If the user has a derived `struct` type:
```hlsl
struct Base { int b = 1; }
struct Derived : Base { int d = 2; }
```
Then it is still reasonable for them to want to use initializer lists when declaring variables using the `Derived` type:
```hlsl
Derived x = {};
Derived y = { 7, 8 };
```
This change implements two missing pieces of functionality in the Slang compiler to allow this case:
* First, when the front-end semantic checks are applied to an initializer list, if the type being initialized is a derived `struct` type it always expects to find initialization arguments for its base type before those for its fields.
* Second, when lowering an initializer-list expression from the AST to the IR, the compiler expects the first argument in the list to be the initial value for the base field (if any). This also applies to default-initialization of fields/variables.
This change slightly entangles front-end logic with the logic for how struct inheritance is lowered to the IR, but the behavior is unlikely to confuse users who expect C++-like layout.
It is worth noting that with this change it should be possible to initialize the base type using either a nested initializer list or flat arguments:
```hlsl
struct BigBase { int x; int y; int z; }
struct BigDerived : BigBase { int w; }
BigDerived a = { {1,2,3}, 4 };
BigDerived b = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
```
This behavior should Just Work because of the existing C-like rules for initializer lists where an aggregate can be initialized by either a `{}`-enclosed block or distinct values for its leaf fields.

The basic bug here was that `enum` types with an explicit tag type:
enum Color : int32_t { ... }
would have an `InheritanceDecl` implying that `Color` inherits from
`int32_t`. The problem is that this is *not* actually an inheritance
relationship, since a `Color` needs to be explicitly cast to/from an
`int32_t`.
Various parts of the compiler currently treat this case like real
inheritance, and as a result the operations taht would apply to an
`int32_t` end up applying to a `Color` as well. This particularly leads
to an ambiguity between applying the `==` operator, because it has
overloads for both the `__EnumType` and `__Builtin{something}`
interfaces.
The fix here is to explicitly exclude the `InheritanceDecl` that
represents an enumeration tag type when considering declared subtype
relationships. A more complete version of this fix would need to go
through all places in the code where `InheritanceDecl`s are used and
make sure that any places using them for true inheritnace relationships
ignore those that represent an enumeration tag type.
(An alternative option would be to use a distinct kind of `Decl` to
represent the tag-type relationship, perhaps even going so far as to
modifying the type of the relevant AST node as part of semantic
checking)
This change includes a regression test for the way this bug surfaced in
user code.

This change originally started with the simple goal of allowing generic functions with default argument values on their parameters to work:
```
void someFunction<T>(T value, int optional = 0);
```
The core problem there was that the compiler code was (correctly) anticipate the case where the default argument value for a parameter depends on a generic parameter, such as:
```
interface IDefaultable { static This getDefault(); }
void anotherFunction<T : IDefaultable>(T first, T second = T.getDefault());
```
Supporting this latter case requires some kind of ability to apply subsitutions to an `Expr`, but our compiler logic simply errored out in that case. The first major fix that went into this change was to add a new `SubstExpr<T>` type that behaves a lot like `DeclRef<T>` in that it stores a `T*` plus a set of substititions that need to be applied to it.
In addition, it was found that even if `anotherFunction<ConcreteType>(...)` might work, when generic argument inference was used for just `anotherFunction(...)` would fail because it includes a strict match on the number of arguments/parameters in the call expression.
The next problem that arose was that the test I'd created used an interace with an `__init` requirement, and it appeared that our code generation didn't work for that case:
```
interface IStuff { __init(int val); }
void f<T : IStuff>(T x = T(0));
```
In this case, the `T(0)` initialization would get compiled to `(ConcreteType) 0` in the output rather than calling the function generated for the `__init` inside `ConcreteType`. The basic problem there was a bit of crufty old logic we have in place to work around the large number of `__init` declarations in the stdlib that don't have proper `__intrinsic_op` modifiers on them. We really need to fix the underlying problem there, but I worked around it by having the IR lowering pass only do its workaround magic on stdlib declarations.
The next problem down this line was that my test had two different `__init` declarations in the concrete type and the logic for checking interface conformance was picking the wrong one to satisfying an interface requirement despite it being obviously wrong (not even the right number of parameter).
This last problem led me down the rabbit-hole of trying to actually get our semantic checking for interface requirements right. There were a few pieces to that work:
* Actually checking that the parameter and result types for two callables match is the simple part. If that was all that would be required we would have implement this logic a long time ago.
* Next we have to deal with functions that make use of the `This` type, associated types, etc. We have to know that when the interface uses `This`, we want to treat that as equivalent to `ConcreteType`, and similarly for associated types. Getting that working is mostly a matter of setting up a this-type subsitution for the interface member being checked.
* Finally, when comparing generic declarations like `IBase::doThing<T>` and `Derived::doThing<U>` we need to deal with the way that `T` and `U` represent the "same" logical type parameter, but are distinct `Decl`s. This is handled by specializing the base declaration to the parameters of the derived one (e.g., forming `IBase::doThing<U>` using the `U` from `Derived::doThing`).
The result seems to be passing our tests, but there are still a few gotchas lurking, I'm sure.

During semantic checking, the compiler used to link together `ExtensionDecl`s into a singly-linked list dangling off of the `AggTypeDecl` that they applied to. This approach made lookup relatively easy, because given a `DeclRef` to an `AggTypeDecl` one could easily find and walk the list of candidate extensions.
Unfortunately, the simple approach has two major strikes against it:
* First, as we recently ran into, it creates a lifetime/ownership problem, in cases where the `ExtensionDecl` is outlived by the `AggTypeDecl` it applies to. This creates the one and only place in the compiler today where an "old" AST node might point to a "new" AST node, and it resulted in use-after-free problems in client code.
* Second, the scoping of `extension`s ends up being completely wrong. All of the `extension` methods on a type end up being visible in all cases, instead of just in the context of modules where the `extension` itself is visible. The comparable feature in C# (static extension methods) is careful to not make scoping mistakes like this. The Swift langauge has loose scoping for `extension` more akin to what we have in Slang today, but the maintainers seem to consider it a misfeature.
This change attempts to clean up both issues by changing the way that extension declarations are stored. There are two main pieces:
1. The primary "source of truth" for extension lookup has been moved to the `ModuleDecl`, where a module is responsible for storing a cache of the extensions declared within that module (keyed by the declaration of the type being extended). This cache is updated at the same point where the old code would mutate the AST node being depended on.
2. A secondary aggregated cache is added to the `SharedSemanticsContext` used during semantic checking. This cache includes entries from across multiple modules, and is intended to be invalidated and rebuilt on demand if new modules are added during checking.
Access to the candidate extensions has now been put behind subroutines that require a semantics-checking context to be passed in (there was always one available in contexts that care about extensions).
In addition, the operation for looking up members including those from extensions was refactored heavily to involve internal rather than external iteration and, more importantly, was changed so that it actually tests whether the `ExtensionDecl`s it loops over apply to the type in question, rather than blindly letting extensions members be looked up in ways that don't make sense.
There are three test cases added here to confirm aspects of the fix:
* First, I added a test that reproduces the crash that was being seen, so that we have a regression test for the fix.
* Second, I added a basic semantic-checking test to confirm that an `extension` from an `import`ed module is still visible/usable, to confirm that I didn't break existing valid uses of extensions.
* Third, I added a diagnostic test that ensures that we correctly ignore extensions that should not be visible in a given context as a result of `import` declarations.

* Initial work on property declarations
Introduction
============
The main feature added here is support for `property` declarations, which provide a nicer experience for working with getter/setter pairs.
If existing code had something like this:
```hlsl
struct Sphere
{
float4 centerAndRadius; // xyz: center, w: radius
float3 getCenter() { return centerAndRadius.xyz; }
void setCenter(float3 newValue) { centerAndRadius.xyz = newValue; }
// similarly for radius...
}
void someFunc(in out Sphere s)
{
float3 c = s.getCenter();
s.setCenter(c + offset);
}
```
It can be expressed instead using a `property` declaration for `center`:
```hlsl
struct Sphere
{
float4 centerAndRadius; // xyz: center, w: radius
property center : float3
{
get { return centerAndRadius.xyz; }
set(newValue) { centerAndRadius.xyz = newValue; }
}
// similarly for radius...
}
void someFunc(in out Sphere s)
{
float3 c = s.center;
s.center = c + offset;
}
```
The benefits at the declaration site aren't that signficiant (e.g., in the example above we actually have slightly more lines of code), but the improvement in code clarity for users is significant.
Having `property` declarations should also make it easier to migrate from a simple field to a property with more complex logic without having to first abstract the use-site code using a getter and setter.
An important future benefit of `property` syntax will be if we allow `interface`s to include `property` requirements, and then also allow those requirements to be satisfied by ordinary fields in concrete types.
Subscripts
----------
The Slang compiler already has limited (stdlib-use-only) support for `__subscript` declarations, which are conceptually similar to `operator[]` from the C++ world, but are expressed in a way that is more in line with `subscript` declarations in Swift. A `SubscriptDecl` in the AST contains zero or more `AccessorDecl`s, which correspond to the `get` and `set` clauses inside the original declaration (there is also a case for a `__ref` accessor, to handle the case where access needs to return a single address/reference that can be atomically mutated).
A major goal of the implementation here is to re-use as much of the infrastructure as possible for `__subscript` declarations when implementing `property` declarations.
Nonmutating Setters
-------------------
One additional thing added in this change is the ability to mark a `set` accessor on either a subscript or a property as `[nonmutating]`, and indeed all of the existing `set` accessors declared in the stdlib have been marked this way.
The need for this modifier is a bit subtle. If we think about a typical subscript or property:
```hlsl
struct MyThing
{
int f;
property p : int
{
get { return f; }
set(newValue) { f = newValue; }
}
}
```
it is clear we want the `set` accessor to translate to output HLSL as something like:
```
void MyThing_p_set(inout MyThing this, int newValue)
{
this.f = newValue;
}
```
Note how the implicit `this` parameter is `inout` even though we didn't mark anything as `[mutating]`. This is the obvious thing a user would expect us to generate given a property declaration.
Now consider a case like the following:
```hlsl
struct MyThing
{
RWStructuredBuffer<int> storage;
property p : int
{
get { return storage[0]; }
set(newValue) { storage[0] = newValue; }
}
}
```
This new declaration doesn't require (or want) an `inout` `this` parameter at all:
```
void MyThing_p_set(MyThing this, int newValue)
{
this.storage[0] = newValue;
}
```
In fact, given the limitations in the current Slang compiler around functions that return resource types (or use them for `inout` parameters), we can only support a `set` operation like this if we can ensure that the `this` parameter is considered to be `in` instead of `inout`. This is exactly the behavior we allow users to opt into with a `[nonmutating] set` declaration.
All of the subscript operations in the stdlib today have `set` accessors that don't actually change the value of `this` that they act on (e.g., storing into a `RWStructuredBuffer` using its `operator[]` doesn't change the value of the `RWStructuredBuffer` variable -- just its contents).
We'd gotten away without this detail so far just because `set` accessors were only being declared in the stdlib and they were all implicitly `[nonmutating]` anyway, so it never surfaced as an issue that the code we generated assumed a setter wouldn't change `this`.
Implementation
==============
Parser and AST
--------------
Adding a new AST node for `PropertyDecl` and the relevant parsing logic was mostly straightforward. The biggest change was allowing a `set` declaration to introduce an explicit name for the parameter that represents the new value to be set.
This change also adds a `[nonmutating]` attribute as a dual to `[mutating]`, for reasons I will get to later.
Semantic Checking
-----------------
The `getTypeForDeclRef` logic was updated to allow references to `property` declarations.
Some of the semantic checking work for subscripts was pulled out into re-usable subroutines to allow it to be shared by `__subscript` and `property` declarations.
The checking of accessor declarations, which sets their result type based on the type of the outer `__subscript` was changed to also handle an outer `property`.
Some special-case logic was added for checking of `set` declarations to make sure that their parameter is given the expected type.
Some logic around deciding whether or not `this` is mutable had to be updated to correctly note that `this` should be mutable by default in a `set` accessor, with an explicit `[nonmutating]` modifier required to opt out of this default. (This is the inverse of how a typical method or `get` accessor works).
IR Lowering
-----------
The good news is that after IR lowering, access to properties turns into ordinary function calls (equivalent to what hand-written getters and setters would produce), so that subsequent compiler steps (including all the target-specific emit logic) doesn't have to care about the new feature.
The bad news is that adding `property` declarations has revealed a few holes in how IR lowering was handling `__subscript` declarations and their accessors, so that it didn't trivially work for the new case as-is.
The IR lowering pass already has the `LoweredValInfo` type that abstractly represents a value that resulted from lowering some AST code to the IR. One of the cases of `LoweredValInfo` was `BoundSubscript` that represented an expression of the form `baseVal[someIndex]` where the AST-level expression referenced a `__subscript` declaration. The key feature of `BoundSubscript` is that it avoided deciding whether to invoke the getter, the setter, or both "too early" and instead tried to only invoke the expected/required operations on-demand.
This change generalizes `BoundSubscript` to handle `property` references as well, so it changes to `BoundStorage`. Making the type handle user-defined property declarations required fixing a bunch of issues:
* When building up argument lists in the IR, we need to know whether an argument corresponds to an `in` or an `out`/`inout` parameter, to decide whether to pass the value directly or a pointer to the value. Some of the logic in the lowering pass had been playing fast and loose with this, so this change tries to make sure that whenever we care computing a list of `IRInst*` that represent the arguments to a call we have the information about the corresponding parameter.
* Similarly, when emitting a call to an accessor in the IR, the information about the expected type of the callee was missing/unavailable, and the code was incorrectly building up the expected type of the callee based on the types of the arguments at the call site. The logic has been changed so that we can extract the expected signature of an accessor (how it will be translated to the IR) using the same logic that is used to produce the actual `IRFunc` for the accessor (so hopefully both will always agree).
* Dealing with `in` vs. `inout` differences around parameters means also dealing with the "fixup" code that is used to assign from the temporary used to pass an `inout` argument back into the actual l-value expression that was used. That logic has all been hoisted out of the expression visitor(s) and into the global scope.
Future Work
===========
The entire approach to handling l-values in the IR lowering pass is broken, and it is in need a of a complete rewrite based on new first-principles design goals. While something like `LoweredValInfo` is decent for abstracting over the easy cases of r-values, addresses, and a few complicated l-value cases like swizzling, it just doesn't scale to highly abstract l-values like we get from `__subcript` and `property` declarations, nor other corner cases of l-values that we need to handle (e.g., passing an `int` to an `inout float` parameter is allowed in HLSL, and performs conversions in both directions!).
It Should be Easy (TM) to extend the logic that tries to synthesize an interface conformance witness method when there isn't an exact match to also support synthesizing a property declaration (plus its accessors) to witness a required property when the type has a field of the same name/type.

Currently we fail to diagnose code that calls an instance method from a static method using implicit `this`, and instead crash during lowering of the AST to the IR.
This change introduces a bit more detail to the "this parameter mode" that is computed during lookup, so that it differentiates three cases. The existing two cases of a mutable `this` and immutable `this` remain, but we add a third case where the "this parameter mode" only allows for a reference to the `This` type.
When turning lookup "breadcrumb" information into actual expressions, we respect this setting to construct either a `This` or `this` expression.
In order to actually diagnose the incorrect reference, I had to add code around an existing `TODO` comment that noted how we should diagnose attempts to refer to instance members through a type. Enabling that diagnostic revealed a missing case needed by generics (including those in the stdlib) - a type-constraint member is always referenced statically.
Putting the diagnostic for a static reference to a non-static member in its new bottleneck location meant that some code higher up the call static that handles explicit static member references had to be tweaked to not produce double error messages.
This change includes a new diagnostic test to show that we now give an error message on code that makes this mistake, instead of crashing.

This change adds logic for parsing `namespace` declarations, referencing them, and looking up their members.
* The parser changes are a bit subtle, because that is where we deal with the issue of "re-opening" a namespace. We kludge things a bit by re-using an existing `NamespaceDecl` in the same parent if one is available, and thereby ensure that all the members in the same namespace can see on another.
* In order to allow namespaces to be referenced by name they need to have a type so that a `DeclRefExpr` to them can be formed. For this purpose we introduce `NamespaceType` which is the (singleton) type of a reference to a given namespace.
* The new `NamespaceType` case is detected in the `MemberExpr` checking logic and routed to the same logic that `StaticMemberExpr` uses, and the static lookup logic was extended with support for looking up in a namespace (a thin wrapper around one of the existing worker routines in `slang-lookup.cpp`.
* I made `NamespaceDecl` have a shared base class with `ModuleDecl` in the hopes that this would allow us to allow references to modules by name in the future. That hasn't been tested as part of this change.
* I cleaned up a bunch of logic around `ModuleDecl` holding a `Scope` pointer that was being used for some of the more ad hoc lookup routines in the public API. Those have been switched over to something that is a bit more sensible given the language rules and that doesn't rely on keeping state sititng around on the `ModuleDecl`.
* I added a test case to make sure the new funcitonality works, which includes re-opening a namespace, and it also tests both `.` and `::` operations for lookup in a namespace.
* The main missing feature here is the ability to do something like C++ `using`. It would probably be cleanest if we used `import` for this, since we already have that syntax (and having both `import` and `using` seems like a recipe for confusion). Most of the infrastructure is present to support `import`ing one namespace into another (in a way that wouldn't automatically pollute the namespace for clients), but some careful thought needs to be put into how import of namespaces vs. modules should work.

* Define compound intrinsic ops in the standard library
The current stdlib code has a notion of "compound" intrinsic ops, which use the `__intrinsic_op` modifier but don't actually map to a single IR instruction.
Instead, most* of these map to multiple IR instructions using hard-coded logic in `slang-ir-lower.cpp`.
(* One special case is `kCompoundOp_Pos` that is used for unary `operator+` and that maps to *zero* IR instructions)
All of the opcodes that used to use the `kCompoundOp_` enumeration values now have definitions directly in the stdlib and use the new `[__unsafeForceInlineEarly]` attribute to ensure that they get inlined into their use sites so that the output code is as close as possible to the original.
For the most part, generating the stdlib definitions for the compound ops is straightforward, but here's some notes:
* The unary `operator+` I just defined directly in Slang code, since it doesn't share much structure with other cases
* The unary increment/decrement ops are generated as a cross product of increment/decrement and prefix/postfix. The logic is a bit messy but given that we have scalar, vector, and matrix versions to deal with it still saves code overall
* Because all the compound/assignment cases got moved out, the existing code for generating unary/binary ops can be simplified a bit
* All the no-op bit-cast operations like `asfloat(float)` are now inline identity functions
* A few other small cleanups are made by not having to worry about the compound ops (which used to be called "pseudo ops") sometimes being encoded in to the same type of value as a real IR opcode.
The one big detail here is a fix for how IR lowering works for `let` declarations: they were previously being `materialize()`d which only guarantees that they've been placed in a contiguous and addressable location, but doesn't actually convert them to an r-value. As a result a `let` declaration could accidentally capture a mutable location by reference, which is definitely *not* what we wanted it to do. Fixing this was needed to make the new postfix `++` definition work (several existing tests end up covering this).
One important forward-looking note:
One subtle (but significant) choice in this change is that we actually reduce the number of declarations in the stdlib, because instead of having the compound operators include both per-type and generic overloads (just listing scalar cases for now):
float operator+=(in out float left, float right) { ... }
int operator+=(in out int left, int right) { ... }
...
T operator+= <T:__BuiltinBlahBlah>(in out T left, T right) { ... }
We now have *only* the single generic version:
T operator+= <T:__BuiltinBlahBlah>(in out T left, T right) { ... }
In running our current tests, this change didn't lead to any regressions (perhaps surprisingly).
Given that we were able to reduce the number of overloads for `operator+=` by a factor of N (where N is the number of built-in types), it seems worth considering whether we could also reduce the number of overloads of `operator+` by the same factor by only having generic rather than per-type versions.
One concern that this forward-looking question raises is whether the quality of diagnostic messages around bad calls to the operators might suffer when there are only generic overloads instead of per-type overloads. In order to feel out this problem I added a test case that includes some bad operator calls both to `+=` (which is now only generic with this change) and `+` (which still has per-type overloads). Overall, I found the quality of the error messages (in terms of the candidates that get listed) isn't perfect for either, but personally I prefer the output in the generic case.
As part of adding that test, I also added some fixups to how overload resolution messages get printed, to make sure the function name is printed in more cases, and also that the candidates print more consistently. These changes affected the expected output for one other diagnostic test.
* fixup: disable bad operator test on non-Windows targets

The actual definitions that got moved into the stdlib here are pretty few:
* `clip()`
* `cross()`
* `dxx()`, `ddy()` etc.
* `degrees()`
* `distance()`
* `dot()`
* `faceforward()`
The meat of the change is infrastructure changes required to support these new declarations
* Generic versions of the standard operators (e.g., `operator+`) were added that are generic for a type `T` that implements the matching `__Builtin`-prefixed interface. An open question is whether we can now drop the non-generic versions in favor of just having these generic operators.
* A `__BuiltinLogicalType` interface was added to capture the commonality between integers and `bool`
* `__BuiltinArithmeticType` was extended so that implementations must support initialization from an `int`
* `__BuiltinFloatingPointType` was extended to require an accessor that returns the value of pi for the given type, and the concrete floating-point types were extended to provide definitions of this value.
* It turns out that our logic for checking if two functions have the same signature (and should thus count as redeclarations/redefinitions) wasn't taking generic constraints into account at all. That was fixed with a stopgap solution that checks if the generic constraints are pairwise identical, but I didn't implement the more "correct" fix that would require canonicalizing the constraints.
* When doing overload resolution and considering potential callees, logic was added so that a non-generic candidate should always be selected over a generic one (generally the Right Thing to do), and also so that a generic candidate with fewer parameters will be selected over one with more (an approximation of the much more complicated rule we'd ideally have).
* The formatting of declarations/overloads for "ambiguous overload" errors was fleshed out a bit to include more context (the "kind" of declaration where appropriate, the return type for function declarations) and to properly space thing when outputting specialization of operator overloads that end with `<` (so that we print `func < <int>(int, int)` instead of just `func <<int,int>(int,int)`).
* The core lookup routines were heavily refactored and reorganized to try to make them bottleneck more effectively so that all paths handle all the nuances of inheritance, extensions, etc.
* Because of the refactoring to lookup logic, the semantic checking logic related to checking if a type conforms to an interface was updated to be driven based on the `Type` that is supposed to be conforming, rather than a `DeclRef` to the type's declaration. This allows it to use the type-based lookup entry point and eliminates one special-case entry point for lookup.
In addition to the various core changes, this change also refactors some of the existing stdlib code to favor writing more things in actual Slang syntax, and less in C++ code that uses `StringBuilder` to construct the Slang syntax. There is a lot more that could be done along those lines, but even pushing this far is showing that the current approach that `slang-generate` takes for how to separate meta-level C++ and Slang code isn't really ideal, so a revamp of the generator code is probably needed before I continue pushing.
One surprising casualty of the refactoring of lookup is that we no longer have the `lookedUpDecls` field in `LookupResult`. That field probably didn't belong there anyway, but the role it served was important. The idea of `lookedUpDecls` was to avoid looking up in the same interface more than once in cases where a type might have a "diamond" inheritance pattern. Removing that field doesn't appear to affect correctness of any of our existing tests, but by adding a specific test for "diamond" inheritance I could see that the refactoring introduced a regression and made looking up a member inherited along multiple paths ambiguous.
Rather than add back `lookedUpDecls` I went for a simpler (but arguably even hackier) solution where when ranking candidates from a `LookupResult` we check for identical `DeclRef`s and arbitrarily favor one over the other. One complication that arises here is that when comparing `DeclRef`s inherited along different paths they might have a `ThisTypeSubstitution` for the same type, but with different subtype witnesses (because different inheritance paths could lead to different transitive subtype witnesses: e.g., `A : B : D` and `A : C : D`).

* Improve checks and diagnostics around redeclarations
This change turns checking for redeclarations into a dedicated phase of semantic checking, and ensures that it applies to the main categories of declarations: functions, types, and variables.
Note that "variables" here includes function parameters and `struct` fields in addition to the more obvious global and local variables.
Some of the logic for checking redeclarations already existed for functions, and was refactored to deal with other cases of declarations. The checking for functions still needs to be special-cased because functions are much more flexible about the kinds of redeclarations that are allowed.
In addition to improving the diagnosis of redeclaration itself, this change also changes the error message that is produced when referencing a symbol that is ambiguous due to begin redeclared.
This is a small quality-of-life fix, and has the benefit of being much easier to implement than robust tracking of what variables have had redeclaration errors issued so that we can skip emitting an ambiguity error at the use site.
A new test case was added to cover the redeclaration cases for variables (but not types or functions), and the test for function parameters was updated to account for the new more universal diagnostic message (since function parameters used to have special-case redeclaration checking).

* Add a custom RTTI implementation for the AST
Profiling was showing that the internal routines behind `dynamic_cast` were the worst offenders in the whole codebase, and a lot of this was being driven by casting inside the semantic checking logic.
This change takes advantage of the fact that we *already* had a custom RTTI structure built up for the classes of syntax nodes that was previously being used to implement string->class lookup and factory services to support "magic" types and modifier in the stdlib (e.g., the way that a modifier declaration in the stdlib just lists the *name* of a C++ class that should be instantiated for it).
That RTTI information already included a pointer from each syntax class to its base class (if any), based on the restriction that the AST node types form a single-inheritance hierarchy.
The existing code already had a virtual `getClass()` routine on AST nodes, and an `isSubClassOf` query on the class information.
Putting those pieces together to implement the `dynamicCast` and `as` routines was a cinch.
The work in previous PRs to layer an abstraction over all the existing `dynamic_cast` call sites and to support type-specific `dynamicCast` implementations inside `RefPtr<>` pays off greatly here.
* fixup: refactor implementation to appease more pedantic/correct compilers

* Clean up the concept of "pseudo ops"
Built-in functions in the Slang standard library can be marked with `__intrinsic_op(...)` to indicate that they should not lower to functions in the IR, and that instead call sites to those functions should be translated directly to the IR.
There are two cases where `__intrinsic_op(...)` gets used:
1. In the case where the argument to `__intrinsic_op(...)` is an actual IR instruction opcode, the IR lowering logic directly translates a call into an instruction with the given opcode. The arguments to the call become the operands of the instruction.
2. In the case where the argument to `__intrinsic_op(...)` is one of a set of "pseudo" instruction opcodes, the IR lowering logic directly handles the lowering to IR with dedicated code. The operands to the call might be handled differently depending on the kind of operation.
The compound operators like `+=` are the most important example of these "pseudo" instructions.
It doesn't make sense to handle them as true function calls (although that would work semantically), nor does it make sense to have a single IR instruction with such complicated semantics.
An earlier version of the compiler used the same enumeration for both the true IR instruction opcodes and these "pseudo" opcodes, with the simple constraint that the pseudo opcodes were all negative while the real opcodes were positive. That design got changed up over a few refactorings, and because there was never a good explanation in the code itself of what "pseudo" opcodes were, we eventually ended up in a place where the in-memory and serialized IR encodings included logic to try to deal with the possibility of these "pseudo" opcodes, even though the entire design of the lowering pass meant that they'd never appear in generated IR.
This change tries to clean up the mess in a few ways:
* The terminology is now that these are "compound" intrinsic ops, to differentiate them from the more common case of intrinsic ops that map one-to-one to IR instructions.
* The declaration of the compound intrinsic ops is no longer in a file related to the IR, and doesn't use the `IR` naming prefix, so somebody looking at the IR opcodes cannot become confused and think the compound ops are allowed there.
* The IR encoding in memory and when serialized is updated to not account for or worry about the possibility of "pseudo" ops.
* The compound ops are declared in such a way that ensures their enumerant values are all negative, so that they are yet again trivially disjoint from the true IR opcodes.
A more drastic change might have split `__intrinsic_op` into two different modifier types: one for the trivial single-instruction case and one for the compound case.
Doing this would make the change more invasive, though, because there are places in the meta-code that generates the standard library that intentionally handle both single-instruction and compound ops (because built-in operators can translate to either case).

* Initial work for "global generic value parameters"
The main new feature here is support for the `__generic_value_param` keyword, which introduces a *global generic value parameter*.
For example:
__generic_value_param kOffset : uint = 0;
This declaration introduces a global generic value parameter `kOffset` of type `uint` that has a nominal default value of zero.
The broad strokes of how this feature was added are as follows:
* A new `GlobalGenericValueParamDecl` AST node type is introduces in `slang-decl-defs.h`
* A new `parseGlobalGenericValueParamDecl` subroutine is added to `slang-parser.cpp`, and is added to the list of declaration cases as the callback for the `__generic_value_param` name.
* Cases for `GlobalGenericValueParamDecl` are added to the declaration checking passes in `slang-check-decl.cpp`, mirroring what is done for other variable declaration cases.
* A case for `GlobalGenericValueParamDecl` is aded to the `Module::_collectShaderParams` function, so that it is recognized as a kind of specialization parameter. This introduces a specialization parameter of flavor `SpecializationParam::Flavor::GenericValue` (which was already defined before this change, although it was unused).
* A case for `SpecializationParam::Flavor::GenericValue` is added in `Module::_validateSpecializationArgsImpl` to check that a specialization argument represents a compile-time-constant value (not a type).
* A case for `GlobalGenericValueParmDecl` is introduced in `slang-lower-to-ir.cpp` that introduces a global generic parameter in the IR
* The `IRBuilder` is extended to support creating `IRGlobalGenericParam`s for the distinct cases of type, witness-table, and value parameters. The same IR instruction type/opcode is used for all cases, and only the type of the IR instruction differs.
* The existing mechanisms for lowering specialization arguments to the IR, and doing specialization on the IR itself Just Work with global generic value parameters since they already support value parameters on explicit generic declarations.
That's the santized version of things, but there were also a bunch of cleanups and tweaks required along the way:
* The `SpecializationParam` type was extended to also track a `SourceLoc` to help in diagnostic messages, which meant some churn in the code that collects specialization parameters.
* The `_extractSpecializationArgs` function is tweaked to support any kind of "term" as a specialization argument (either a type or a value).
* To allow *parsing* specialization arguments that can't possibly be types (e.g., integer literals) we replace the existing `parseTypeString` routine with `parseTermString` and then in `parseTermFromSourceFile` call through to a general case of expression parsing (which can also parse types) rather than only parsing types directly.
* Right before doing back-end code generation, we check if the program we are going to emit has remaining (unspecialized) parameters, in which case we emit a diagnostic message for the parameters that haven't been specialized rather than go on to emit code that will fail to compile downstream.
* Within the `render-test` tool we collapse down the arrays that held both "generic" and "existential" specialization arguments, so that we just have *global* and *entry-point* specialization argument lists. This mirrors how Slang has worked internally for a while, but the difference hasn't been important to the test tool because no tests currently mix generic and existential specialization. The logic for parsing `TEST_INPUT` lines has been streamlined down to just the global and entry-point cases, but the pre-existing keywords are still allowed so that I don't have to tweak any test cases.
There are several significant caveats for this feature, which mean that it isn't really ready for users to hammer on just yet:
* There is no support for `Val`s of anything but integers, so there is no way to meaningfully have a generic value param with a type other than `int` or `uint`.
* We allow for a default-value expression on global generic parameters, but do not actually make use of that value for anything (e.g., to allow a programmer to omit specialization arguments), nor check that it meets the constraints of being compile-time constant.
* Global generic value parameters are *not* currently being treated the same as explicit generic parameters in terms of how they can be used for things like array sizes or other things that require constants. This will probably be relaxed at some point, but allowing a global generic to be used to size an array creates questions around layout.
* The IR optimization passes in Slang currently won't eliminate entire blocks of code based on constant values, so using a global generic value parameter to enable/disable features will *not* currently lead to us outputting drastically different HLSL or GLSL. That said, we expect most downstream compilers to be able to handle an `if(0)` well.
* Fix regression for tagged union types
The change that made specialization arguments be parsed as "terms" first, and then coerced to types meant that any special-case logic that is specific to the parsing of types would be bypassed and thus not apply.
Most of that special-case logic isn't wanted for specialization arguments, since it pertains to cases were we want to, e.g, declare a `struct` type while also declaring a variable of that type.
The one special case that *is* useful is the `__TaggedUnion(...)` syntax, which is the only way to introduce a tagged union type right now.
In order to get that case working again, all I had to do was register the existing logic for parsing `__TaggedUnion` as an expression keyword with the right callback, and the existing logic in expression parsing kicks in (that logic was already handling expression keywords like `this` and `true`).
I left in the existing logic for handling `__TaggedUnion` directly where types get parsed, rather than try to unify things.
A better long-term fix is to make the base case for type parsing route into `parseAtomicExpr` so that the two paths share the core logic.
That change should probably come as its own refactoring/cleanup, because it creates the potential for some subtle breakage.

* Split apart `SemanticsVisitor`
The existing `SemanticsVisitor` type was the visitor for expressions, statements, and declarations, and its monolithic nature made it hard to introduce distinct visitors for different phases of checking (despite the fact that we had, de facto, multiple phases of declaration checking).
This change splits up `SemanticsVisitor` as follows:
* There is nosw a `SharedSemanticsContext` type which holds the shared state that all semantics visiting logic needs. This includes state that gets mutated during the course of semantic checking.
* The `SemanticsVisitor` type is now a base class that holds a pointer to a `SharedSemanticsContext`. Most of the non-visitor functions are still defined here, just to keep the code as simple as possible. The `SemanticsVisitor` type is no longer a "visitor" in any meaningful way, but retaining the old name minimizes the diffs to client code.
* There are distinct `Semantics{Expr|Stmt|Decl}Visitor` types that have the actual `visit*` methods for an appropriate subset of the AST hierarchy. These all inherit from `SemanticsVisitor` primarily so that they can have easy access to all the helper methods it defines (which used to be accessible because these were all the same object).
Any client code that was constructing a `SemanticsVisitor` now needs to construct a `SharedSemanticsContext` and then use that to initialize a `SemanticsVisitor`. Similarly, any code that was using `dispatch()` to invoke the visitor on an AST node needs to construct the appropriate sub-class and then invoke `dispatch()` on it instead.
This is a pure refactoring change, so no effort has been made to move state or logic onto the visitor sub-types even when it is logical. Similarly, no attempt has been made to hoist any code out of the common headers to avoid duplication between `.h` and `.cpp` files. Those cleanups will follow.
The one cleanup I allowed myself while doing this was getting rid of the `typeResult` member in `SemanticsVisitor` that appears to be a do-nothing field that got written to in a few places (for unclear reasons) but never read.
* Remove some statefulness around statement checking
Some of the state from the old `SemanticsVisitor` was used in a mutable way during semantic checking:
* The `function` field would be set and the restored when checking the body of a function so that things like `return` statements could find the outer function.
* The `outerStmts` list was used like a stack to track lexically surrounding statements to resolve things like `break` and `continue` targets.
Both of these meant that semantic checking code was doing fine-grained mutations on the shared semantic checking state even though the statefullness wasn't needed.
This change moves the relevant state down to `SemanticsStmtVisitor`, which is a type we create on-the-fly to check each statement, so that we now only need to establish the state once at creation time.
The list of outer statements is handled as a linked list threaded up through the stack (a recurring idiom through the codebase).
There was one place where the `function` field was being used that wasn't strictly inside statement checking: it appears that we were using it to detect whether a variable declaration represents a local, so I added an `_isLocalVar` function to serve the same basic purpose.
With this change, the only stateful part of `SharedSemanticsContext` is the information to track imported modules, which seems like a necessary thing (since deduplication requires statefullness).
* Refactor declaration checking to avoid recursion
The flexiblity of the Slang language makes enforcing ordering on semantic checking difficult. In particular, generics (including some of the built-in standard library types) can take value arguments, so that type expressions can include value expressions. This means that being able to determine the type of a function parameter may require checking expressions, which may in turn require resolving calls to an overloaded function, which in turn requires knowing the types of the parameters of candidate callees.
Up to this point there have been two dueling approaches to handling the ordering problem in the semantic checking logic:
1. There was the `EnsureDecl` operation, supported by the `DeclCheckState` type. Every declaration would track "how checked" it is, and `EnsureDecl(d, s)` would try to perform whatever checks are needed to bring declaration `d` up to state `s`.
2. There was top-down orchestration logic in `visitModuleDecl()` that tried to perform checking of declarations in a set of fixed phases that ensure things like all function declarations being checked before any function bodies.
Each of these options had problems:
1. The `EnsureDecl()` approach wasn't implemented completely or consistently. It only understood two basic levels of checking: the "header" of a declaration was checked, and then the "body," and it relied on a single `visit*()` routine to try and handle both cases. Things ended up being checked twice, or in a circular fashion.
2. Rather than fix the problems with `EnsureDecl()` we layered on the top-down orchestration logic, but doing so ignores the fact that no fixed set of phases can work for our language. The orchestration logic was also done in a relatively ad hoc fashion that relied on using a single visitor to implement all phases of checking, but it added a second metric of "checked-ness" that worked alongside `DeclCheckState`.
This change strives to unify the two worlds and make them consistent. One of the key changes is that instead of doing everything through a single visitor type, we now have distinct visitors for distinct phases of semantic checking, and those phases are one-to-one aligned with the values of the `DeclCheckState` type.
More detailed notes:
* Existing sites that used to call `checkDecl` to directly invoke semantic checking recursively now use `ensureDecl` instead. This makes sure that `ensureDecl` is the one bottleneck that everything passes through, so that it can guarantee that each phase of checking gets applied to each declaration at most once.
* The existing `visitModuleDecl` was revamped into a `checkModule` routine that does the global orchestration, but now it is just a driver routine that makes sure `ensureDecl` gets called on everything in an order that represents an idealized "default schedule" for checking, while not ruling out cases where `ensureDecl()` will change the ordering to handle cases where the global order is insufficient.
* Because `checkModule` handles much of the recursion over the declaration hierarchy, many cases where a declaration `visit*()` would recurse on its members have been eliminated. The only case where a declaration should recursively `ensureDecl()` its members is when its validity for a certain phase depends on those members being checked (e.g., determining the type of a function declaration depends on its parameters having been checked).
* All cases where a `visit*()` routine was manually checking the state/phase of checking have been eliminated. It is now the responsibility of `ensureDecl` to make sure that checking logic doesn't get invoked twice or in an inappropriate order.
* Most cases where a `visit*()` routine was manually *setting* the `DeclCheckState` of a declaration have been eliminated. The common case is now handled by `ensureDecl()` directly, and `visit*()` methods only need to override that logic when special cases arise. E.g., when a variable is declared without a type `(e.g., `let foo = ...;`) then we need to check its initial-value expression to determine its type, so that we must check it further than was initially expected/required.
* This change goes to some lengths to try and keep semantic checking logic at the same location in the `slang-check-decl.cpp` file, so each of the per-phase visitor types is forward declared at the top of the file, and then the actual `visit*()` routines are interleaved throughout the rest of the file. A future change could do pure code movement (no semantic changes) to arrive at a more logical organization, but for now I tried to stick with what would minimize the diffs (although the resulting diffs can still be messy at times).
* One important change to the semantic checking logic was that the test for use of a local variable ahead of its declaration (or as part of its own initial-value expression) was moved around, since its old location in the middle of the `ensureDecl` logic made the overall flow and intention of that function less clear. There is still a need to fix this check to be more robust in the future.
* Add some design documentation on semantic checking
The main thing this tries to lay out is the strategy for declaration checking and the rules/constraints on programmers that follow from it.

* Revise new COM-lite API
This change revises the "COM-lite" API that was recently introduced to try to streamline it and introduce some missing central/base concepts.
The central new abstraction in the API is the notion of a "component type," which is a unit of shader code composition. A component type can have:
* IR code for some number of functions/types/etc.
* Zero or more global shader parameters
* Zero or more "entry point" functions at which execution can start
* Zero or more "specialization" parameters (types or values that must be filled in before kernel code can be generated)
* Zero or more "requirements" (dependencies on other component types that must be satisfied before kernel code can be generated)
Both individual compiled modules, and validated entry points are then examples of component types, and we additionally define a few services that apply to all component types:
* We can take N component types and compose them to create a new component type that combines their code, shader parameters, entry points, and specialization parameters. A composed component type may also include requirements from the sub-component types, but it is also possible that by composing thing we satisfy requirements (if `A` requires `B`, and we compose `A` and `B`, then the requirement is now satisfied, and doesn't appear on the composite).
* We can take a component type with N specialization parameters, and specialize it by giving N compatible specialization arguments. The result of specialization is a new component type with zero specialization parameters. Under the right circumstances the specialzed component type will be layout compatible with the unspecialized one.
* One more example that isn't exposed in the public API today is that we can take a component with requirements and "complete" it by automatically composing it with component types that satisfy those requirements. This can be seen as a kind of linking step that pulls together the transitive closure of dependencies.
* We can query the layout for the shader parameters and entry points of a component type, for a specific target.
* We can query compiled kernel code for an entry point in a component type (for a specific target). This only works for component types with zero specialization parameters and zero requirements.
The idea is that by giving users a fairly general algebra of operations on component types, they can compose final programs in ways that meet their requirements. For example, it becomes possible to incrementally "grow" a component type to represent the global root signature for ray tracing shaders as new entry points are added, in such a way that it always stays layout-compatible with kernels that have already been compiled.
Much of the implementation work here is in implementing the unifying component type abstraction, and in particular re-writing code that used to assume a program consisted of a flat list of modules and entry points to work with a hierarchical representation that reflects the underlying algebra (e.g., with types to represent composite and specialized component types).
There's also a hidden "legacy" case of a component type to deal with some legacy compiler behaviors that can't be directly modeled on top of the simple algebra with modules and entry points.
This API is by no means feature-complete or fully developed. It is expected that we will flesh it out more when bringing up application code (e.g., Falcor) on top of the revamped API.
One notable thing that went away in this change is explicit support for "entry point groups" and notions of local root signatures (especially the Falcor-specific handling of the `shared` keyword, which a previous change turned into an explicitly supported feature). With the new "building blocks" approach, it should be possible for a DXR application to deal with local root signatures as a matter of policy (on top of the API we provide). If/when we need to provide some kind of emulation of local root signatures for Vulkan (and/or if Vulkan is extended with an explicit notion of local root signatures), we might need to revisit this choice.

There was invalid code inside an `assert()`, so the release build didn't catch it.
