When parsing interpolations, if we encounter an empty interpolation
(`{{}}`), the current code uses a "pretend" value of `$implicit` for the
name as if the interplotion were really `{{$implicit}}`. This is
problematic because the spans are then incorrect downstream since they
are based off of the `$implicit` text.
This commit changes the interpretation of empty interpolations so that
the text is simply an empty string.

The Language Service uses the source span of AST nodes to recognize which
node a user has selected, given their cursor position in a template. This is
used to trigger autocompletion.
The previous source span of BindingPipe nodes created a problem when:
1) the pipe binding had no identifier (incomplete or in-progress expression)
2) the user typed trailing whitespace after the pipe character ('|')
For example, the expression `{{foo | }}`. If the cursor preceded the '}' in
that expression, the Language Service was unable to detect that the user was
autocompleting the BindingPipe expression, since the span of the BindingPipe
ended after the '|'.
This commit changes the expression parser to expand the span of BindingPipe
expressions with a missing identifier, to include any trailing whitespace.
This allows the Language Service to correctly recognize this case as
targeting the BindingPipe and complete it successfully. The `nameSpan` of
the BindingPipe is also moved to be right-aligned with the end of any
whitespace present in the pipe binding expression.
This change allows for the disabled test in the Language Service for pipe
completion in this case to be re-enabled.

Currently we check whether a property binding contains an interpolation using a regex so
that we can throw an error. The problem is that the regex doesn't account for quotes
which means that something like `[prop]="'{{ foo }}'"` will be considered an error, even
though it's not actually an interpolation.
These changes build on top of the logic from #39826 to account for interpolation
characters inside quotes.
Fixes#39601.
PR Close#40267
Currently the compiler treats something like `{{ '{{a}}' }}` as a nested
binding and throws an error, because it doesn't account for quotes
when it looks for binding characters. These changes add a bit of
logic to skip over text inside quotes when parsing.
Fixes#39601.

When parsing for i18n messages, interpolated strings are
split into `Text` and `Placeholder` pieces. The method that
does this `_visitTextWithInterpolation()` was becoming too
complex. This commit refactors that method along with some
associated functions that it uses.
PR Close#39717
Currently expressions `$event.foo()` and `this.$event.foo()`, as well as `$any(foo)` and
`this.$any(foo)`, are treated as the same expression by the compiler, because `this` is considered
the same implicit receiver as when the receiver is omitted. This introduces the following issues:
1. Any time something called `$any` is used, it'll be stripped away, leaving only the first parameter.
2. If something called `$event` is used anywhere in a template, it'll be preserved as `$event`,
rather than being rewritten to `ctx.$event`, causing the value to undefined at runtime. This
applies to listener, property and text bindings.
These changes resolve the first issue and part of the second one by preserving anything that
is accessed through `this`, even if it's one of the "special" ones like `$any` or `$event`.
Furthermore, these changes only expose the `$event` global variable inside event listeners,
whereas previously it was available everywhere.
Fixes#30278.

This commit handles the following cases:
- incomplete pipes in a pipe chain
- incomplete arguments in a pipe chain
- incomplete arguments provided to a pipe
- nested pipes
The idea is to unconditionally recover on the presence of a pipe, which
should be okay because expression parsing can be independently between
pipes.

Prior to this change, expressions within ICUs would have a source span
corresponding with the whole ICU. This commit narrows down the source
spans of these expressions to the exact location in the source file, as
a prerequisite for reporting type check errors within these expressions.

This patch refactors the interpolation parser to do so iteratively
rather than using a regex. Doing so prepares us for supporting granular
recovery on poorly-formed interpolations, for example when an
interpolation does not terminate (`{{ 1 + 2`) or is not terminated
properly (`{{ 1 + 2 {{ 2 + 3 }}`).

This patch adds support for recovering well-formed (and near-complete)
ASTs for semantically malformed keyed reads and keyed writes. See the
added tests for details on the types of semantics we can now recover;
in particular, notice that some assumptions are made about the form of
a keyed read/write intended by a user. For example, in the malformed
expression `a[1 + = 2`, we assume that the user meant to write a binary
expression for the key of `a`, and assign that key the value `2`. In
particular, we now parse this as `a[1 + <empty expression>] = 2`. There
are some different interpretations that can be made here, but I think
this is reasonable.
The actual changes in the parser code are fairly minimal (a nice
surprise!); the biggest addition is a `writeContext` that marks whether
the `=` operator can serve as a recovery point after error detection.

Prior to this change, the unary + and - operators would be parsed as `x - 0`
and `0 - x` respectively. The runtime semantics of these expressions are
equivalent, however they may introduce inaccurate template type checking
errors as the literal type is lost, for example:
```ts
@Component({
template: `<button [disabled]="isAdjacent(-1)"></button>`
})
export class Example {
isAdjacent(direction: -1 | 1): boolean { return false; }
}
```
would incorrectly report a type-check error:
> error TS2345: Argument of type 'number' is not assignable to parameter
of type '-1 | 1'.
Additionally, the translated expression for the unary + operator would be
considered as arithmetic expression with an incompatible left-hand side:
> error TS2362: The left-hand side of an arithmetic operation must be of
type 'any', 'number', 'bigint' or an enum type.
To resolve this issues, the implicit transformation should be avoided.
This commit adds a new unary AST node to represent these expressions,
allowing for more accurate type-checking.

ASTs for property read and method calls contain information about
the entire span of the expression, including its receiver. Use cases
like a language service and compile error messages may be more
interested in the span of the direct identifier for which the
expression is constructed (i.e. an accessed property). To support this,
this commit adds a `nameSpan` property on
- `PropertyRead`s
- `SafePropertyRead`s
- `PropertyWrite`s
- `MethodCall`s
- `SafeMethodCall`s
The `nameSpan` property already existed for `BindingPipe`s.
This commit also updates usages of these expressions' `sourceSpan`s in
Ngtsc and the langauge service to use `nameSpan`s where appropriate.

This commit adds fine-grained text spans to TemplateBinding for microsyntax expressions.
1. Source span
By convention, source span refers to the entire span of the binding,
including its key and value.
2. Key span
Span of the binding key, without any whitespace or keywords like `let`
The value span is captured by the value expression AST.
This is part of a series of PRs to fix source span mapping in microsyntax expression.

Pipes in host binding expressions are not supported in View Engine and Ivy, but in some more complex cases (like `(value | pipe) === true`) compiler was not reporting errors. This commit extends Ivy logic to detect pipes in host binding expressions and throw in cases bindings are present. View Engine behavior remains the same.

Previously, the type checker would compute an absolute source span by
combining an expression AST node's `ParseSpan` (relative to the start of
the expression) together with the absolute offset of the expression as
represented in a `ParseSourceSpan`, to arrive at a span relative to the
start of the file. This information is now directly available on an
expression AST node in the `AST.sourceSpan` property, which can be used
instead.

Expressions in an inline template binding are improperly recorded as
spaning an offset calculated from the start of the template binding
attribute key, whereas they should be calculated from the start of the
attribute value, which contains the actual binding AST.

The template parser has a certain interpolation config associated with
it and builds a regular expression each time it needs to extract the
interpolations from an input string. Since the interpolation config is
typically the default of `{{` and `}}`, the regular expression doesn't
have to be recreated each time. Therefore, this commit creates only a
single regular expression instance that is used for the default
configuration.
In a large compilation unit with big templates, computing the regular
expression took circa 275ms. This change reduces this to effectively
zero.

template node that they reside in, not their source file.
Introduce a `sourceSpan` property on expression ASTs that records the

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.
