This commit removes the `NullAstVisitor` and `visitAstChildren` exported
from `packages/compiler/src/expression_parser/ast.ts` because they
contain duplicate and buggy implementation, and their use cases could be
sufficiently covered by `RecursiveAstVisitor` if the latter implements the
`visit` method. This use case is only needed in the language service.
With this change, any visitor that extends `RecursiveAstVisitor` could
just define their own `visit` function and the parent class will behave
correctly.
A bit of historical context:
In language service, we need a way to tranverse the expression AST in a
selective manner based on where the user's cursor is. This means we need a
"filtering" function to decide which node to visit and which node to not
visit. Instead of refactoring `RecursiveAstVisitor` to support this,
`visitAstChildren` was created. `visitAstChildren` duplicates the
implementation of `RecursiveAstVisitor`, but introduced some bugs along
the way. For example, in `visitKeyedWrite`, it visits
```
obj -> key -> obj
```
instead of
```
obj -> key -> value
```
Moreover, because of the following line
```
visitor.visit && visitor.visit(ast, context) || ast.visit(visitor, context);
```
`visitAstChildren` visits every node *twice*.

The only test case for `ngFor` exercises an incorrect usage which causes
two bound attributes to be generated . This commit adds a canonical and
correct usage to show the difference between the two.
PR Close#35671
Currently, would-be binding attributes that are missing binding names
are not parsed as bindings, and fall through as regular attributes. In
some cases, this can lead to a runtime error; trying to assign `#` as a
DOM attribute in an element like in `<div #></div>` fails because `#` is
not a valid attribute name.
Attributes composed of binding prefixes but not defining a binding
should be considered invalid, as this almost certainly indicates an
unintentional elision of a binding by the developer. This commit
introduces error reporting for attributes with a binding name prefix but
no actual binding name.

NOTE: This change must be reverted with previous deletes so that it code remains in build-able state.
This change deletes old styling code and replaces it with a simplified styling algorithm.
The mental model for the new algorithm is:
- Create a linked list of styling bindings in the order of priority. All styling bindings ere executed in compiled order and than a linked list of bindings is created in priority order.
- Flush the style bindings at the end of `advance()` instruction. This implies that there are two flush events. One at the end of template `advance` instruction in the template. Second one at the end of `hostBindings` `advance` instruction when processing host bindings (if any).
- Each binding instructions effectively updates the string to represent the string at that location. Because most of the bindings are additive, this is a cheap strategy in most cases. In rare cases the strategy requires removing tokens from the styling up to this point. (We expect that to be rare case)S Because, the bindings are presorted in the order of priority, it is safe to resume the processing of the concatenated string from the last change binding.

In the past, only the starting index of an expression Token has been
recorded, so a parser could demarkate the span of a token only by the
start locations of two tokens. This may lead to trailing whitespace
being included in the token span:
```html
{{ token1 + token2 }}
^^^^^^^^^ recorded span of `token1`
```
It's also not enough for a parser to determine the end of a token by
adding the length of the token value to the token's start location,
because lexed expression values may not exactly reflect the source code.
For example, `"d\\"e"` is lexed as a string token whose value is `d"e`.
Instead, this commit adds a `end` field to expression tokens. `end`
is one past the last index of the token source code. This will enable a
parser to determine the span of a token just by looking at that token.
This is a breaking change because the contructor interface of `Token`
has changed.

Since i18n messages are mapped to `$localize` tagged template strings,
the "raw" version must be properly escaped. Otherwise TS will throw an

The `:` char is used as a metadata marker in `$localize` messages.
If this char appears in the metadata it must be escaped, as `\:`.
Previously, although the `:` char was being escaped, the TS AST
being generated was not correct and so it was being output double
escaped, which meant that it appeared in the rendered message.
As of TS 3.6.2 the "raw" string can be specified when creating tagged
template AST nodes, so it is possible to correct this.

Prior to this change, namespaced elements such as SVG elements would not

Removes `ngBaseDef` from the compiler and any runtime code that was still referring to it. In the cases where we'd previously generate a base def we now generate a definition for an abstract directive.
PR Close#33264
For abstract directives, i.e. directives without a selector, it may
happen that their constructor is called explicitly from a subclass,
hence its parameters are not required to be valid for Angular's DI
purposes. Prior to this commit however, having an abstract directive
with a constructor that has parameters that are not eligible for
Angular's DI would produce a compilation error.
A similar scenario may occur for `@Injectable`s, where an explicit
`use*` definition allows for the constructor to be irrelevant. For
example, the situation where `useFactory` is specified allows for the
constructor to be called explicitly with any value, so its constructor
parameters are not required to be valid. For `@Injectable`s this is
handled by generating a DI factory function that throws.
This commit implements the same solution for abstract directives, such
that a compilation error is avoided while still producing an error at
runtime if the type is instantiated implicitly by Angular's DI
mechanism.

Previously, we had tested that expressions parsed in a Render3 AST
had correctly-defined absolute spans (spans relative to the entire
template, not the local expression). Sometimes we use Template ASTs
rather than Render3 ASTs, and it's desirable to test for correct
expression spans in the template parser as well.
Adding these tests resolved one bug, similar to the one fixed in
fd4fed14d8, where expressions in the value
of a template attribute were not given an absolute span corresponding to
the start of the attribute name rather than the start of the attribute
value.
The diff on this commit is large, partially because it involves some
structural changes of the template parser testing layout. In particular,
the following is done:
1. Move `createMeta*`-like functions from `template_parser_spec.ts` to
be exported from a new test utility file.
2. Create an `ExpressionSourceHumanizer`, similar to the one created in
b04488d692, to allow convenient testing
of expressions' locations.
3. Create `template_parser_absolute_span_spec.ts`, testing the spans of
expressions parsed by the template parser. This is very similar to
the `r3_ast_absolute_span_spec`.

When computing i18n messages for templates there are two passes.
This is because messages must be computed before any whitespace
is removed. Then on a second pass, the messages must be recreated
but reusing the message ids from the first pass.
Previously ICUs were losing their legacy ids that had been computed
via the first pass. This commit fixes that by keeping track of the
message from the first pass (`previousMessage`) for ICU placeholder
nodes.

In an attempt to be compatible with previous translation files
the Angular compiler was generating instructions that always
included the message id. This was because it was not possible
to accurately re-generate the id from the calls to `$localize()` alone.
In line with https://hackmd.io/EQF4_-atSXK4XWg8eAha2g this
commit changes the compiler so that it only renders ids if they are
"custom" ones provided by the template author.
NOTE:
When translating messages generated by the Angular compiler
from i18n tags in templates, the `$localize.translate()` function
will compute message ids, if no custom id is provided, using a
common digest function that only relies upon the information
available in the `$localize()` calls.
This computed message id will not be the same as the message
ids stored in legacy translation files. Such files will need to be
migrated to use the new common digest function.
This only affects developers who have been trialling `$localize`, have
been calling `loadTranslations()`, and are not exclusively using custom
ids in their templates.

Previously the metadata and placeholder blocks were serialized in
a variety of places. Moreover the code for creating the `LocalizedString`
AST node was doing serialization, which break the separation of concerns.
Now this is all done by the code that renders the AST and is refactored into
helper functions to avoid repeating the behaviour.
PR Close#32867
Now that the `$localize` translations are `MessageId` based the
compiler must render `MessageId`s in its generated `$localize` code.
This is because the `MessageId` used by the compiler is computed
from information that does not get passed through to the `$localize`
tagged string.
For example, the generated code for the following template
```html
<div id="static" i18n-title="m|d" title="introduction"></div>
```
will contain these localization statements
```ts
if (ngI18nClosureMode) {
/**
* @desc d
* @meaning m
*/
const MSG_EXTERNAL_8809028065680254561$$APP_SPEC_TS_1 = goog.getMsg("introduction");
I18N_1 = MSG_EXTERNAL_8809028065680254561$$APP_SPEC_TS_1;
}
else {
I18N_1 = $localize \`:m|d@@8809028065680254561:introduction\`;
}
```
Since `$localize` is not able to accurately regenerate the source-message
(and so the `MessageId`) from the generated code, it must rely upon the
`MessageId` being provided explicitly in the generated code.
The compiler now prepends all localized messages with a "metadata block"
containing the id (and the meaning and description if defined).
Note that this metadata block will also allow translation file extraction
from the compiled code - rather than relying on the legacy ViewEngine
extraction code. (This will be implemented post-v9).
Although these metadata blocks add to the initial code size, compile-time
inlining will completely remove these strings and so will not impact on
production bundle size.
PR Close#32594
The `goog.getMsg()` function requires placeholder names to be camelCased.
This is not the case for `$localize`. Here placeholder names need
match what is serialized to translation files.
Specifically such placeholder names keep their casing but have all characters

This commit changes the Angular compiler (ivy-only) to generate `$localize`
tagged strings for component templates that use `i18n` attributes.
BREAKING CHANGE
Since `$localize` is a global function, it must be included in any applications
that use i18n. This is achieved by importing the `@angular/localize` package
into an appropriate bundle, where it will be executed before the renderer
needs to call `$localize`. For CLI based projects, this is best done in
the `polyfills.ts` file.
```ts
import '@angular/localize';
```
For non-CLI applications this could be added as a script to the index.html
file or another suitable script file.

Similar to interpolation, we do not want to completely remove whitespace
nodes that are siblings of an expansion.
For example, the following template
```html
<div>
<strong>items left<strong> {count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}
</div>
```
was being collapsed to
```html
<div><strong>items left<strong>{count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}</div>
```
which results in the text looking like
```
items left4
```
instead it should be collapsed to
```html
<div><strong>items left<strong> {count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}</div>
```
which results in the text looking like
```
items left 4
```
