The purpose of the newline is to make it clearer where a given
diagnostic begins and ends, particularly as the first message of a
diagnostic may not be the error.
This is a trivial code change, but ripples edits through test files.
For now, a builtin function is defined by specifying a string literal
initializer in a function declaration:
```carbon
fn MyBuiltin(a: i32) -> i32 = "builtin.name";
```
End-to-end support is included for a sample `"int.add"` builtin
performing integer addition, covering constant evaluation and code
generation.
The implementation here needs substantial refactoring before we'll be
ready to start adding more builtins. That refactoring work will be
coming next. This change is aiming to checkpoint some incremental
progress.
A couple of minor functional changes here:
- We now always create a `name_ref` for the name referred to by the
right-hand operand of member access. Previously we skipped creating this
instruction if the referenced name was a field, and just created the
field access instruction. This makes our processing of member accesses
and our SemIR representation a bit more uniform.
- We now perform lookup into the type of the left-hand operand if it's
any type with a scope, not just for classes. This means we do lookup
into interface types. However, doing so isn't really useful yet because
it always finds an associated entity that isn't usable by itself. This
changes the diagnostic in
`toolchain/check/testdata/interface/fail_todo_facet_lookup.carbon`.
Rather than just adding `Self` to the lexical scope, add it to the
class's name scope so that it is visible in later lexical scopes for the
same class -- in particular, for out-of-line definitions of members.
Also switch some tests in `check/testdata/class` over to making
idiomatic use of `Self` both inside a class and out-of-line, now that it
works more consistently.
Note that this does not permit using `Class.Self`, but only because we
don't yet support keyword names after `.` at all. If that changed, one
could use `Class.Self` to redundantly refer to `Class`. Whether we allow
that is left to a future decision.
Previously we used the default inst block formatting, which writes out a
parenthesized list of references, which would always be 'unexpected
instref's because nothing else prints the instructions in the decl
block.
In addition, track the decl block for function declarations like we do
for other kinds of declaration. This means that the parameter
declarations for a function are now properly rendered into the formatted
IR. Note that this adds a lot of verbosity to `function_decl`, but it
does accurately reflect the IR, and we'll probably want this information
to be printed once we start supporting more complex generic function
declarations.
This removes almost all the 'unexpected instref's in our formatted
output. There are remaining cases when a declarative scope contains
multiple blocks, where we only track one of those blocks. That happens
when there is control flow within declarative scopes, and for error
recovery when a class or interface or similar is defined more than once.
As requested in #3730.
By adding a constant to ClassDecl/InterfaceDecl, we're able to remove
name reference special-casing. Use TryEvalInst on the Decl to generate
the Type. For ClassDecl, then use the generated constant for
self_type_id.
Adds `BindAlias` with a hybrid of `BindName` and `NameRef` semantics. I
think it's slightly closer to `BindName` because it introduces a name,
so I'm going more in that direction. This also matches the need for
`bind_name_id` with imports on enclosing scopes.
Note, only things that look like a name reference are being allowed on
the RHS of `alias`. This includes builtins that look like name
references, such as `bool`, but not ones that turn into values
underneath, such as `false`.
Building on #3636 which handles the general import case, add special
casing for namespaces. Namespaces can be combined cross-IR, so it's a
little more complex.
The implementation adds import_id to the Namespace instruction as a
reference to find the original using the normal structure. This is
achieved by moving the name_id to NameScope to free up space.
---
I considered a few alternatives...
I considered adding import_id to NameScope, but:
1. It's more consistent with things such as Function or Class that
provide name_id on the info object rather than the instruction.
2. I thought it more likely that there would be more NameScope cases
that might want a name_id rather than the import_id, since ImportRef
will typically be used.
I considered putting the import source (cross-ref IR id + inst id) on
the NameScope versus a separate ImportRef, which seems like the
strongest argument towards the NameScope approach because it removes an
instruction. That just felt inconsistent though, and the overhead of
instruction-per-imported-namespace should be low (theoretically few
namespaces should be used). Plus I feel a bit odd adding two
generally-unused ids to NameScope.
A specialized Namespace structure could also have been created to store
the import_id, but that would add an indirection to the NameScope.
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.
Rather than producing multiple constants with the same value, fold all
instances of a given constant to the same constant instruction.
A future PR will use this to replace the current type canonicalization
system.
This is accomplished by tracking an extra bit on the ID we store in the
constant values table, and propagating that from subexpressions to the
enclosing expression. This extra bit is not yet computed correctly for
types; that will be addressed in later PRs.

Form a side table with constant values for each instruction. Evaluation
is only supported for a few very simple kinds of instruction for now.
This is not observable outside of the SemIR output, because nothing
depends on expressions having a constant value phase yet.
Namespaces are copied, which means also adding their name to the
underlying instruction. It happened not to be done previously; the name
was only in name lookup.
Since the only import supported right now is the default import,
functionality is limited; in the future I'll need to deal with namespace
vs package conflicts.
Tests of namespace imports are under "namespace" -- I figured this would
be best for scaling as more instructions get support.
This also improves some debugging-related output that I was trying to
use while trying to build the support.

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 creates a namespace for `package` scope.
It looks like names of class_decls in namespaces lead to an unexpected
instref. This is already true, as best as I can tell. I'm not sure if
there's a preferred approach to address that, so I've left a TODO for
now.
This removes the filename from the file-scoped block, and places it
above to make it clear where the full SemIR begins (with multifile,
providing a barrier between).
This is an incremental improvement on our diagnostic messages that
simply underlines an entire token if the token is larger than 1 char
(else it points to the single char with a caret like it used to).
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.
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.
