Generally, the compiler assumes that `ts.SourceFile`s are immutable objects.
If a new `ts.Program` is compared to an old one, and a `ts.SourceFile`
within that program has not changed its object identity, the compiler will
assume that its prior analysis and understanding of that source file is
still valid.
However, not all TypeScript workflows uphold this assumption. For
`ts.Program`s that originate from the `ts.LanguageService`, some source
files may be re-parsed or otherwise undergo mutations without changing their
object identity. This breaks the compiler's incremental workflow.
Within such environments, it's necessary to track source file changes
differently. In addition to object identity, it's necessary to compare a
"version" string associated with each source file, between when that file is
analyzed originally and when a new program is presented that still contains
it. It's possible for the object identity of the source file to be the same,
but the version string to have changed, indicating that the source file
should be treated as changed.
This commit adds an optional method `getSourceFileVersion` to the
`ProgramDriver`, to provide access to version information if available. When
this method is present, the compiler will build a map of source file version
strings, and use this map to augment identity comparison during incremental
compilation.

This commit replaces the `IncrementalDriver` abstraction which powered
incremental compilation in the compiler with a new `IncrementalCompilation`
design. Principally, it separates two concerns which were tied together in
the previous implementation:
1. Tracking the reusable state of a compilation at any given point that
could be reused in a subsequent future compilation.
2. Making use of a prior compilation's state to accelerate the current one.
The new abstraction adds explicit tracking and types to deal with both of
these concerns separately, which greatly reduces the complexity of the state
tracking that `IncrementalDriver` used to perform.

The compiler frequently translates TypeScript source file `fileName` strings
into absolute paths, via a `fs.resolve()` operation. This is often done via
the helper function `absoluteFromSourceFile`.
This commit adds a caching mechanism whereby the `AbsoluteFsPath` of a
source file is patched onto the object under an Angular-specific symbol
property, allowing the compiler to avoid resolving the path on subsequent
calls.

This commit changes `getTemplateAtTarget` to be able to identify when a
cursor position is specifically within the argument span of a `MethodCall`
or `SafeMethodCall` with no arguments. If the call had arguments, one of the
argument expressions would be returned instead, but in a call with no
arguments the tightest node _is_ the `MethodCall`. Adding the additional
argument context will allow for functionality that relies on tracking
argument positions, like `getSignatureHelpItems`.

`EmptyExpr` is somewhat unique, in that it's constructed in a circumstance
where the parser has been looking for a particular token or string of tokens
and has failed to find any. This means the parser state when constructing
`EmptyExpr` is fairly unique.
This gives rise to a bug where the parser constructs `EmptyExpr` with a
backwards span - a `start` value that's beyond the `end` value. This likely
happens because of the strange state the parser is in when recovering with
`EmptyExpr`.
This commit adds a backstop/workaround to avoid constructing such broken
`EmptyExpr` spans (or any other kind of span). Eventually, the parser state
should be fixed such that this does not occur, but that requires a
significant change to the parser's functionality, so a simple fix in th
interim is in order.

This commit adds a separate span to `MethodCall` and `SafeMethodCall` which
tracks the text span between the `(` and `)` tokens of the call. Tools like

When an Ivy NgModule is imported into a View Engine build, it doesn't have
metadata.json files that describe it as an NgModule, so it appears to VE
builds as a plain, undecorated class. The error message shown in this
situation generic and confusing, since it recommends adding an @NgModule
annotation to a class from a library.
This commit adds special detection into the View Engine compiler to give a
more specific error message when an Ivy NgModule is imported.

Fix unexpected error when following the tutorial (when going through it with stricter type checking enforced). While (+) converts a string to an integer, it does not account for the possibility that `this.route.snapshot.paramMap.get('id')` could return null (type: string | null). Since this null case is not a practical outcome, it is a matter of types; switching from (+) to the `Number` function eliminates this issue, making the tutorial more robust.

In the compiler, the `NgtscProgram` is responsible for creating the
`ts.Program` instance to use, potentially using a `ts.Program` from a
prior compilation to enable incremental compilation. It used to track
a `reuseTsProgram` for this purpose, however the `ts.Program` that
should be used as reuse program is also tracked by the `NgCompiler`
instance that is used by `NgtscProgram`. The `NgtscProgram` can leverage
the state from `NgCompiler` instead of keeping track of it by itself.

When multiple occurrences of the same package exist within a single
TypeScript compilation unit, TypeScript deduplicates the source files
by introducing redirected source file proxies. Such proxies are
recreated during an incremental compilation even if the original
declaration file did not change, which caused the compiler not to reuse
any work from the prior compilation.
This commit changes the incremental driver to recognize a redirected
source file and treat them as their unredirected source file.
PR Close#41448
In environments such as the Language Service where inline type-checking code
is not supported, the compiler would previously produce a diagnostic when a
template would require inlining to check. This happened whenever its
component class had generic parameters with bounds that could not be safely
reproduced in an external TCB. However, this created a bad user experience
for the Language Service, as its features would then not function with such
templates.
Instead, this commit changes the compiler to use the same strategy for
inline TCBs as it does for inline type constructors - falling back to `any`
for generic types when inlining isn't available. This allows the LS to
support such templates with slightly weaker type-checking semantics, which
a test verifies. There is still a case where components that aren't
exported require an inline TCB, and the compiler will still generate a
diagnostic if so.

Previously, the `DefaultImportRecorder` interface was used as follows:
1. During the analysis phase, the default import declaration of an
identifier was recorded.
2. During the emit phase each emitted identifier would be recorded.
The information from step 1 would then be used to determine the
default import declaration of the identifier which would be
registered as used.
3. A TypeScript transform would taint all default imports that were
registered as used in step 2 such that the imports are not elided
by TypeScript.
In incremental compilations, a file may have to be emitted even if its
analysis data has been reused from the prior compilation. This would
mean that step 1 is not executed, resulting in a mismatch in step 2 and
ultimately in incorrectly eliding the default. This was mitigated by
storing the mapping from identifier to import declaration on the
`ts.SourceFile` instead of a member of `DefaultImportTracker` such that
it would also be visible to the `DefaultImportRecorder` of subsequent
compiles even if step 1 had not been executed.
Ultimately however, the information that is being recorded into the
`DefaultImportRecorder` has a longer lifetime than a single
`DefaultImportRecorder` instance, as that is only valid during a single
compilation whereas the identifier to import declaration mapping
outlives a single compilation. This commit replaces the registration of
this mapping by attaching the default import declaration on the output
AST node that captures the identifier. This enables the removal of
all of the `DefaultImportRecorder` usages throughout the analysis phase
together with the `DefaultImportRecorder` interface itself.
PR Close#41557
The Angular compiler has to actively keep default import statements
alive if they were only used in type-only positions, but have been
emitted as value expressions for DI purposes. A problem occurred in
incremental recompilations, where the relationship between an identifier
usage and its corresponding default import would not be considered. This
could result in the removal of the default import statement and caused
a `ReferenceError` at runtime.
This commit fixes the issue by storing the association from an
identifier to its default import declaration on the source file itself,
instead of within the `DefaultImportTracker` instance. The
`DefaultImportTracker` instance is only valid for a single compilation,
whereas the association from an identifier to a default import
declaration is valid as long as the `ts.SourceFile` is the same
instance.
A subsequent commit refactor the `DefaultImportTracker` to no longer
be responsible for registering the association, as its lifetime is
conceptually too short to do so.

The `emitDecoratorMetadata` compiler option does not have to be enabled
as Angular decorators are transformed by the AOT compiler. Having the
option enabled in our tests can hide issues around import preservation,
as with `emitDecoratorMetadata` enabled the TypeScript compiler itself
does not elide imports even if they are only used in type-positions.
This is unlike having `emitDecoratorMetadata` disabled, however; in that
case the Angular compiler has to actively trick TypeScript into
retaining default imports when an identifier in a type-only position has
been reified into a value position for DI purposes.
A subsequent commit addresses a bug in default import preservation
that relies on this flag being `false`.

This commit marks the `compilationMode` compiler option as stable, such
that libraries can be compiled in partial compilation mode.
In partial compilation mode, the compiler's output changes from fully
compiled AOT definitions to an intermediate form using partial
declarations. This form is suitable to be published to NPM, which now
allows libraries to be compiled and published using the Ivy compiler.
Please be aware that libraries that have been compiled using this mode
can only be used in Angular 12 applications and up; they cannot be used
when Ivy is disabled (i.e. when using View Engine) or in versions of
Angular prior to 12. The `compilationMode` option has no effect if
`enableIvy: false` is used.
