope to `extend`
another. We'll need more refinement here to cover other cases, but this
should provide some foundation for that future work.

Another incremental change to diagnostic formatting. I simply recurse
over all the tokens in the subtree of a parse node and construct a
`DiagnosticLocation` that covers all of the tokens.
I believe it's nicer for the user to be directed at the entire chunk of
source where the error is occurring rather then just pointing at the
bracketing/terminator tokens, but let me know if you all agree.
This is enough to support calling methods that take a `Base` or `Base*`
as their `self`. But name lookup doesn't look in the base class yet, so
base class methods aren't actually found.
Most of the calls to `StringifyType` already passed `true` for
`in_type_context`. Checking the rest, I found that every one of them was
already sufficiently clear that they were printing a type, or could be
made so with a very small change to the diagnostic text.
I was suggesting this because `FloatingPoint` is pretty long. `int` and
`float` should be familiar abbreviations. `unsigned` should be familiar
to developers too, but `UnsignedInt` still feels usefully clearer for
the additional chars.
These are manual fixes; mostly from clang-tidy, some from clangd (which
notes unused includes).
In typed_insts, adding inlline due to misc-definitions-in-headers. Per
discussion, clang-tidy is wrong, but inline silences it.
For parameter name skew in definition versus declaration, I'm just using
the name from the definition.

This gets to a lifetime subtlety, particularly with things like the
sorting diagnostic consumer that delay output. In order to reduce the
chance of accidental references, disallow StringRef in the diagnostics.
For example:
```
./toolchain/diagnostics/diagnostic_emitter.h:162:5: error: static_assert failed due to requirement '!std::is_same_v<llvm::StringRef, llvm::StringRef>' "Use std::string or llvm::StringLiteral for diagnostic lifetimes."

For now, we require the same introducer to be used each time a class is
declared, but see #3384.

Instead of ad-hoc conversion tracking on some kinds of nodes that
conversion creates, consolidate tracking into a single node kind. This
frees up an operand on `Init` instructions that can be used to store the
destination.
Add a `NameId` that is effectively just a wrapper around a `StringId`,
with
some additional predefined values for names that don't correspond to
strings, such as the name of `self` or the function's return slot.
This turns out to somewhat block `package` support because there's a
fuzzer test-case that does similar. The parse is valid so we should
probably handle it reasonably.
I suspect the `let` test case might work with a little effort, given it
shouldn't really require much evaluation. On the other hand, `var`
definitely shouldn't, and `fn` will probably require something like
`constexpr` plus more substantial compile-time evaluation support.
Following up on discussion yesterday regarding this split.
Note, I'm expecting #3341 to do IdentifierId -> NameId in SemIR. It
might be worth adding NameId creation directly to StringStore if you're
content with this setup though.
If the initializing representation is the same as the value
representation, don't materialize a temporary and perform a value
binding. Instead, directly extract the value, using a new
`value_of_initializer` node.
This removes a lot of redundant `alloca`s from our generated LLVM IR.
For now, we treat class types and `String` as non-copyable, because we
don't know how to emit SemIR to copy them yet. This will change as we
add support for copying those types when appropriate.

Adds a `BoundMethod` SemIR node to represent an `x.F` bound method, with
a new builtin type `BoundMethodType`. Reorganized conversion of call
expression arguments to also check and convert a `self` parameter in the
implicit parameters list.
In passing, improved diagnostics and error recovery for bad call
expressions. We now build a `call` node with the appropriate type and
value category, but with invalid arguments, if the argument conversion
failed, and diagnose calls to non-callable expressions.
`addr self` methods don't work properly yet; the `addr` is ignored for
now.

1. In general, `semantics_ir` -> `sem_ir`, to match the directory name.
2. For the list of `ValueStore`-related accessors on `SemIR::File`, add
them to `check`'s `Context` object, shortening access.
Finishing what #3316 started, add more bespoke ValueStore-like
structures to File. With this, the things which previously had somewhat
boilerplate Add/Get functions are now all on side classes, giving a
uniform style of API for calling.
Note, I was on the fence about making things public on ValueStore. If
it's preferred that I make some things there protected I certainly can,
there's just a trade-off that may mean more distinct child/wrapper
types.
Split `node.h` into separate files for ID types (`id.h`) and for typed
nodes (`typed_nodes.h`). The per-node-kind data is now specified as part
of declaring the typed nodes, and is removed from the node kinds
x-macros, which now simply enumerate the node kinds.
Building on #3311, change SemIR to use the SharedValueStore. Since this
removes hermeticity, raw output no longer prints ints, reals, and
strings. TokenizedBuffer accessors are modified to return IDs because
values are often passed through in semantics without needing to read
them.
I would've put SharedValueStores on Context, except for the
GetArrayBoundValue convenience method. I felt awkward removing that, so
it's on File, at least for now. That's then used by the formatter and
Lower too. The flipside of this is that TokenizedBuffer has a
SharedValueStores only for printing, so maybe that's similar enough to
what File is doing.
This doesn't start shifting other SemIR members to ValueStore, but that
seems like a next step.
