Currently the decorator handlers are run against all `SourceFile`s in the compilation, but we shouldn't be doing it against declaration files. This initially came up as a CI issue in #33264 where it was worked around only for the `DirectiveDecoratorHandler`. These changes move the logic into the `TraitCompiler` and `DecorationAnalyzer` so that it applies to all of the handlers.

In some cases TypeScript is unable to identify a valid
symbol for an export. In this case it returns an "unknown"
symbol, which does not reference any declarations.
This fix ensures that ngcc does not crash if such a symbol
is encountered by checking whether `symbol.declarations`
exists before accessing it.
The commit does not contain a unit test as it was not possible
to recreate a scenario that had such an "unknown" symbol in
the unit test environment. The fix has been manually checked
against that original issue; and also this check is equivalent to
similar checks elsewhere in the code, e.g.

The compiler has a translation mechanism to convert from an Angular
`Type` to a `ts.TypeNode`, as appropriate. Prior to this change, it
would translate certain Angular expressions into their value equivalent
in TypeScript, instead of the correct type equivalent. This was possible
as the `ExpressionVisitor` interface is not strictly typed, with `any`s
being used for return values.
For example, a literal object was translated into a
`ts.ObjectLiteralExpression`, containing `ts.PropertyAssignment` nodes
as its entries. This has worked without issues as their printed
representation is identical, however it was incorrect from a semantic
point of view. Instead, a `ts.TypeLiteralNode` is created with
`ts.PropertySignature` as its members, which corresponds with the type
declaration of an object literal.

In Ivy's template type checker, type constructors are created for all
directive types to allow for accurate type inference to work. The type
checker has two strategies for dealing with such type constructors:
1. They can be emitted local to the type check block/type check file.
2. They can be emitted as static `ngTypeCtor` field into the directive
itself.
The first strategy is preferred, as it avoids having to update the
directive type which would cause a more expensive rebuild. However, this
strategy is not suitable for directives that have constrained generic
types, as those constraints would need to be present on the local type
constructor declaration. This is not trivial, as it requires that any
type references within a type parameter's constraint are imported into
the local context of the type check block.
For example, lets consider the `NgForOf` directive from '@angular/core'
looks as follows:
```typescript
import {NgIterable} from '@angular/core';
export class NgForOf<T, U extends NgIterable<T>> {}
```
The type constructor will then have the signature:
`(o: Pick<i1.NgForOf<T, U>, 'ngForOf'>) => i1.NgForOf<T, U>`
Notice how this refers to the type parameters `T` and `U`, so the type
constructor needs to be emitted into a scope where those types are
available, _and_ have the correct constraints.
Previously, the template type checker would detect the situation where a
type parameter is constrained, and would emit the type constructor
using strategy 2; within the directive type itself. This approach makes
any type references within the generic type constraints lexically
available:
```typescript
export class NgForOf<T, U extends NgIterable<T>> {
static ngTypeCtor<T = any, U extends NgIterable<T> = any>
(o: Pick<NgForOf<T, U>, 'ngForOf'>): NgForOf<T, U> { return null!; }
}
```
This commit introduces the ability to emit a type parameter with
constraints into a different context, under the condition that it can
be imported from an absolute module. This allows a generic type
constructor to be emitted into a type check block or type check file
according to strategy 1, as imports have been generated for all type
references within generic type constraints. For example:
```typescript
import * as i0 from '@angular/core';
import * as i1 from '@angular/common';
const _ctor1: <T = any, U extends i0.NgIterable<T> = any>
(o: Pick<i1.NgForOf<T, U>, 'ngForOf'>) => i1.NgForOf<T, U> = null!;
```
Notice how the generic type constraint of `U` has resulted in an import
of `@angular/core`, and the `NgIterable` is transformed into a qualified
name during the emitting process.

Angular View Engine uses global knowledge to compile the following code:
```typescript
export class Base {
constructor(private vcr: ViewContainerRef) {}
}
@Directive({...})
export class Dir extends Base {
// constructor inherited from base
}
```
Here, `Dir` extends `Base` and inherits its constructor. To create a `Dir`
the arguments to this inherited constructor must be obtained via dependency
injection. View Engine is able to generate a correct factory for `Dir` to do
this because via metadata it knows the arguments of `Base`'s constructor,
even if `Base` is declared in a different library.
In Ivy, DI is entirely a runtime concept. Currently `Dir` is compiled with
an ngDirectiveDef field that delegates its factory to `getInheritedFactory`.
This looks for some kind of factory function on `Base`, which comes up
empty. This case looks identical to an inheritance chain with no
constructors, which works today in Ivy.
Both of these cases will now become an error in this commit. If a decorated
class inherits from an undecorated base class, a diagnostic is produced
informing the user of the need to either explicitly declare a constructor or
to decorate the base class.

Previously, ngtsc would perform scope analysis (which directives/pipes are
available inside a component's template) and template type-checking of that
template as separate steps. If a component's scope was somehow invalid (e.g.
its NgModule imported something which wasn't another NgModule), the
component was treated as not having a scope. This meant that during template
type-checking, errors would be produced for any invalid expressions/usage of
other components that should have been in the scope.
This commit changes ngtsc to skip template type-checking of a component if
its scope is erroneous (as opposed to not present in the first place). Thus,
users aren't overwhelmed with diagnostic errors for the template and are
only informed of the root cause of the problem: an invalid NgModule scope.

The template type checker generates TypeScript expressions for any
expression that occurs in a template, so that TypeScript can check it
and produce errors. Some expressions as they occur in a template may be
translated into TypeScript code multiple times, for instance a binding
to a directive input that has a template guard.
One example would be the `NgIf` directive, which has a template guard to
narrow the type in the template as appropriate. Given the following
template:
```typescript
@Component({
template: '<div *ngIf="person">{{ person.name }}</div>'
})
class AppComponent {
person?: { name: string };
}
```
A type check block (TCB) with roughly the following structure is
created:
```typescript
function tcb(ctx: AppComponent) {
const t1 = NgIf.ngTypeCtor({ ngIf: ctx.person });
if (ctx.person) {
"" + ctx.person.name;
}
}
```
Notice how the `*ngIf="person"` binding is present twice: once in the
type constructor call and once in the `if` guard. As such, TypeScript
will check both instances and would produce duplicate errors, if any
were found.
Another instance is when the safe navigation operator is used, where an
expression such as `person?.name` is emitted into the TCB as
`person != null ? person!.name : undefined`. As can be seen, the
left-hand side expression `person` occurs twice in the TCB.
This commit adds the ability to insert markers into the TCB that
indicate that any errors within the expression should be ignored. This
is similar to `@ts-ignore`, however it can be applied more granularly.

start of the file. This information is now directly available on an

A quirk of the Angular template parser is that when parsing templates in the
"default" mode, with options specified by the user, the source mapping
information in the template AST may be inaccurate. As a result, the compiler
parses the template twice: once for "emit" and once to produce an AST with
accurate sourcemaps for diagnostic production.
Previously, only the first parse was performed during analysis. The second
parse occurred during the template type-checking phase, just in time to
produce the template type-checking file.
However, with the reuse of analysis results during incremental builds, it
makes more sense to do the diagnostic parse eagerly during analysis so that
the work isn't unnecessarily repeated in subsequent builds. This commit
refactors the `ComponentDecoratorHandler` to do both parses eagerly, which
actually cleans up some complexity around template parsing as well.

Previously, the compiler performed an incremental build by analyzing and
resolving all classes in the program (even unchanged ones) and then using
the dependency graph information to determine which .js files were stale and
needed to be re-emitted. This algorithm produced "correct" rebuilds, but the
cost of re-analyzing the entire program turned out to be higher than
anticipated, especially for component-heavy compilations.
To achieve performant rebuilds, it is necessary to reuse previous analysis
results if possible. Doing this safely requires knowing when prior work is
viable and when it is stale and needs to be re-done.
The new algorithm implemented by this commit is such:
1) Each incremental build starts with knowledge of the last known good
dependency graph and analysis results from the last successful build,
plus of course information about the set of files changed.
2) The previous dependency graph's information is used to determine the
set of source files which have "logically" changed. A source file is
considered logically changed if it or any of its dependencies have
physically changed (on disk) since the last successful compilation. Any
logically unchanged dependencies have their dependency information copied
over to the new dependency graph.
3) During the `TraitCompiler`'s loop to consider all source files in the
program, if a source file is logically unchanged then its previous
analyses are "adopted" (and their 'register' steps are run). If the file
is logically changed, then it is re-analyzed as usual.
4) Then, incremental build proceeds as before, with the new dependency graph
being used to determine the set of files which require re-emitting.
This analysis reuse avoids template parsing operations in many circumstances
and significantly reduces the time it takes ngtsc to rebuild a large
application.
Future work will increase performance even more, by tackling a variety of
other opportunities to reuse or avoid work.

Previously 'analyze' in the various `DecoratorHandler`s not only extracts
information from the decorators on the classes being analyzed, but also has
several side effects within the compiler:
* it can register metadata about the types involved in global metadata
trackers.
* it can register information about which .ngfactory symbols are actually
needed.
In this commit, these side-effects are moved into a new 'register' phase,
which runs after the 'analyze' step. Currently this is a no-op refactoring
as 'register' is always called directly after 'analyze'. In the future this
opens the door for re-use of prior analysis work (with only 'register' being
called, to apply the above side effects).
Also as part of this refactoring, the reification of NgModule scope
information into the incremental dependency graph is moved to the

Prior to this commit, the `IvyCompilation` tracked the state of each matched
`DecoratorHandler` on each class in the `ts.Program`, and how they
progressed through the compilation process. This tracking was originally
simple, but had grown more complicated as the compiler evolved. The state of
each specific "target" of compilation was determined by the nullability of
a number of fields on the object which tracked it.
This commit formalizes the process of compilation of each matched handler
into a new "trait" concept. A trait is some aspect of a class which gets
created when a `DecoratorHandler` matches the class. It represents an Ivy
aspect that needs to go through the compilation process.
Traits begin in a "pending" state and undergo transitions as various steps
of compilation take place. The `IvyCompilation` class is renamed to the
`TraitCompiler`, which manages the state of all of the traits in the active
program.
Making the trait concept explicit will support future work to incrementalize
the expensive analysis process of compilation.

code patterns where using `ModuleWithProviders` as return type is

The metadata collector for View Engine compilations emits error symbols
for static class members that have not been initialized, which prevents
a library from building successfully when `strictMetadataEmit` is
enabled, which is recommended for libraries to avoid issues in library
consumers. This is troublesome for libraries that are adopting static
members for the Ivy template type checker: these members don't need a
value assignment as only their type is of importance, however this
causes metadata errors. As such, a library used to be required to
initialize the special static members to workaround this error,
undesirably introducing a code-size overhead in terms of emitted
JavaScript code.

specify static members to allow a wider type for some input:
```typescript
export class MatSelect {

```
This allows a binding to the `MatSelect.disabled` input to be of type
boolean or string, whereas the `disabled` property itself is only of
type boolean.
Up until now, any static `ngAcceptInputType_*` property was not
inherited for subclasses of a directive class. This is cumbersome, as
the directive's inputs are inherited, so any acceptance member should as
well. To resolve this limitation, this commit extends the flattening of

NgModules in Ivy have a definition which contains various different bits
of metadata about the module. In particular, this metadata falls into two
categories:
* metadata required to use the module at runtime (for bootstrapping, etc)
in AOT-only applications.
* metadata required to depend on the module from a JIT-compiled app.
The latter metadata consists of the module's declarations, imports, and
exports. To support JIT usage, this metadata must be included in the
generated code, especially if that code is shipped to NPM. However, because
this metadata preserves the entire NgModule graph (references to all
directives and components in the app), it needs to be removed during
optimization for AOT-only builds.
Previously, this was done with a clever design:
1. The extra metadata was added by a function called `setNgModuleScope`.
A call to this function was generated after each NgModule.
2. This function call was marked as "pure" with a comment and used
`noSideEffects` internally, which causes optimizers to remove it.
The effect was that in dev mode or test mode (which use JIT), no optimizer
runs and the full NgModule metadata was available at runtime. But in
production (presumably AOT) builds, the optimizer runs and removes the JIT-
specific metadata.
However, there are cases where apps that want to use JIT in production, and
still make an optimized build. In this case, the JIT-specific metadata would
be erroneously removed. This commit solves that problem by adding an
`ngJitMode` global variable which guards all `setNgModuleScope` calls. An
optimizer can be configured to statically define this global to be `false`
for AOT-only builds, causing the extra metadata to be stripped.
A configuration for Terser used by the CLI is provided in `tooling.ts` which
sets `ngJitMode` to `false` when building AOT apps.

The Ivy template type-checker is capable of inferring the type of a
structural directive (such as NgForOf<T>). Previously, this was done with
fullTemplateTypeCheck: true, even if strictTemplates was false. View Engine
previously did not do this inference, and so this causes breakages if the
type of the template context is not what the user expected.
In particular, consider the template:
```html
<div *ngFor="let user of users as all">
{{user.index}} out of {{all.length}}
</div>

As long as `users` is an array, this seems reasonable, because it appears
that `all` is an alias for the `users` array. However, this is misleading.
In reality, `NgForOf` is rendered with a template context that contains
both a `$implicit` value (for the loop variable `user`) as well as a
`ngForOf` value, which is the actual value assigned to `all`. The type of
`NgForOf`'s template context is `NgForContext<T>`, which declares `ngForOf`'s
type to be `NgIterable<T>`, which does not have a `length` property (due to
its incorporation of the `Iterable` type).
This commit stops the template type-checker from inferring template context
types unless strictTemplates is set (and strictInputTypes is not disabled).
Fixes#33527.

This commit changes the reporting of watch mode diagnostics for ngtsc to use
the same formatting as non-watch mode diagnostics. This prints rich and
contextual errors even in watch mode, which previously was not the case.
