This prevents different template instantiations from getting
over-eagerly merged. Unfortunately we don't have a good middle-ground
yet, and this effectively disables all merging for templates. We may be
able to find some smart way to fingerprint spliced instructions so that
we can still merge template instantiations, but for now this change is
just fixing the wrong-code bug.
Add basic support for lowering templates: we can now lower `SpliceInst`
in the case where the generic and specific are from the same file (and
we don't support importing templates from other files yet in general).
In order for this to work, lowering needs to be able to query the
expression category, and to handle instructions that appear to be
(template) constants in the generic but turn out to be non-constant in
the specific, so support for that is added.
Switch `type_of_inst` from being added as an action inst to being added
as a normal inst, since it's not an action and the old approach led to a
crash in lowering.
Replace `refine_type_action` with `refine_inst_action`, and generate a
`specific_inst` instead of an `as_compatible` to represent the specific
version of an instruction that's used as an input to a template action.
This gives us a place to handle other properties of the instruction that
might vary from generic to specific beyond its type, such as its
constant value and its expression category.
For now, we provide a non-template-dependent constant value to the
`specific_inst` in addition to the non-template-dependent type we have
traditionally provided. This doesn't seem to matter for any current
actions, but sets us up to better handle future actions. The
`specific_inst` representation also allows downstream consumers of the
instruction to track which specific they should be requesting
information from. Providing a correct expression category for
`specific_inst` will be handled in a future PR.
Follow the pattern used by eval_inst.h's `EvalConstantInst` to generate
declarations of an overload set that handles some but not all typed inst
classes. The pattern is:
* A template computes the signature to use for a particular overload,
producing a fallback `() -> void` signature for overloads that should
not exist.
* The `.def` file is used to generate a declaration per instruction
kind, whose signature is generated by the template.
* The `() -> void` signature that all the "should not exist" cases
generate is explicitly deleted.
This avoids the redundancy of manually declaring all the overloads, as
we did for `PerformAction`, and is less error-prone as it both catches
signature errors and definitions of overloads that are dead code and
should not exist, as it did for the `FacetAccessType` overload of
`LowerInst`.
Fix a lowering crash when lowering a return by reference of a type with
an in-place initializing representation. We previously misinterpreted
this as an in-place initializing return.
This is addressed by changing lowering to interpret a `ReturnExpr` of a
reference expression as a reference return. However, that exposes
another issue: `return var;` produces a `ReturnExpr` of a reference
expression in the case where it returns in place! To fix that, we switch
`return var;` to producing a `ReturnExpr` of a value expression
regardless of whether the function has a return slot. This makes the
representation of `return var;` more uniform:
* If the expression is a reference, we're performing a `ref` return.
* If the expression is an initializing expression, we're performing a
normal by-initialization return.
* If the expression is a value expression, we're performing a `return
var;`.
Use the Carbon-computed alignment for allocas, loads, stores, and
memcpys. Previously we used whatever LLVM felt like giving us, which
would result in ABI mismatches and runtime crashes due to misalignment
when creating objects of imported C++ class types, as well as resulting
in some surprising choices like `(i32, i32)` and `()` having 8-byte
alignment instead of 4 and 1, respectively.
https://carbon.compiler-explorer.com/z/88K9Kh5Wo shows the program
exiting with a garbage value copied from uninitialized memory.
This PR modifies `lower` to detect if the function lowered is the
entry point and doesn't specify a return type. If so, it emits
different LLVM IR to return int32 0, and modifies the lowered
function signature to match the int32 return 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.

When initializing `.base` in class initialization, use `partial Base` as
the destination type rather than `Base`. Treat `partial Base` as not
being abstract even when `Base` is.
Allow conversion from a `partial T` initializer to a `T` initializer.
Store the vptr while performing the conversion. Do not store the vptr
when performing a `partial T` initialization, only when performing a
non-partial `T` initialization.
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.
This is needed to model things like the category of `x` in the body of
`fn Foo(F:! Core.Form, x:? F)`, where the category of `x` is determined
by the concrete value of `F` (see #5389 for the design of `:?`
bindings).
This will be used in a follow-up PR.
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.
See #6588 and the review history of this PR for background.

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.
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.

Add `Dependent` value and initializing representations for types whose
representations are unknown because they are dependent. When generating
SemIR in such cases, use a worst-case initializing representation that
both provides a destination address and also propagates a potential
result value.
Use this to fix incorrect lowering and lowering crashes for specific
functions involving generic types that don't use a copy value
representation.
In lowering, be careful to distinguish between whether the initializing
representation for the generic return type uses a return slot (which
affects whether the SemIR declaration and call have one) and whether the
initializing representation for the specific return type uses a return
slot (which affects whether the LLVM IR declaration and call have one).
The goal was/is to reduce the overhead for vtables in generics - the
previous representation/prior to this patch caused a new vtable to be
created in every specific which isn't generally what we want for Carbon
generics (the whole specific/generic thing is meant to avoid creating
specific versions for things that can be a generic form parameterized by
a specific instead of manifest as a unique entity per specific)
So this moves vtables to a top level object (like functions, classes,
etc). Each dynamic class will have a vtable in this list.
Classes have a `vtable_ptr` instruction in them that points to the
vtable.
The actual generic support hasn't been implemented in this patch, as
I've been struggling with just getting this part of the migration going
& wanted to get it flushed out before adding the additional
complications.
It's possible more laziness when doing cross-file importing would be
suitable - for instance if we only need to reference the vtable from
another file, but don't need to know its individual contents, it may be
beneficial for the functions in the vtable to be import_refs (or to add
another layer of indirection - so it can be a single import_ref
all-or-nothing for the functions in the vtable).

Previously we created allocas for temporaries at whatever point in the
output LLVM function we'd reached. This would result in these being
dynamic allocas (performing a dynamic stack allocation), which is
inefficent and can lead to a stack overflow if it happens in a loop.
Switch to putting the allocas in the entry block instead, and instead
generate a lifetime start marker when we reach the point where the
temporary is introduced. We already did this for local variables; this
is just factoring out and reusing that code.
Update remaining parts of lowering, in particular the lowering of
aggregates, to handle lowering within a specific from a different file
than its generic. Look up information about a type in the current
specific and in its file rather than performing lookups for the type in
the generic and its file.
Remove or fix all remaining uses of raw `TypeId` in
lower/function_context and lower/handle*, so that the type from the
specific is consistently always used when lowering a specific function.

When lowering a specific function whose generic was defined in a
different file, switch to that other file's `FileContext` and lower the
generic there. Also pass the `FileContext` corresponding to the specific
into the `FunctionContext`, and use that `FileContext` for resolving
requests for constants and types from the specific.
`IRBuilderBase::SetInsertPoint` weirdly replaces our debug location with
one copied from the new insertion point, so undo its damage after
calling it.
Also included: a couple of cleanups I made while tracking this down.
These constant instructions are all TypeInstId already in their type,
and this makes their names match.
Change the name of MakeSingletonInstId as well and update its comment.
We frequently want to operate on singletons. Per discussion, drop
`Singleton` to make the code shorter.
This started off as wanting to write `inst_id.is_error()`, but the
dependency relationship between ids.h and singleton_insts.h would
require some kind of delayed evaluation to allow the implementation to
remain in headers (which I suspect is helpful to have for inlining). I
could have added something like `IsErrorInst`, forward declared in ids.h
and defined in singleton_insts.h (which would always be included by
typed_insts.h), but the template approach felt like a decent balance
between (a) removing the boilerplate `::SingletonInstId`, (b)
understandability, (c) still visually mirroring if we immediately return
a singleton, and (d) flexibility for more than just `ErrorInst`. But TBH
I'd probably still have written `is_error()` if it didn't require
addressing the cross-header cycle.
Then I tried `SemIR::InstId::Is<SemIR::ErrorInst>`, which generally
worked with types but generated the complaint that it didn't shorten
*all* singleton uses. So pulling back on `::Is`, and instead just
dropping `Singleton`.
Get type in specific when lowering associated constants. This resolves
crash when getting type for type_id is not found, when the query is for
a specific.
Note: Currently lowering only supports mangling of impls that can viewed
as a single interface (single ImplConstraint).
Adds a mapping to keep track of vtable LLVM IR decls/defs for use.
Adds the vtable_id to the vtable_ptr initialize instruction for lookup.
Adds emission of vtable declarations for use outside the file that
defines the vtable. (this isn't done lazily, it's done for any imported
class - it could be done lazily & maybe eventually has to be lazy to
handle generics)
When performing a call through an impl witness, the callee that we
type-check against is the function in the interface, so we form a
specific for that callee. However, once the impl witness access
resolves, the eventual callee is a different function -- the function in
the impl -- so this would cause us to form a `SpecificFunction` where
the callee is one function but the specific refers to a different
function.
Address this by adding another instruction, `SpecificImplFunction`, that
takes a function in an impl and a specific for the corresponding
function in the interface, and computes and returns a `SpecificFunction`
referring to the corresponding specific function in the impl, or returns
a direct reference to the function in the `impl` if it's not a generic
function.
The InstId in this field is to an instruction that declares the
function, rather than the function itself, so that diagnostics can print
where the function is coming from. The type of the function (the
FunctionType instruction) is the type (the type_id) of the
function_decl_id. So we rename the field to help make this distinction
more clear.
Followup to #4739
Non-entry-block allocas will allocate new stack memory each time they're
reached, resulting in leaking stack memory over time for allocas in a
loop. Move all such allocas to the entry block instead, and use an LLVM
intrinsic to mark when the lifetime of the variable actually begins.
Such indexing operations are created by array initialization. Since we
switched integer literals to be of type IntLiteral we've been attempting
to index arrays with the (empty) representation of an IntLiteral rather
than with an actual integer value.
This fixes a crash in lowering, at least (though only initializes the
vptr to
null for now) - certainly open to naming feedback on the instruction, or
the
exact semantics (we could have a global vptr instruction that's
referenced from
the existing instructions for reading globals, for instance).
I guess we'll want one type parameter for the vptr_init instruction,
which is
the type that this is a vptr for? (can do that here or in a follow-on
patch)
Actually presenting two options in this one review - if you look at the
specific
commits in this PR, the first commit represents my first attempt - and
if you
look at the overall PR change for the second attempt.
But I'm totally open to completely different approaches/ideas - these
were just
my rough guesses.
The new `FacetValue` instruction represents `C as I` for some type `C`
and facet type `I`. It is named `FacetValue` instead of just `Facet` to
parallel the `FacetType` instruction.
This PR uses this instruction represent the facet value `Self` in an
`impl` declaration. This instruction will be used in the future to also
support things like:
* `C as I` where `C` is a class; and
* forming a specific for a generic with a `T:! I` parameter where `T` is
being given a concrete value.
(Here `I` is an interface or other non-`type` facet type.)
Also do some renaming and add some comments to make things a bit more
clear.
* `FacetTypeAccess` -> `FacetAccessType` to clarify this is not access
of a facet type, but access of the type of a facet
* `.facet_id` -> `.facet_value_inst_id` to parallel the `FacetValue`
instruction
`FacetAccessWitness` will be in a future PR.

In this case, the callee may be non-constant because it includes a
reference to `self`, so we need to be able to lower a non-constant
`specific_function`.
