The `$localize` library uses a new message digest function for
computing message ids. This means that translations in legacy
translation files will no longer match the message ids in the code
and so will not be translated.
This commit adds the ability to specify the format of your legacy
translation files, so that the appropriate message id can be rendered
in the `$localize` tagged strings. This results in larger code size
and requires that all translations are in the legacy format.
Going forward the developer should migrate their translation files
to use the new message id format.

This commit switches the default value of the enableIvy flag to true.
Applications that run ngc will now by default receive an Ivy build!
This does not affect the way Bazel builds in the Angular repo work, since
those are still switched based on the value of the --define=compile flag.
Additionally, projects using @angular/bazel still use View Engine builds
by default.
Since most of the Angular repo tests are still written against View Engine
(particularly because we still publish VE packages to NPM), this switch
also requires lots of `enableIvy: false` flags in tsconfigs throughout the
repo.
Congrats to the team for reaching this milestone!

This option makes ngc behave as tsc, and was originally implemented before
ngtsc existed. It was designed so we could build JIT-only versions of
Angular packages to begin testing Ivy early, and is not used at all in our
current setup.

Optimizations to skip compiling source files that had not changed
did not account for the case where only a resource file changes,
such as an external template or style file.
Now we track such dependencies and trigger a recompilation
if any of the previously tracked resources have changed.
This will require a change on the CLI side to provide the list of
resource files that changed to trigger the current compilation by
implementing `CompilerHost.getModifiedResourceFiles()`.

Template type-checking is enabled by default in the View Engine compiler.
The feature in Ivy is not quite ready for this yet, so this flag will
temporarily control whether templates are type-checked in ngtsc.
The goal is to remove this flag after rolling out template type-checking in
google3 in Ivy mode, and making sure the feature is as compatible with the
View Engine implementation as possible.
Initially, the default value of the flag will leave checking disabled.

This commit adds a `tracePerformance` option for tsconfig.json. When
specified, it causes a JSON file with timing information from the ngtsc
compiler to be emitted at the specified path.
This tracing system is used to instrument the analysis/emit phases of
compilation, and will be useful in debugging future integration work with
@angular/cli.
See ngtsc/perf/README.md for more details.

Currently setting `enableIvy` to true runs a hybrid mode of `ngc` and `ngtsc`. This is counterintuitive given the name of the flag itself.
This PR makes the `true` value equivalent to the previous `ngtsc`, and `ngtsc` becomes an alias for `true`. Effectively this removes the hybrid mode as well since there's no other way to enable it.

The ultimate goal of this commit is to make use of fileNameToModuleName to
get the module specifier to use when generating an import, when that API is
available in the CompilerHost that ngtsc is created with.
As part of getting there, the way in which ngtsc tracks references and
generates import module specifiers is refactored considerably. References
are tracked with the Reference class, and previously ngtsc had several
different kinds of Reference. An AbsoluteReference represented a declaration
which needed to be imported via an absolute module specifier tracked in the
AbsoluteReference, and a RelativeReference represented a declaration from
the local program, imported via relative path or referred to directly by
identifier if possible. Thus, how to refer to a particular declaration was
encoded into the Reference type _at the time of creation of the Reference_.
This commit refactors that logic and reduces Reference to a single class
with no subclasses. A Reference represents a node being referenced, plus
context about how the node was located. This context includes a
"bestGuessOwningModule", the compiler's best guess at which absolute
module specifier has defined this reference. For example, if the compiler
arrives at the declaration of CommonModule via an import to @angular/common,
then any references obtained from CommonModule (e.g. NgIf) will also be
considered to be owned by @angular/common.
A ReferenceEmitter class and accompanying ReferenceEmitStrategy interface
are introduced. To produce an Expression referring to a given Reference'd
node, the ReferenceEmitter consults a sequence of ReferenceEmitStrategy
implementations.
Several different strategies are defined:
- LocalIdentifierStrategy: use local ts.Identifiers if available.
- AbsoluteModuleStrategy: if the Reference has a bestGuessOwningModule,
import the node via an absolute import from that module specifier.
- LogicalProjectStrategy: if the Reference is in the logical project
(is under the project rootDirs), import the node via a relative import.
- FileToModuleStrategy: use a FileToModuleHost to generate the module
specifier by which to import the node.
Depending on the availability of fileNameToModuleName in the CompilerHost,
then, a different collection of these strategies is used for compilation.

With #28594 we refactored the `@angular/compiler` slightly to
allow opting out from external symbol re-exports which are
enabled by default.
Since symbol re-exports only benefit projects which have a
very strict dependency enforcement, external symbols should
not be re-exported by default as this could grow the size of
factory files and cause unexpected behavior with Angular's
AOT symbol resolving (e.g. see: #25644).
Note that the common strict dependency enforcement for source
files does still work with external symbol re-exports disabled,
but there are also strict dependency checks that enforce strict
module dependencies also for _generated files_ (such as the
ngfactory files). This is how Google3 manages it's dependencies
and therefore external symbol re-exports need to be enabled within
Google3.
Also "ngtsc" also does not provide any way of using external symbol
re-exports, so this means that with this change, NGC can partially
match the behavior of "ngtsc" then (unless explicitly opted-out).
As mentioned before, internally at Google symbol re-exports need to
be still enabled, so the `ng_module` Bazel rule will enable the symbol
re-exports by default when running within Blaze.
Fixes#25644.

This commit adds tracking of modules, directives, and pipes which are made
visible to consumers through NgModules exported from the package entrypoint.
ngtsc will now produce a diagnostic if such classes are not themselves
exported via the entrypoint (as this is a requirement for downstream
consumers to use them with Ivy).
To accomplish this, a graph of references is created and populated via the
ReferencesRegistry. Symbols exported via the package entrypoint are compared
against the graph to determine if any publicly visible symbols are not
properly exported. Diagnostics are produced for each one which also show the
path by which they become visible.
This commit also introduces a diagnostic (instead of a hard compiler crash)
if an entrypoint file cannot be correctly determined.
PR Close#27743
This commit takes the first steps towards ngtsc producing real
TypeScript diagnostics instead of simply throwing errors when
encountering incorrect code.
A new class is introduced, FatalDiagnosticError, which can be thrown by
handlers whenever a condition in the code is encountered which by
necessity prevents the class from being compiled. This error type is
convertable to a ts.Diagnostic which represents the type and source of
the error.
Error codes are introduced for Angular errors, and are prefixed with -99
(so error code 1001 becomes -991001) to distinguish them from other TS
errors.
A function is provided which will read TS diagnostic output and convert
the TS errors to NG errors if they match this negative error code
format.
PR Close#25647
Bazel has a restriction that a single output (eg. a compiled version of
//packages/common) can only be produced by a single rule. This precludes
the Angular repo from having multiple rules that build the same code. And
the complexity of having a single rule produce multiple outputs (eg. an
ngc-compiled version of //packages/common and an Ivy-enabled version) is
too high.
Additionally, the Angular repo has lots of existing tests which could be
executed as-is under Ivy. Such testing is very valuable, and it would be
nice to share not only the code, but the dependency graph / build config
as well.
Thus, this change introduces a --define flag 'compile' with three potential
values. When --define=compile=X is set, the entire build system runs in a
particular mode - the behavior of all existing targets is controlled by
the flag. This allows us to reuse our entire build structure for testing
in a variety of different manners. The flag has three possible settings:
* legacy (the default): the traditional View Engine (ngc) build
* local: runs the prototype ngtsc compiler, which does not rely on global
analysis
* jit: runs ngtsc in a mode which executes tsickle, but excludes the
Angular related transforms, which approximates the behavior of plain
tsc. This allows the main packages such as common to be tested with
the JIT compiler.
Additionally, the ivy_ng_module() rule still exists and runs ngc in a mode
where Ivy-compiled output is produced from global analysis information, as
a stopgap while ngtsc is being developed.
PR Close#24056
This commit adds a new compiler pipeline that isn't dependent on global
analysis, referred to as 'ngtsc'. This new compiler is accessed by
running ngc with "enableIvy" set to "ngtsc". It reuses the same initialization
logic but creates a new implementation of Program which does not perform the
global-level analysis that AngularCompilerProgram does. It will be the
foundation for the production Ivy compiler.

ngc knows to filter out d.ts inputs, but the logic accidentally
depended on whether it had a previous Program lying around.
Fixing that logic puts ngc on the fast code path, but in that code
path it must be able to merge tsickle EmitResults, so we need to
plumb the tsickle.mergeEmitResults function through all the intervening
APIs. The bulk of this change is that plumbing.

We now create 2 programs with exactly the same fileNames and
exactly the same `import` / `export` declarations,

This commit also:
- has a minor side effect on how we generate shared stylesheets:
- previously every import in a stylesheet would generate a new
`.ngstyles.ts` file.
- now, we only generate 1 `.ngstyles.ts` file per entry in `@Component.styleUrls`.
This was required as we need to be able to determine the program files
without loading the resources (which can be async).
- makes all angular related methods in `CompilerHost`
optional, allowing to just use a regular `ts.CompilerHost` as `CompilerHost`.
- simplifies the logic around `Compiler.analyzeNgModules` by introducing `NgAnalyzedFile`.
