In Angular today, the following pattern works:
```typescript
export class BaseDir {
constructor(@Inject(ViewContainerRef) protected vcr: ViewContainerRef) {}
}
@Directive({
selector: '[child]',
})
export class ChildDir extends BaseDir {
// constructor inherited from BaseDir
}
```
A decorated child class can inherit a constructor from an undecorated base
class, so long as the base class has metadata of its own (for JIT mode).
This pattern works regardless of metadata in AOT.
In Angular Ivy, this pattern does not work: without the @Directive
annotation identifying the base class as a directive, information about its
constructor parameters will not be captured by the Ivy compiler. This is a
result of Ivy's locality principle, which is the basis behind a number of
compilation optimizations.
As a solution, @Directive() without a selector will be interpreted as a
"directive base class" annotation. Such a directive cannot be declared in an
NgModule, but can be inherited from. To implement this, a few changes are
made to the ngc compiler:
* the error for a selector-less directive is now generated when an NgModule
declaring it is processed, not when the directive itself is processed.
* selector-less directives are not tracked along with other directives in
the compiler, preventing other errors (like their absence in an NgModule)
from being generated from them.

Similar to interpolation, we do not want to completely remove whitespace
nodes that are siblings of an expansion.
For example, the following template
```html
<div>
<strong>items left<strong> {count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}
</div>
```
was being collapsed to
```html
<div><strong>items left<strong>{count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}</div>
```
which results in the text looking like
```
items left4
```
instead it should be collapsed to
```html
<div><strong>items left<strong> {count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}</div>
```
which results in the text looking like
```
items left 4
```

**Analysis of the code and manual testing has shown that this does not cause
the generated ids to change, so there is no breaking change here.**

This commit updates the `_clone` function of the `_ApplySourceSpanTransformer` class, where the for-in loop was used, resulting in copying from prototype to own properties, thus consuming more memory. Prior to NodeJS 12 (V8 versions before 7.4) there was an optimization that was improving the situation and since that logic was removed in favor of other optimizations, the situation with memory consumption caused by the for-in loop got worse. This commit adds a check to make sure we copy only own properties over to cloned object.

When injecting a `ChangeDetectorRef` into a pipe, the expected result is that the ref will be tied to the component in which the pipe is being used. This works for most cases, however when a pipe is used inside a property binding of a component (see test case as an example), the current `TNode` is pointing to component's host so we end up injecting the inner component's view. These changes fix the issue by only looking up the component view of the `TNode` if the `TNode` is a parent.

Currently, template expressions and statements have their location
recorded relative to the HTML element they are in, with no handle to
absolute location in a source file except for a line/column location.
However, the line/column location is also not entirely accurate, as it
points an entire semantic expression, and not necessarily the start of
an expression recorded by the expression parser.
To support record of the source code expressions originate from, add a
new `sourceSpan` field to `ASTWithSource` that records the absolute byte
offset of an expression within a source code.

Fixes Ivy matching directives against attribute bindings (e.g. `[attr.some-directive]="foo"`). Works by excluding attribute bindings from the attributes array during compilation. This has the added benefit of generating less code.
**Note:** My initial approach to implementing this was to have a different marker for attribute bindings so that they can be ignored when matching directives, however as I was implementing it I realized that the attributes in that array were only used for directive matching (as far as I could tell). I decided to drop the attribute bindings completely, because it results in less generated code.

Currently we reuse the same instruction both for regular property bindings and property bindings on the `host`. The only difference between the two is that when it's on the host we shouldn't support inputs. We have an optional parameter called `nativeOnly` which is used to differentiate the two, however since `nativeOnly` is preceeded by another optional parameter (`sanitizer`), we have to generate two extra parameters for each host property bindings every time (e.g. `property('someProp', 'someValue', null, true)`).
These changes add a new instruction called `hostProperty` which avoids the need for the two parameters by removing `nativeOnly` which is always set and it allows us to omit `sanitizer` when it isn't being used.
These changes also remove the `nativeOnly` parameter from the `updateSyntheticHostBinding` instruction, because it's only generated for host elements which means that we can assume that its value will always be `true`.

Prior to this fix, the logic to set the right placeholder format for ICUs was a bit incorrect: if there was a nested ICU in one of the root ICU cases, that led to a problem where placeholders in subsequent branches used the wrong ({$placeholder}) format instead of {PLACEHOLDER} one. This commit updates the logic to make sure we properly transform all placeholders even if nested ICUs are present.

This commit updates placeholder format used inside ICUs from `{$placeholder}` to `{PLACEHOLDER}` to better align with Closure. ICU placeholders (that were left as is prior to this commit) are now replaced with actual values in post-processing step (inside `i18nPostprocess`).

Adds the new `classMapInterpolate1` through `classMapInterpolate8` instructions which handle interpolations inside the `class` attribute and moves the interpolation logic internally. This allows us to remove the `interpolationX` instructions in a follow-up PR.
These changes also add an error if an interpolation is encountered inside a `style` tag (e.g. `style="width: {{value}}"`). Up until now this would actually generate valid instructions, because `styleMap` goes through the same code path as `classMap` which does support interpolation. At runtime, however, `styleMap` would set invalid styles that look like `<div style="0:w;1:i;2:d;3:t;4:h;5::;7:1;">`. In `ViewEngine` interpolations inside `style` weren't supported either, however there we'd output invalid styles like `<div style="unsafe">`, even if the content was trusted.

There's no build time dependency from @angular/core to @angular/compiler,
so core can't directly refer to compiler types. To overcome this limitation,
there's a facade layer defined in the compiler and duplicated in core,
such that during runtime all types will correctly align.
There's a testcase in the compiler that verifies that all such facade types
are compatible across core and compiler, such that the core types can't get
misaligned with the actual definitions in the compiler. This suite of
tests were missing the `R3BaseMetadataFacade` facade type, so it was possible
for this type to get out of sync.

When a class uses Angular decorators such as `@Input`, `@Output` and
friends without an Angular class decorator, they are compiled into a
static `ngBaseDef` field on the class, with the TypeScript declaration
of the class being altered to declare the `ngBaseDef` field to be of type
`ɵɵBaseDef`. This type however requires a generic type parameter that
corresponds with the type of the class, however the compiler did not
provide this type parameter. As a result, compiling a program where such
invalid `ngBaseDef` declarations are present will result in compilation
errors.
This commit fixes the problem by providing the generic type parameter.

Currently the `RecursiveAstVisitor` that is part of the template expression
parser does not _always_ properly pass through the context that can be
specified when visting a given expression. Only a handful of AST types
pass through the context while others are accidentally left out. This causes
unexpected and inconsistent behavior and basically makes the `context`
parameter not usable if the type of template expression is not known.
e.g. the template variable assignment migration currently depends on
the `RecursiveAstVisitor` but sometimes breaks if developers use
things like conditionals in their template variable assignments.

Currently each property binding generates an instruction like this:
```
property('prop1', ctx.value1);
property('prop2', ctx.value2);

The problem is that we're repeating the call to `property` for each of the properties. Since the `property` instruction returns itself, we can chain all of the calls which is more compact and it looks like this:
```
property('prop1', ctx.value1)('prop2', ctx.value2);
```
These changes implement the chaining behavior for regular property bindings and for synthetic ones, however interpolated ones are still handled like before, because they use a separate instruction.

To provide some context: The implicit receiver is part of the
parsed Angular template AST. Any property reads in bindings,
interpolations etc. read from a given object (usually the component
instance). In that case there is an _implicit_ receiver which can also
be specified explicitly by just using `this`.
e.g.
```html
<ng-template>{{this.myProperty}}</ng-template>
```
This works as expected in Ivy and View Engine, but breaks in case the
implicit receiver is not used for property reads. For example:
```html
<my-dir [myFn]="greetFn.bind(this)"></my-dir>
```
In that case the `this` will not be properly translated into the generated
template function code because the Ivy compiler currently always treats
the `ctx` variable as the implicit receiver. This is **not correct** and breaks
compatibility with View Engine. Rather we need to ensure that we retrieve
the root context for the standalone implicit receiver similar to how it works
for property reads (as seen in the example above with `this.myProperty`)
Note that this requires some small changes to the `expression_converter`
because we only want to generate the `eenextContent()` instruction if the
implicit receiver is _actually_ used/needed. View Engine determines if that is the case by recursively walking through the converted output AST and
checking for usages of the `o.variable('_co')` variable ([see here][ve_check]). This would work too for Ivy, but involves most likely more code duplication
since templates are isolated in different functions and it another pass
through the output AST for every template expression.

Added a new syntax for projections (`¤` will represent `ng-content` nodes) so that we can treat them specifically.
When we enter an i18n block with the instruction `i18nStart`, a new `delayProjection` variable is set to true to prevent the instruction `projection` from projecting the nodes. Once we reach the `i18nEnd` instruction and encounter a projection in the translation we will project its nodes.
If a projection was removed from a translation, then its nodes won't be projected at all.
The variable `delayProjection` is restored to `false` at the end of `i18nEnd` so that it doesn't stop projections outside of i18n blocks.
