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.

Compiler keeps track of number of slots (`vars`) which are needed for binding instructions. Normally each binding instructions allocates a single slot in the `LView` but styling instructions need to allocate two slots.
PR Close#34616
This change moves information from instructions to declarative position:
- `ɵɵallocHostVars(vars)` => `DirectiveDef.hostVars`
- `ɵɵelementHostAttrs(attrs)` => `DirectiveDef.hostAttrs`
When merging directives it is necessary to know about `hostVars` and `hostAttrs`. Before this change the information was stored in the `hostBindings` function. This was problematic, because in order to get to the information the `hostBindings` would have to be executed. In order for `hostBindings` to be executed the directives would have to be instantiated. This means that the directive instantiation would happen before we had knowledge about the `hostAttrs` and as a result the directive could observe in the constructor that not all of the `hostAttrs` have been applied. This further complicates the runtime as we have to apply `hostAttrs` in parts over many invocations.
`ɵɵallocHostVars` was unnecessarily complicated because it would have to update the `LView` (and Blueprint) while existing directives are already executing. By moving it out of `hostBindings` function we can access it statically and we can create correct `LView` (and Blueprint) in a single pass.
This change only changes how the instructions are generated, but does not change the runtime much. (We cheat by emulating the old behavior by calling `ɵɵallocHostVars` and `ɵɵelementHostAttrs`) Subsequent change will refactor the runtime to take advantage of the static information.

Previously, NgtscProgram lived in the main @angular/compiler-cli package
alongside the legacy View Engine compiler. As a result, the main package
depended on all of the ngtsc internal packages, and a significant portion of
ngtsc logic lived in NgtscProgram.
This commit refactors NgtscProgram and moves the main logic of compilation
into a new 'core' package. The new package defines a new API which enables
implementers of TypeScript compilers (compilers built using the TS API) to
support Angular transpilation as well. It involves a new NgCompiler type
which takes a ts.Program and performs Angular analysis and transformations,
as well as an NgCompilerHost which wraps an input ts.CompilerHost and adds
any extra Angular files.
Together, these two classes are used to implement a new NgtscProgram which
adapts the legacy api.Program interface used by the View Engine compiler
onto operations on the new types. The new NgtscProgram implementation is
significantly smaller and easier to reason about.
The new NgCompilerHost replaces the previous GeneratedShimsHostWrapper which
lived in the 'shims' package.
A new 'resource' package is added to support the HostResourceLoader which
previously lived in the outer compiler package.
As a result of the refactoring, the dependencies of the outer
@angular/compiler-cli package on ngtsc internal packages are significantly
trimmed.
This refactoring was driven by the desire to build a plugin interface to the
compiler so that tsc_wrapped (another consumer of the TS compiler APIs) can
perform Angular transpilation on user request.

This commit fixes a bug in the incremental rebuild engine of ngtsc, where if
a component was removed from its NgModule, it would not be properly
re-emitted.
The bug stemmed from the fact that whether to emit a file was a decision
based purely on the updated dependency graph, which captures the dependency
structure of the rebuild program. This graph has no edge from the component
to its former module (as it was removed, of course), so the compiler
erroneously decides not to emit the component.
The bug here is that the compiler does know, from the previous dependency
graph, that the component file has logically changed, since its previous
dependency (the module file) has changed. This information was not carried
forward into the set of files which need to be emitted, because it was
assumed that the updated dependency graph was a more accurate source of that
information.
With this commit, the set of files which need emit is pre-populated with the
set of logically changed files, to cover edge cases like this.

FileToModuleHost aliasing supports compilation within environments that have
two properties:
1. A `FileToModuleHost` exists which defines canonical module names for any
given TS file.
2. Dependency restrictions exist which prevent the import of arbitrary files
even if such files are within the .d.ts transitive closure of a
compilation ("strictdeps").
In such an environment, generated imports can only go through import paths
which are already present in the user program. The aliasing system supports
the generation and consumption of such imports at runtime.
`FileToModuleHost` aliasing does not emit re-exports in .d.ts files. This
means that it's safe to rely on alias re-exports in generated .js code (they
are guaranteed to exist at runtime) but not in template type-checking code
(since TS will not be able to follow such imports). Therefore, non-aliased
imports should be used in template type-checking code.
This commit adds a `NoAliasing` flag to `ImportFlags` and sets it when
generating imports in template type-checking code. The testing environment
is also patched to support resolution of FileToModuleHost canonical paths
within the template type-checking program, enabling testing of this change.

It's possible to declare multiple inputs for a directive/component which all
map to the same property name. This is usually done in error, as only one of
any bindings to the property will "win".
In the template type-checker, an error was previously being raised as a
result of this ambiguity. Specifically, a type constructor was produced
which required a binding for each field, but only one of the fields had
a value via the binding. TypeScript would (rightfully) error on missing
values for the remaining fields. This ultimately was happening when the
code which generated the default values for "unset" inputs belonging to
directives or pipes used the final mapping from properties to fields as
a source for field names.
Instead, this commit uses the original list of fields to generate unset
input values, which correctly provides values for fields which shared a
property name but didn't receive the final binding.

The compiler has a translation mechanism to convert from an Angular
`Type` to a `ts.TypeNode`, as appropriate. Prior to this change, it
would translate certain Angular expressions into their value equivalent
in TypeScript, instead of the correct type equivalent. This was possible
as the `ExpressionVisitor` interface is not strictly typed, with `any`s
being used for return values.
For example, a literal object was translated into a
`ts.ObjectLiteralExpression`, containing `ts.PropertyAssignment` nodes
as its entries. This has worked without issues as their printed
representation is identical, however it was incorrect from a semantic
point of view. Instead, a `ts.TypeLiteralNode` is created with
`ts.PropertySignature` as its members, which corresponds with the type
declaration of an object literal.

Angular View Engine uses global knowledge to compile the following code:
```typescript
export class Base {
constructor(private vcr: ViewContainerRef) {}
}
@Directive({...})
export class Dir extends Base {
// constructor inherited from base
}
```
Here, `Dir` extends `Base` and inherits its constructor. To create a `Dir`
the arguments to this inherited constructor must be obtained via dependency
injection. View Engine is able to generate a correct factory for `Dir` to do
this because via metadata it knows the arguments of `Base`'s constructor,
even if `Base` is declared in a different library.
In Ivy, DI is entirely a runtime concept. Currently `Dir` is compiled with
an ngDirectiveDef field that delegates its factory to `getInheritedFactory`.
This looks for some kind of factory function on `Base`, which comes up
empty. This case looks identical to an inheritance chain with no
constructors, which works today in Ivy.
Both of these cases will now become an error in this commit. If a decorated
class inherits from an undecorated base class, a diagnostic is produced
informing the user of the need to either explicitly declare a constructor or
to decorate the base class.

Previously, ngtsc would perform scope analysis (which directives/pipes are
available inside a component's template) and template type-checking of that
template as separate steps. If a component's scope was somehow invalid (e.g.
its NgModule imported something which wasn't another NgModule), the
component was treated as not having a scope. This meant that during template
type-checking, errors would be produced for any invalid expressions/usage of
other components that should have been in the scope.
This commit changes ngtsc to skip template type-checking of a component if
its scope is erroneous (as opposed to not present in the first place). Thus,
users aren't overwhelmed with diagnostic errors for the template and are
only informed of the root cause of the problem: an invalid NgModule scope.

Previously, the compiler performed an incremental build by analyzing and
resolving all classes in the program (even unchanged ones) and then using
the dependency graph information to determine which .js files were stale and
needed to be re-emitted. This algorithm produced "correct" rebuilds, but the
cost of re-analyzing the entire program turned out to be higher than
anticipated, especially for component-heavy compilations.
To achieve performant rebuilds, it is necessary to reuse previous analysis
results if possible. Doing this safely requires knowing when prior work is
viable and when it is stale and needs to be re-done.
The new algorithm implemented by this commit is such:
1) Each incremental build starts with knowledge of the last known good
dependency graph and analysis results from the last successful build,
plus of course information about the set of files changed.
2) The previous dependency graph's information is used to determine the
set of source files which have "logically" changed. A source file is
considered logically changed if it or any of its dependencies have
physically changed (on disk) since the last successful compilation. Any
logically unchanged dependencies have their dependency information copied
over to the new dependency graph.
3) During the `TraitCompiler`'s loop to consider all source files in the
program, if a source file is logically unchanged then its previous
analyses are "adopted" (and their 'register' steps are run). If the file
is logically changed, then it is re-analyzed as usual.
4) Then, incremental build proceeds as before, with the new dependency graph
being used to determine the set of files which require re-emitting.
This analysis reuse avoids template parsing operations in many circumstances
and significantly reduces the time it takes ngtsc to rebuild a large
application.
Future work will increase performance even more, by tackling a variety of
other opportunities to reuse or avoid work.

The `ModuleWithProviders` type has an optional type parameter that
should be specified to indicate what NgModule class will be provided.
This enables the Ivy compiler to statically determine the NgModule type
from the declaration files. This type parameter will become required in
the future, however to aid in the migration the compiler will detect
code patterns where using `ModuleWithProviders` as return type is
appropriate, in which case it transforms the emitted .d.ts files to
include the generic type argument.
This should reduce the number of occurrences where `ModuleWithProviders`
is referenced without its generic type argument.

The metadata collector for View Engine compilations emits error symbols
for static class members that have not been initialized, which prevents
a library from building successfully when `strictMetadataEmit` is
enabled, which is recommended for libraries to avoid issues in library
consumers. This is troublesome for libraries that are adopting static
members for the Ivy template type checker: these members don't need a
value assignment as only their type is of importance, however this
causes metadata errors. As such, a library used to be required to
initialize the special static members to workaround this error,
undesirably introducing a code-size overhead in terms of emitted
JavaScript code.

For Ivy's template type checker it is possible to let a directive
specify static members to allow a wider type for some input:
```typescript
export class MatSelect {
@Input() disabled: boolean;
static ngAcceptInputType_disabled: boolean | string;
}
```
This allows a binding to the `MatSelect.disabled` input to be of type
boolean or string, whereas the `disabled` property itself is only of
type boolean.
Up until now, any static `ngAcceptInputType_*` property was not
inherited for subclasses of a directive class. This is cumbersome, as
the directive's inputs are inherited, so any acceptance member should as
well. To resolve this limitation, this commit extends the flattening of
directive metadata to include the acceptance members.

However, this causes problems when ternary operations are nested. In
particular, a template expression of the form:
a?.b ? c : d

a == null ? null : a.b ? c : d
The ternary operator is right-associative, so that expression is interpreted

a == null ? null : (a.b ? c : d)

(a == null ? null : a.b) ? c : d
This commit adds a check in the expression translator to detect such
left-associative usages of ternaries and to enforce such associativity with

NgModules in Ivy have a definition which contains various different bits
of metadata about the module. In particular, this metadata falls into two
categories:
* metadata required to use the module at runtime (for bootstrapping, etc)
in AOT-only applications.
* metadata required to depend on the module from a JIT-compiled app.
The latter metadata consists of the module's declarations, imports, and
exports. To support JIT usage, this metadata must be included in the
generated code, especially if that code is shipped to NPM. However, because
this metadata preserves the entire NgModule graph (references to all
directives and components in the app), it needs to be removed during
optimization for AOT-only builds.
Previously, this was done with a clever design:
1. The extra metadata was added by a function called `setNgModuleScope`.
A call to this function was generated after each NgModule.
2. This function call was marked as "pure" with a comment and used
`noSideEffects` internally, which causes optimizers to remove it.
The effect was that in dev mode or test mode (which use JIT), no optimizer
runs and the full NgModule metadata was available at runtime. But in
production (presumably AOT) builds, the optimizer runs and removes the JIT-
specific metadata.
However, there are cases where apps that want to use JIT in production, and
still make an optimized build. In this case, the JIT-specific metadata would
be erroneously removed. This commit solves that problem by adding an
`ngJitMode` global variable which guards all `setNgModuleScope` calls. An
optimizer can be configured to statically define this global to be `false`
for AOT-only builds, causing the extra metadata to be stripped.
A configuration for Terser used by the CLI is provided in `tooling.ts` which
sets `ngJitMode` to `false` when building AOT apps.

The Ivy template type-checker is capable of inferring the type of a
structural directive (such as NgForOf<T>). Previously, this was done with
fullTemplateTypeCheck: true, even if strictTemplates was false. View Engine
previously did not do this inference, and so this causes breakages if the
type of the template context is not what the user expected.
In particular, consider the template:
```html
<div *ngFor="let user of users as all">
{{user.index}} out of {{all.length}}
</div>

As long as `users` is an array, this seems reasonable, because it appears
that `all` is an alias for the `users` array. However, this is misleading.
In reality, `NgForOf` is rendered with a template context that contains
both a `$implicit` value (for the loop variable `user`) as well as a
`ngForOf` value, which is the actual value assigned to `all`. The type of
`NgForOf`'s template context is `NgForContext<T>`, which declares `ngForOf`'s
type to be `NgIterable<T>`, which does not have a `length` property (due to
its incorporation of the `Iterable` type).
This commit stops the template type-checker from inferring template context
types unless strictTemplates is set (and strictInputTypes is not disabled).

Previously, the ngtsc compiler attempted to reuse analysis work from the
previous program during an incremental build. To do this, it had to prove
that the work was safe to reuse - that no changes made to the new program
would invalidate the previous analysis.
The implementation of this had a significant design flaw: if the previous
program had errors, the previous analysis would be missing significant
information, and the dependency graph extracted from it would not be
sufficient to determine which files should be re-analyzed to fill in the
gaps. This often meant that the build output after an error was resolved
would be wholly incorrect.
This commit switches ngtsc to take a simpler approach to incremental
rebuilds. Instead of attempting to reuse prior analysis work, the entire
program is re-analyzed with each compilation. This is actually not as
expensive as one might imagine - analysis is a fairly small part of overall
compilation time.
Based on the dependency graph extracted during this analysis, the compiler
then can make accurate decisions on whether to emit specific files. A new
suite of tests is added to validate behavior in the presence of source code
level errors.
This new approach is dramatically simpler than the previous algorithm, and
should always produce correct results for a semantically correct program.s

Originally, QueryList implemented Iterable and provided a Symbol.iterator
on its prototype. This caused issues with tree-shaking, so QueryList was
refactored and the Symbol.iterator added in its constructor instead. As
part of this change, QueryList no longer implemented Iterable directly.
Unfortunately, this meant that QueryList was no longer assignable to
Iterable or, consequently, NgIterable. NgIterable is used for NgFor's input,
so this meant that QueryList was not usable (in a type sense) for NgFor
iteration. View Engine's template type checking would not catch this, but
Ivy's did.
As a fix, this commit adds the declaration (but not the implementation) of
the Symbol.iterator function back to QueryList. This has no runtime effect,
so it doesn't affect tree-shaking of QueryList, but it ensures that
QueryList is assignable to NgIterable and thus usable with NgFor.

Previously, the compiler assumed that all TS files logically within a
project existed under one or more "root directories". If the TS compiler
option `rootDir` or `rootDirs` was set, they would dictate the root
directories in use, otherwise the current directory was used.
Unfortunately this assumption was unfounded - it's common for projects
without explicit `rootDirs` to import from files outside the current
working directory. In such cases the `LogicalProjectStrategy` would attempt
to generate imports into those files, and fail. This would lead to no
`ReferenceEmitStrategy` being able to generate an import, and end in a
compiler assertion failure.
This commit introduces a new strategy to use when there are no `rootDirs`
explicitly present, the `RelativePathStrategy`. It uses simpler, filesystem-
relative paths to generate imports, even to files above the current working
directory.

escaped, which meant that it appeared in the rendered message.

Currently if a consumer does something like the following, the object literal will be shared across the two elements and any instances of the component template. The same applies to array literals:
```
<div [someDirective]="{}"></div>
<div [someDirective]="{}"></div>

These changes make it so that we generate a pure function even if an object is constant so that each instance gets its own object.
Note that the original design for this fix included moving the pure function factories into the `consts` array. In the process of doing so I realized that pure function are also used inside of directive host bindings which means that we don't have access to the `consts`.
These changes also:
* Fix an issue that meant that the `pureFunction0` instruction could only be run during creation mode.
* Make the `getConstant` utility slightly more convenient to use. This isn't strictly required for these changes to work, but I had made it as a part of a larger refactor that I ended up reverting.

During incremental compilations, ngtsc needs to know which metadata
from a previous compilation can be reused, versus which metadata has to
be recomputed as some dependency was updated. Changes to
directives/components should cause the NgModule in which they are
declared to be recompiled, as the NgModule's compilation is dependent
on its directives/components.
When a dependent source file of a directive/component is updated,
however, a more subtle dependency should also cause to NgModule's source
file to be invalidated. During the reconciliation of state from a
previous compilation into the new program, the component's source file
is invalidated because one of its dependency has changed, ergo the
NgModule needs to be invalidated as well. Up until now, this implicit
dependency was not imposed on the NgModule. Additionally, any change to
a dependent file may influence the module scope to change, so all
components within the module must be invalidated as well.
This commit fixes the bug by introducing additional file dependencies,
as to ensure a proper rebuild of the module scope and its components.

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.

The template type checking abilities of the Ivy compiler are far more
advanced than the level of template type checking that was previously
done for Angular templates. Up until now, a single compiler option
called "fullTemplateTypeCheck" was available to configure the level
of template type checking. However, now that more advanced type checking
is being done, new errors may surface that were previously not reported,
in which case it may not be feasible to fix all new errors at once.
Having only a single option to disable a large number of template type
checking capabilities does not allow for incrementally addressing newly
reported types of errors. As a solution, this commit introduces some new
compiler options to be able to enable/disable certain kinds of template

Recently it was made possible to have a directive without selector,
which are referred to as abstract directives. Such directives should not
be registered in an NgModule, but can still contain decorators for
inputs, outputs, queries, etc. The information from these decorators and
the `@Directive()` decorator itself needs to be registered with the
central `MetadataRegistry` so that other areas of the compiler can
request information about a given directive, an example of which is the
template type checker that needs to know about the inputs and outputs of
directives.
Prior to this change, however, abstract directives would only register
themselves with the `MetadataRegistry` as being an abstract directive,
without all of its other metadata like inputs and outputs. This meant
that the template type checker was unable to resolve the inputs and
outputs of these abstract directives, therefore failing to check them
correctly. The typical error would be that some property does not exist
on a DOM element, whereas said property should have been bound to the
abstract directive's input.
This commit fixes the problem by always registering the metadata of a
directive or component with the `MetadataRegistry`. Tests have been
added to ensure abstract directives are handled correctly in the
template type checker, together with tests to verify the form of
abstract directives in declaration files.

Often the types of an `@Input`'s field don't fully reflect the types of
assignable values. This can happen when an input has a getter/setter pair
where the getter always returns a narrow type, and the setter coerces a
wider value down to the narrow type.
For example, you could imagine an input of the form:
```typescript
@Input() get value(): string {
return this._value;
}
set value(v: {toString(): string}) {
this._value = v.toString();
}
```
Here, the getter always returns a `string`, but the setter accepts any value
that can be `toString()`'d, and coerces it to a string.
Unfortunately TypeScript does not actually support this syntax, and so
Angular users are forced to type their setters as narrowly as the getters,
even though at runtime the coercion works just fine.
To support these kinds of patterns (e.g. as used by Material), this commit
adds a compiler feature called "input coercion". When a binding is made to
the 'value' input of a directive like MatInput, the compiler will look for a
static field with the name ngAcceptInputType_value. If such a field is found
the type-checking expression for the input will use the static field's type
instead of the type for the @Input field,allowing for the expression of a
type conversion between the binding expression and the value being written
to the input's field.
To solve the case above, for example, MatInput might write:
```typescript
class MatInput {
// rest of the directive...
static ngAcceptInputType_value: {toString(): string};
}
```

Libraries can expose directive/component base classes that will be
used by consumer applications. Using such a base class from another
compilation unit works fine with "ngtsc", but when using "ngc", the
compiler will thrown an error saying that the base class is not
part of a NgModule. e.g.
```
Cannot determine the module for class X in Y! Add X to the NgModule to fix it.

This seems to be because the logic for distinguishing directives from
abstract directives is scoped to the current compilation unit within
ngc. This causes abstract directives from other compilation units to
be considered as actual directives (causing the exception).

This commit refactors the aliasing system to support multiple different
AliasingHost implementations, which control specific aliasing behavior
in ngtsc (see the README.md).
A new host is introduced, the `PrivateExportAliasingHost`. This solves a
longstanding problem in ngtsc regarding support for "monorepo" style private
libraries. These are libraries which are compiled separately from the main
application, and depended upon through TypeScript path mappings. Such
libraries are frequently not in the Angular Package Format and do not have
entrypoints, but rather make use of deep import style module specifiers.
This can cause issues with ngtsc's ability to import a directive given the
module specifier of its NgModule.
For example, if the application uses a directive `Foo` from such a library
`foo`, the user might write:
```typescript
import {FooModule} from 'foo/module';
```
In this case, foo/module.d.ts is path-mapped into the program. Ordinarily
the compiler would see this as an absolute module specifier, and assume that
the `Foo` directive can be imported from the same specifier. For such non-
APF libraries, this assumption fails. Really `Foo` should be imported from
the file which declares it, but there are two problems with this:
1. The compiler would have to reverse the path mapping in order to determine
a path-mapped path to the file (maybe foo/dir.d.ts).
2. There is no guarantee that the file containing the directive is path-
mapped in the program at all.
The compiler would effectively have to "guess" 'foo/dir' as a module
specifier, which may or may not be accurate depending on how the library and
path mapping are set up.
It's strongly desirable that the compiler not break its current invariant
that the module specifier given by the user for the NgModule is always the
module specifier from which directives/pipes are imported. Thus, for any
given NgModule from a particular module specifier, it must always be
possible to import any directives/pipes from the same specifier, no matter
how it's packaged.
To make this possible, when compiling a file containing an NgModule, ngtsc
will automatically add re-exports for any directives/pipes not yet exported
by the user, with a name of the form: ɵngExportɵModuleNameɵDirectiveName
This has several effects:
1. It guarantees anyone depending on the NgModule will be able to import its
directives/pipes from the same specifier.
2. It maintains a stable name for the exported symbol that is safe to depend
on from code on NPM. Effectively, this private exported name will be a
part of the package's .d.ts API, and cannot be changed in a non-breaking
fashion.
