`NgCompiler` previously had a notion of the "next" `ts.Program`, which
served two purposes:
* it allowed a client using the `ts.createProgram` API to query for the
latest program produced by the previous `NgCompiler`, as a starting
point for building the _next_ program that incorporated any new user
changes.
* it allowed the old `NgCompiler` to be queried for the `ts.Program` on
which all prior state is based, which is needed to compute the delta
from the new program to ultimately determine how much of the prior
state can be reused.
This system contained a flaw: it relied on the `NgCompiler` knowing when
the `ts.Program` would be changed. This works fine for changes that
originate in `NgCompiler` APIs, but a client of the `TemplateTypeChecker`
may use that API in ways that create new `ts.Program`s without the
`NgCompiler`'s knowledge. This caused the `NgCompiler`'s concept of the
"next" program to get out of sync, causing incorrectness in future
incremental analysis.
This refactoring cleans up the compiler's `ts.Program` management in
several ways:
* `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy`, the API which controls `ts.Program`
updating, is renamed to the `ProgramDriver` and extracted to a separate
ngtsc package.
* It loses its responsibility of determining component shim filenames. That
functionality now lives exclusively in the template type-checking package.
* The "next" `ts.Program` concept is renamed to the "current" program, as
the "next" name was misleading in several ways.
* `NgCompiler` now wraps the `ProgramDriver` used in the
`TemplateTypeChecker` to know when a new `ts.Program` is created,
regardless of which API drove the creation, which actually fixes the bug.

Currently, we throw a FatalDiagnosticError when we fail to load a resource
(`templateUrl` or `styleUrl`) at various stages in the compiler. This prevents
analysis of the component from completing. This will result in in users not being

`styleUrl`, for example.
This commit simply tracks the diagnostic, marks the component as poisoned, and
continues merrily along. Environments configured to use poisoned data
(like the language service) will then be able to use other information from the analysis.

ngtsc has an internal performance tracing package, which previously has not
really seen much use. It used to track performance statistics on a very
granular basis (microseconds per actual class analysis, for example). This
had two problems:
* it produced voluminous amounts of data, complicating the analysis of such
results and providing dubious value.
* it added nontrivial overhead to compilation when used (which also affected
the very performance of the operations being measured).
This commit replaces the old system with a streamlined performance tracing
setup which is lightweight and designed to be always-on. The new system
tracks 3 metrics:
* time taken by various phases and operations within the compiler
* events (counters) which measure the shape and size of the compilation
* memory usage measured at various points of the compilation process
If the compiler option `tracePerformance` is set, the compiler will
serialize these metrics to a JSON file at that location after compilation is
complete.

The Ivy Language Service uses the compiler's template type-checking engine,
which honors the configuration in the user's tsconfig.json. We recommend
that users upgrade to `strictTemplates` mode in their projects to take
advantage of the best possible type inference, and thus to have the best
experience in Language Service.
If a project is not using `strictTemplates`, then the compiler will not
leverage certain type inference options it has. One case where this is very
noticeable is the inference of let- variables for structural directives that
provide a template context guard (such as NgFor). Without `strictTemplates`,
these guards will not be applied and such variables will be inferred as
'any', degrading the user experience within Language Service.
This is working as designed, since the Language Service _should_ reflect
types exactly as the compiler sees them. However, the View Engine Language
Service used its own type system that _would_ infer these types even when
the compiler did not. As a result, it's confusing to some users why the
Ivy Language Service has "worse" type inference.
To address this confusion, this commit implements a suggestion diagnostic
which is shown in the Language Service for variables which could have been
narrowed via a context guard, but the type checking configuration didn't
allow it. This should make the reason why variables receive the 'any' type
as well as the action needed to improve the typings much more obvious,
improving the Language Service experience.

This commit complements the support for the `__spreadArray` helper that
was added in microsoft/TypeScript#41523. The prior helpers `__spread`
and `__spreadArrays` used the `__read` helper internally, but the helper
is now emitted as an argument to `__spreadArray` so ngcc now needs to
support evaluating it statically. The real implementation of `__read`
reads an iterable into an array, but for ngcc's static evaluation
support it is sufficient to only deal with arrays as is. Additionally,
the optional `n` parameter is not supported as that is only emitted for
array destructuring syntax, which ngcc does not have to support.

statically detect these helpers and provide evaluation logic for them.
Because Angular is adopting support for TypeScript 4.2 it becomes
possible for libraries to be compiled by TypeScript 4.2 and thus ngcc
has to add support for the `__spreadArray` helper. The deprecated

BREAKING CHANGE:
Switching default of `emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue`
which changes the default behavior and may cause some applications which
rely on the incorrect behavior to fail.
`emitDistinctChangesOnly` flag has also been deprecated and will be
removed in a future major release.
The previous implementation would fire changes `QueryList.changes.subscribe`
whenever the `QueryList` was recomputed. This resulted in an artificially
high number of change notifications, as it is possible that recomputing
`QueryList` results in the same list. When the `QueryList` gets recomputed
is an implementation detail, and it should not be the thing that determines
how often change event should fire.
Unfortunately, fixing the behavior outright caused too many existing
applications to fail. For this reason, Angular considers this fix a
breaking fix and has introduced a flag in `@ContentChildren` and
`@ViewChildren`, that controls the behavior.
```
export class QueryCompWithStrictChangeEmitParent {
@ContentChildren('foo', {
// This option is the new default with this change.
emitDistinctChangesOnly: true,
})
foos!: QueryList<any>;
}

For backward compatibility before v12
`emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue` was set to `false. This change
changes the default to `true`.

The Angular compiler creates two `ts.Program`s; one for emit and one for
template type-checking. The creation of the type-check program could
benefit from reusing the `ts.ModuleResolutionCache` that was primed

host implements `resolveModuleNames`, as otherwise TypeScript will setup
a `ts.ModuleResolutionHost` of its own for both programs.
This commit ensures that `resolveModuleNames` is always implemented,
even if the originally provided compiler host does not. This is

Previously, injector definitions contained a `factory` property that
was used to create a new instance of the associated NgModule class.
Now this factory has been moved to its own `ɵfac` static property on the
NgModule class itself. This is inline with how directives, components and
pipes are created.
There is a small size increase to bundle sizes for each NgModule class,
because the `ɵfac` takes up a bit more space:
Before:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({factory: function(t) { return new (t || n) }, imports: [[e.a.forChild(s)], e.a]}),
n
})(),
```
After:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275fac = function(t) { return new (t || n) },
n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({imports: [[r.a.forChild(s)], r.a]}),
n
})(),
```
In other words `n.\u0275fac = ` is longer than `factory: ` (by 5 characters)
and only because the tooling insists on encoding `ɵ` as `\u0275`.
This can be mitigated in a future PR by only generating the `ɵfac` property
if it is actually needed.

The compiler performs cycle analysis for the used directives and pipes
of a component's template to avoid introducing a cyclic import into the
generated output. The used directives and pipes are represented by their
output expression which would typically be an `ExternalExpr`; those are
responsible for the generation of an `import` statement. Cycle analysis
needs to determine the `ts.SourceFile` that would end up being imported
by these `ExternalExpr`s, as the `ts.SourceFile` is then checked against
the program's `ImportGraph` to determine if the import is allowed, i.e.
does not introduce a cycle. To accomplish this, the `ExternalExpr` was
dissected and ran through module resolution to obtain the imported
`ts.SourceFile`.
This module resolution step is relatively expensive, as it typically
needs to hit the filesystem. Even in the presence of a module resolution
cache would these module resolution requests generally see cache misses,
as the generated import originates from a file for which the cache has
not previously seen the imported module specifier.
This commit removes the need for the module resolution by wrapping the
generated `Expression` in an `EmittedReference` struct. This allows the
reference emitter mechanism that is responsible for generating the
`Expression` to also communicate from which `ts.SourceFile` the
generated `Expression` would be imported, precluding the need for module
resolution down the road.
PR Close#40948
The import graph scans source files for its import and export statements
to extract the source files that it imports/exports. Such statements
contain a module specifier string and this module specifier used to be
resolved to the actual source file using an explicit module resolution
step. This is especially expensive in incremental rebuilds, as the
module resolution cache has not been primed during program creation
(assuming that the incremental program was able to reuse the module
resolution results from a prior compilation). This meant that all module
resolution requests would have to hit the filesystem, which is
relatively slow.
This commit is able to replace the module resolution with TypeScript's
bound symbol of the module specifier. This symbol corresponds with the
`ts.SourceFile` that is being imported/exported, which is exactly what
the import graph was interested in. As a result, no filesystem accesses
are done anymore.

In Angular programs, changing a file may require other files to be
emitted as well due to implicit NgModule dependencies. For example, if
the selector of a directive is changed then all components that have
that directive in their compilation scope need to be recompiled, as the
change of selector may affect the directive matching results.
Until now, the compiler solved this problem using a single dependency
graph. The implicit NgModule dependencies were represented in this
graph, such that a changed file would correctly also cause other files
to be re-emitted. This approach is limited in a few ways:
1. The file dependency graph is used to determine whether it is safe to
reuse the analysis data of an Angular decorated class. This analysis
data is invariant to unrelated changes to the NgModule scope, but
because the single dependency graph also tracked the implicit
NgModule dependencies the compiler had to consider analysis data as
stale far more often than necessary.
2. It is typical for a change to e.g. a directive to not affect its
public API—its selector, inputs, outputs, or exportAs clause—in which
case there is no need to re-emit all declarations in scope, as their
compilation output wouldn't have changed.
This commit implements a mechanism by which the compiler is able to
determine the impact of a change by comparing it to the prior
compilation. To achieve this, a new graph is maintained that tracks all
public API information of all Angular decorated symbols. During an
incremental compilation this information is compared to the information
that was captured in the most recently succeeded compilation. This
determines the exact impact of the changes to the public API, which
is then used to determine which files need to be re-emitted.
Note that the file dependency graph remains, as it is still used to
track the dependencies of analysis data. This graph does no longer track
the implicit NgModule dependencies, which allows for better reuse of
analysis data.
These changes also fix a bug where template type-checking would fail to
incorporate changes made to a transitive base class of a
directive/component. This used to be a problem because transitive base
classes were not recorded as a transitive dependency in the file
dependency graph, such that prior type-check blocks would erroneously
be reused.
This commit also fixes an incorrectness where a change to a declaration
in NgModule `A` would not cause the declarations in NgModules that
import from NgModule `A` to be re-emitted. This was intentionally
incorrect as otherwise the performance of incremental rebuilds would
have been far worse. This is no longer a concern, as the compiler is now
able to only re-emit when actually necessary.

The current logic in the compiler is to bail when there are errors when
parsing a template into an HTML AST or when there are errors in the i18n
metadata. As a result, a template with these types of parse errors
_will not have any information for the language service_. This is because we
never attempt to conver the HTML AST to a template AST in these
scenarios, so there are no template AST nodes for the language service
to look at for information. In addition, this also means that the errors
are never displayed in the template to the user because there are no
nodes to map the error to.
This commit adds an option to the template parser to temporarily ignore
the html parse and i18n meta errors and always perform the template AST
conversion. At the end, the i18n and HTML parse errors are appended to
the returned errors list. While this seems risky, it at least provides
us with more information than we had before (which was 0) and it's only
done in the context of the language service, when the compiler is
configured to use poisoned data (HTML parse and i18n meta errors can be
interpreted as a "poisoned" template).
