Richard Smith e69c3fd978 Support list initialization of C++ classes that is performed via a constructor call. (#6660)
The general strategy here is to import the constructor with a signature
that directly matches the argument. The intent is that the imported
function will eventually be usable directly as the `ImplicitAs.Convert`
function in a generated `impl`.

For initialization from a tuple, for example `(1, 2)`, we import the
selected constructor with a signature that takes a tuple pattern:

  `fn Class.Class((a: i32, b: i32)) -> Class;`

In order to support that, this PR also adds support in general for tuple
patterns in function signatures. It turns out the implementation was
already very close to allowing this.

Richard Smith 093d5072db Add support for using C++ user-defined conversions via interop (#6646)
When performing an implicit conversion to or from a C++ class type, look
for a C++ implicit conversion, and if that conversion involves a
function call (to a constructor or conversion function), call that
function to perform the conversion.

Note that this is just a first pass at supporting implicit conversions.
There are a lot of other things that can happen in a C++ implicit
conversion, such as aggregate initialization or `std::initializer_list`
initialization that aren't handled here. In addition, we intentionally
leave all standard conversions to Carbon to perform, so that we will
reject conversions such as `i32 -> unsigned` that C++ would select but
Carbon considers to be invalid.

Also support `as` conversions. These are treated analogously, but
perform direct-initialization instead of copy-initialization, so they
also find `explicit` constructors and conversion functions.

In order to give good diagnostics, also track the original C++ source
location for imported C++ functions on the imported version of the
function.

David Blaikie 773b7136ef Use a single llvm::Module for C++ interop and Carbon IRGen (#6595)
Some module metadata changed - because rather than linking one module
with one module metadata value (eg: PIC Level 0, or unspecified) and one
module with a different one (PIC level 2, in clang) - we use Clang's
Module as-is, no merging required, so Clang's module metadata sticks
rather than being merged with default values from Carbon.

Also tweaked the name we use for Clang's module name so it matches the
carbon file name.

Otherwise the IR changes seem to be just reorderings - C++ interop goes
first, then Carbon, rather than the other way around.

David Blaikie f1f6005d4a Perform Clang IRGen during check (#6569)
Background:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wi85FRiWh4X9A-gCYMVGKR40-q5fM6-3JaSpePk-XCY/edit?usp=sharing
And specifically this work is essentially an alternative to #5543

Clang's code generation is implemented through an ASTListener
(clang::CodeGenerator) that is attached throughout Clang's
parsing/sema/code
generation phases and acts on Clang AST incrementally throughout that
process.

Prior to this patch, Carbon has only created the CodeGenerator during
Carbon's
`lower` phase, missing out on key callbacks that would be made by Clang
during
`check`. Some of these issues were addressed by #6237 and #6483 - but
there were
still remaining cases where the delayed processing lead to missing
functionality.

With #6483 much of the Clang code that made multithreaded complexity of
#5543 is
no longer present, and we have access to the point of ASTListener
registration
so we can register the CodeGenerator there and consume its resulting
llvm::Module during lower.

Examples of some of the bugs this addresses are seen in the linked doc,
and
checked in as tests in this change in
`clang_code_generator_callbacks.carbon`

An indicental bug that's also fixed, and caused all the other test case
churn,
is that the `CodeGenerator` created during `lower` wasn't getting passed
the
Clang `CodeGenOpts` and was creating its own default - so, most notably,
optimization flags were not respected. This meant that the LLVM IR from
Clang
was always -O0 style IR (optnone, no inlinehint, no TBAA, etc). With
this
change, now the Clang IRGen gets the real `CodeGenOpts` and respects
optimization/other flags specified there.

This is only meant to be a rough proof of concept - I'm totally open to
reworking this in any way (even quite substantially) if folks have ideas
about
how this should be implemented most generally/elegantly/etc.

Richard Smith 531d063596 When importing a trivial destructor from C++, produce a no_op builtin. (#6531)
This avoids us trying to produce a reference to the C++ destructor,
which Clang won't emit because it believes it's unnecessary. This
previously led to link errors.

Fixe #6502.

Burak Emir 992d435023 Replace unused bindings with anonymous binding in lower/testdata. (#6479)
This updates lower/testdata to use _ instead of proper names, in order
to avoid the "unused binding" warnings from #2022 which are being
implemented. These changes do not depend on the implementation which
should make everything easier to review.

See #6460 with part 1 of the implementation. It was split upon request
in order to make reviewing easier, the original state of the PR was
updating hundreds of test cases.
The PR has thus been split, part 2 including test cases changes can be
viewed at
https://github.com/burakemir/carbon-lang/tree/unused_pattern_bindings_p2022_impl_part2
... many tests need to be updated, so it seems best to get those tests
out of the way that are not interesting.

These are not all tests in lower/testdata - a few of them are
interesting in the sense that they cannot use '_' because it leads to
failed redeclaration check. This is exactly the scenario described in
#3763 which requires the 'unused' marker. Those are left untouched here
but are updated in
https://github.com/burakemir/carbon-lang/tree/unused_pattern_bindings_p2022_impl_part2

Richard Smith c7cd24e1b2 Support for calling C++ destructors. (#6453)
Synthesize an impl of `Destroy` for C++ classes in response to impl
lookup.
2025-12-09 21:03:27 +00:00
372f632d9d Implement support for copying C++ classes. (#6434)
When performing impl lookup for `Core.Copy` for a C++ class type, look
for a copy constructor. If we find one, synthesize an impl witness that
calls the constructor.

This adds initial support for impl lookup to delegate to the C++ interop
logic for queries involving C++ types. For now, we don't implement the
rules from #6166 that compare a synthesized type structure for the C++
impl against the best Carbon type structure, but the framework for
building that support is established here.

Currently there is no caching of the lookup here, and we build unique
`ImplWitnessTable`s for each lookup, which leads to each impl lookup
producing a distinct facet value. This results in some errors in generic
contexts; this will be addressed in follow-up changes. This PR aims only
to support the non-generic case.

David BlaikieandDana Jansens a179bd461b Start plumbing through debug info type information with function parameters/return value (#6410)
This adds just enough debug info for i32/int parameters and return
values, with a path forward for adding DWARF type metadata for other
types.

As it happens, return type information is carried separately from
parameter information:
* Return type information is carried in the `type` of the `DISubprogram`
  (as a `DISubroutineType` - which does carry parameter type information
  as well, but that's unused when the DWARF is emitted by LLVM)
* Parameter information is carried by `DILocalVariable`s with a non-zero
  `arg` value (representing the order of function parameters)

In the absence of locations for the parameters (future work), nothing
would usually keep the `DILocalVariable` live/reachable when emitting
DWARF - so for cases where this can happen (for clang, this happens in
optimized builds where all references to the parameter variable might be
optimized away) the variables can be "retained" in a list on the
`DISubprogram` - achieved by passing `AlwaysPreserve` parameter to
`createParameterVariable` (adds them to a list, then that list gets
attached to the `DISubprogram` when it's finalized later)

For now, any unsupported types are emitted as `void*` (except void
return, which is implemented as void) as a placeholder.

Given this example:
```
import Core library "io";
class MyClass {
}
fn Unsupported(v: MyClass) {
}
fn Ret() -> i32 {
  return 42;
}
fn Arg(x: i32) {
  Core.Print(x);
}
fn Run() {
}
```
this is the resulting DWARF:
```
DW_TAG_compile_unit
  DW_AT_name    ("test.carbon")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Unsupported")
    DW_TAG_formal_parameter
      DW_AT_type        (0x00000066 "void *")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Ret")
    DW_AT_type  (0x00000062 "int")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Arg")
    DW_TAG_formal_parameter
      DW_AT_type        (0x00000062 "int")
  DW_TAG_subprogram
    DW_AT_name  ("Run")
  DW_TAG_base_type
    DW_AT_name  ("int")
  DW_TAG_pointer_type
```
And the debugger:
```
(gdb) p Ret()
$1 = 42
(gdb) p Arg(4)
4
$2 = void
```

I'm not sure if there's a way this logic should be merged with the logic
for making the `llvm::Function` type (which the `DISubroutineType`
building code was inspired by/copied from) - since they're done at
different times/places, I don't think there's an easy way to do it in
one pass, but maybe the code can be shared (even if it's run twice) in
some generic `SemIR::Function` type walker.

David Blaikie bb9942823f DebugInfo: Emit as "C++" rather than "C" (#6361)
This helps at least lldb handle calling functions (currently the debug
info describes every function as `void()`, so no parameters or return
values are supported) - seems gdb and lldb both depend on demangling to
varying degrees in C code (marking a function as "prototyped" in C in
DWARF does seem to also address this problem).

Given:
```
fn PrintThree() {
  Core.Print(3);
}
```
Before:
```
  (lldb) p PrintThree()
  error: Couldn't look up symbols:
    PrintThree
  Hint: The expression tried to call a function that is not present in
    the target, perhaps because it was optimized out by the compiler.
```
After:
```
  (lldb) p PrintThree()
  3
  (lldb)
```

aa69a484eb Add support for running LLVM optimizer. (#6225)
Adds a flag `--optimize=<mode>` that specifies what to optimize for:

* `--optimize=none` turns off the optimizer as much as possible, but
still respects always_inline.
* `--optimize=debug` aims to be the equivalent of `-Og` / `-O1`, and
provides optimizations that don't affect the ability to debug the
program. This is the default.
* `--optimize=size` optimizes for the size of the produced program, and
aims to be the equivalent of `-Oz`.
* `--optimize=speed` optimizes for the execution time of the produced
program, and aims to be the equivalent of `-O3`.

Following the approach taken by Clang, the optimization level feeds into
both the configuration of the LLVM pass pipeline and the attributes
added to function definitions generated by the frontend.

Optimization is performed in a new phase, `optimize`, which runs between
`lower` and `codegen`.

Richard SmithandJon Ross-Perkins 1e7b7e53ae C++ interop: support for default arguments. (#6108)
The general strategy here is to force use of a thunk when we want to use
default arguments, and have Clang generate uses of the default arguments
on its side of the thunk.

To support this, change the key type used in `clang_decls` from being
just a `Decl*` to being a pair of `Decl*` and number of parameters in
the case of function decls. Import distinct `SemIR::Function`s for each
number of parameters that's used, and corresponding distinct thunks.

Boaz Brickner 1d314c7c4d Import C++ constructors of class Type fn Type(...) -> Type (#5879)
Only supports classes with a single (non copy non move) constructor
(without default values), until overloading is supported.

Based on #5878.

C++ Interop Demo:

```c++
// hello_world.h

#include <cstdio>

class C {
 public:
  C(int x, int y) : x_(x), y_(y) {}

  int x() const { return x_;}
  int y() const { return y_;}

 private:
  int x_;
  int y_;
};

void hello_world(C* _Nonnull c);
```

```c++
// hello_world.cpp

#include "hello_world.h"

#include <cstdio>

void hello_world(C* _Nonnull c) {
  printf("C.x = %d. C.y = %d\n", c->x(), c->y());
}
```

```carbon
// main.carbon

library "Main";

import Cpp library "hello_world.h";

fn Run() -> i32 {
  var c : Cpp.C = Cpp.C.C(1, 2);
  Cpp.hello_world(&c);
  return 0;
}
```

```shell
$ clang -c hello_world.cpp
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon compile main.carbon
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon link hello_world.o main.o --output=demo
$ ./demo
C.x = 1. C.y = 2
```
