The `annotations` package in the compiler previously contained a registry
which tracks NgModule scopes for template type-checking, including unifying
all type-checking metadata across class inheritance lines.
This commit generalizes this utility and prepares it for use in the
`TemplateTypeChecker` as well, to back APIs used by the language service.

Prior to this change, the `setClassMetadata` call would be invoked
inside of an IIFE that was marked as pure. This allows the call to be
tree-shaken away in production builds, as the `setClassMetadata` call
is only present to make the original class metadata available to the
testing infrastructure. The pure marker is problematic, though, as the
`setClassMetadata` call does in fact have the side-effect of assigning
the metadata into class properties. This has worked under the assumption
that only build optimization tools perform tree-shaking, however modern
bundlers are also able to elide calls that have been marked pure so this
assumption does no longer hold. Instead, an `ngDevMode` guard is used
which still allows the call to be elided but only by tooling that is
configured to consider `ngDevMode` as constant `false` value.

Add a TaggedTemplateExpr to represent tagged template literals in
Angular's syntax tree (more specifically Expression in output_ast.ts).
Also update classes that implement ExpressionVisitor to add support for
tagged template literals in different contexts, such as JIT compilation
and conversion to JS.
Partial support for tagged template literals had already been
implemented to support the $localize tag used by Angular's i18n
framework. Where applicable, this code was refactored to support
arbitrary tags, although completely replacing the i18n-specific support
for the $localize tag with the new generic support for tagged template
literals may not be completely trivial, and is left as future work.

When the compiler is invoked via ngc or the Angular CLI, its APIs are used
under the assumption that Angular analysis/diagnostics are only requested if
the program has no TypeScript-level errors. A result of this assumption is
that the incremental engine has not needed to resolve changes via its
dependency graph when the program contained broken imports, since broken
imports are a TypeScript error.
The Angular Language Service for Ivy is using the compiler as a backend, and
exercising its incremental compilation APIs without enforcing this
assumption. As a result, the Language Service has run into issues where
broken imports cause incremental compilation to fail and produce incorrect
results.
This commit introduces a mechanism within the compiler to keep track of
files for which dependency analysis has failed, and to always treat such
files as potentially affected by future incremental steps. This is tested
via the Language Service infrastructure to ensure that the compiler is doing
the right thing in the case of invalid imports.
PR Close#39923
To avoid overwhelming a user with secondary diagnostics that derive from a
"root cause" error, the compiler has the notion of a "poisoned" NgModule.
An NgModule becomes poisoned when its declaration contains semantic errors:
declarations which are not components or pipes, imports which are not other
NgModules, etc. An NgModule also becomes poisoned if it imports or exports
another poisoned NgModule.
Previously, the compiler tracked this poisoned status as an alternate state
for each scope. Either a correct scope could be produced, or the entire
scope would be set to a sentinel error value. This meant that the compiler
would not track any information about a scope that was determined to be in
error.
This method presents several issues:
1. The compiler is unable to support the language service and return results
when a component or its module scope is poisoned.
This is fine for compilation, since diagnostics will be produced showing the
error(s), but the language service needs to still work for incorrect code.
2. `getComponentScopes()` does not return components with a poisoned scope,
which interferes with resource tracking of incremental builds.
If the component isn't included in that list, then the NgModule for it will
not have its dependencies properly tracked, and this can cause future
incremental build steps to produce incorrect results.
This commit changes the tracking of poisoned module scopes to use a flag on
the scope itself, rather than a sentinel value that replaces the scope. This
means that the scope itself will still be tracked, even if it contains
semantic errors. A test is added to the language service which verifies that
poisoned scopes can still be used in template type-checking.
PR Close#39923
Previously, if a trait's analysis step resulted in diagnostics, the trait
would be considered "errored" and no further operations, including register,
would be performed. Effectively, this meant that the compiler would pretend
the class in question was actually undecorated.
However, this behavior is problematic for several reasons:
1. It leads to inaccurate diagnostics being reported downstream.
For example, if a component is put into the error state, for example due to
a template error, the NgModule which declares the component would produce a
diagnostic claiming that the declaration is neither a directive nor a pipe.
This happened because the compiler wouldn't register() the component trait,
so the component would not be recorded as actually being a directive.
2. It can cause incorrect behavior on incremental builds.
This bug is more complex, but the general issue is that if the compiler
fails to associate a component and its module, then incremental builds will
not correctly re-analyze the module when the component's template changes.
Failing to register the component as such is one link in the larger chain of
issues that result in these kinds of issues.
3. It lumps together diagnostics produced during analysis and resolve steps.
This is not causing issues currently as the dependency graph ensures the
right classes are re-analyzed when needed, instead of showing stale
diagnostics. However, the dependency graph was not intended to serve this
role, and could potentially be optimized in ways that would break this
functionality.
This commit removes the concept of an "errored" trait entirely from the
trait system. Instead, analyzed and resolved traits have corresponding (and
separate) diagnostics, in addition to potentially `null` analysis results.
Analysis (but not resolution) diagnostics are carried forward during
incremental build operations. Compilation (emit) is only performed when
a trait reaches the resolved state with no diagnostics.
This change is functionally different than before as the `register` step is
now performed even in the presence of analysis errors, as long as analysis
results are also produced. This fixes problem 1 above, and is part of the
larger solution to problem 2.

Previously, UMD/CommonJS class inline declarations of the form:

Previously, inline exports of the form `exports.foo = <implementation>;` were
being interpreted (by the ngtsc `PartialInterpeter`) as `Reference` objects.

```
exports.directives = [Directive1, Directive2];

was a reference rather than an array that needs to be unpacked.

When ngcc is configured to run with the `--use-program-dependencies`
flag, as is the case in the CLI's asynchronous processing, it will scan
all source files in the program, starting from the program's root files
as configured in the tsconfig. Each individual root file could
potentially rescan files that had already been scanned for an earlier
root file, causing a severe performance penalty if the number of root
files is large. This would be the case if glob patterns are used in the
"include" specification of a tsconfig file.
This commit avoids the performance penalty by keeping track of the files
that have been scanned across all root files, such that no source file
is scanned multiple times.

function Foo() {}

Such inline classes were ignored and not processed by ngcc.

on UMD formats of libraries such as `syncfusion/ej2-angular-ui-components`.
Now all known inline UMD exports are recognized and processed accordingly.

Previously the `ConcreteDeclaration` and `InlineDeclaration` had
different properties for the underlying node type. And the `InlineDeclaration`
did not store a value that represented its declaration.
It turns out that a natural declaration node for an inline type is the
expression. For example in UMD/CommonJS this would be the `exports.<name>`
property access node.
So this expression is now used for the `node` of `InlineDeclaration` types

In #38666 we changed how ngcc deals with type expressions, where it
would now always emit the original type expression into the generated
code as a "local" type value reference instead of synthesizing new
imports using an "imported" type value reference. This was done as a fix
to properly deal with renamed symbols, however it turns out that the
compiler has special handling for certain imported symbols, e.g.
`ChangeDetectorRef` from `@angular/core`. The "local" type value
reference prevented this special logic from being hit, resulting in
incorrect compilation of pipe factories.

type expression, in order to return an "imported" type value reference.

Recent optimizations to ngcc have significantly reduced the total time
it takes to process `node_modules`, to such extend that sharding across
multiple processes has become less effective. Previously, running
ngcc asynchronously would allow for up to 8 workers to be allocated,
however these workers have to repeat work that could otherwise be shared.
Because ngcc is now able to reuse more shared computations, the overhead
of multiple workers is increased and therefore becomes less effective.
As an additional benefit, having fewer workers requires less memory and
less startup time.
To give an idea, using the following test setup:
```bash
npx @angular/cli new perf-test
cd perf-test
yarn ng add @angular/material
./node_modules/.bin/ngcc --properties es2015 module main \
--first-only --create-ivy-entry-points

use the environment variable `NGCC_MAX_WORKERS` that may be configured

ngcc creates typically two `ts.Program` instances for each entry-point,
one for processing sources and another one for processing the typings.
The creation of these programs is somewhat expensive, as it concerns
module resolution and parsing of source files.
This commit implements several layers of caching to optimize the
creation of programs:
1. A shared module resolution cache across all entry-points within a
single invocation of ngcc. Both the sources and typings program
benefit from this cache.
2. Sharing the parsed `ts.SourceFile` for a single entry-point between
the sources and typings program.
3. Sharing parsed `ts.SourceFile`s of TypeScript's default libraries
across all entry-points within a single invocation. Some of these
default library typings are large and therefore expensive to parse,
so sharing the parsed source files across all entry-points offers
a significant performance improvement.
Using a bare CLI app created using `ng new` + `ng add @angular/material`,
the above changes offer a 3-4x improvement in ngcc's processing time
when running synchronously and ~2x improvement for asynchronous runs.

In TypeScript 3.8 support was added for type-only imports, which only brings in
the symbol as a type, not their value. The Angular compiler did not yet take
the type-only keyword into account when representing symbols in type positions
as value expressions. The class metadata that the compiler emits would include
the value expression for its parameter types, generating actual imports as
necessary. For type-only imports this should not be done, as it introduces an

When ngcc creates an entry-point program, the `allowJs` option is enabled
in order to operate on the JavaScript source files of the entry-point.
A side-effect of this approach is that external modules that don't ship
declaration files will also have their JavaScript source files loaded
into the program, as the `allowJs` flag allows for them to be imported.
This may pose an issue in certain edge cases, where ngcc would inadvertently
operate on these external modules. This can introduce all sorts of undesirable
behavior and incompatibilities, e.g. the reflection host that is selected for
the entry-point's format could be incompatible with that of the external
module's JavaScript bundles.
To avoid these kinds of issues, module resolution that would resolve to
a JavaScript file located outside of the package will instead be rejected,
as if the file would not exist. This would have been the behavior when
`allowJs` is set to false, which is the case in typical Angular compilations.
