Previously the JIT evaluated code for ivy localized strings included
backtick tagged template strings, which are not compatible with ES5
in legacy browsers such as IE 11.
Now the generated code is ES5 compatible.

Now that `@angular/localize` can interpret multiple legacy message ids in the
metablock of a `$localize` tagged template string, this commit adds those
ids to each i18n message extracted from component templates, but only if
the `enableI18nLegacyMessageIdFormat` is not `false`.
PR Close#34135
Since i18n messages are mapped to `$localize` tagged template strings,
the "raw" version must be properly escaped. Otherwise TS will throw an
error such as:
```
Error: Debug Failure. False expression: Expected argument 'text' to be the normalized (i.e. 'cooked') version of argument 'rawText'.
```
This commit ensures that we properly escape these raw strings before creating
TS AST nodes from them.
PR Close#33820
The `:` char is used as a metadata marker in `$localize` messages.
If this char appears in the metadata it must be escaped, as `\:`.
Previously, although the `:` char was being escaped, the TS AST
being generated was not correct and so it was being output double
escaped, which meant that it appeared in the rendered message.
As of TS 3.6.2 the "raw" string can be specified when creating tagged
template AST nodes, so it is possible to correct this.
PR Close#33820
Previously the metadata and placeholder blocks were serialized in
a variety of places. Moreover the code for creating the `LocalizedString`
AST node was doing serialization, which break the separation of concerns.
Now this is all done by the code that renders the AST and is refactored into
helper functions to avoid repeating the behaviour.
PR Close#32867
This commit changes the Angular compiler (ivy-only) to generate `$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.

This commit updates the `_clone` function of the `_ApplySourceSpanTransformer` class, where the for-in loop was used, resulting in copying from prototype to own properties, thus consuming more memory. Prior to NodeJS 12 (V8 versions before 7.4) there was an optimization that was improving the situation and since that logic was removed in favor of other optimizations, the situation with memory consumption caused by the for-in loop got worse. This commit adds a check to make sure we copy only own properties over to cloned object.
Closes#31627.

As part of FW-1265, the `@angular/compiler` package is made compatible
with the TypeScript `--strict` flag. This already unveiled a few bugs,
so the strictness flag seems to help with increasing the overall code health.

When testing JIT code, it is useful to be able to access the
generated JIT source. Previously this is done by spying on the
global `Function` object, to capture the code when it is being
evaluated. This is problematic because you can only capture
the body of the function, and not the arguments, which messes
up line and column positions for source mapping for instance.
Now the code that generates and then evaluates JIT code is
wrapped in a `JitEvaluator` class, making it possible to provide
a mock implementation that can capture the generated source of
the function passed to `executeFunction(fn: Function, args: any[])`.

Uglify and other tree-shakers attempt to determine if the invocation
of a function is side-effectful, and remove it if so (and the result
is unused). A /*@__PURE__*/ annotation on the call site can be used
to hint to the optimizer that the invocation has no side effects and
is safe to tree-shake away.
This commit adds a 'pure' flag to the output AST function call node,
which can be used to signal to downstream emitters that a pure
annotation should be added. It also modifies ngtsc's emitter to
emit an Uglify pure annotation when this flag is set.
Testing strategy: this will be tested via its consumers, by asserting
that pure functions are translated with the correct comment.

Ivy definition types have a generic type which specifies the return
type of the factory function. For example:
static ngDirectiveDef<NgForOf, '[ngFor][ngForOf]'>
However, in this case NgForOf itself has a type parameter <T>. Thus,
writing the above is incorrect.
This commit modifies ngtsc to understand the genericness of NgForOf and
to write the following:
static ngDirectiveDef<NgForOf<any>, '[ngFor][ngForOf]'>
PR Close#24862
Previously ngtsc would use a tuple of class types for listing metadata
in .d.ts files. For example, an @NgModule's declarations might be
represented with the type:
[NgIf, NgForOf, NgClass]
If the module had no declarations, an empty tuple [] would be produced.
This has two problems.
1. If the class type has generic type parameters, TypeScript will
complain that they're not provided.
2. The empty tuple type is not actually legal.
This commit addresses both problems.
1. Class types are now represented using the `typeof` operator, so the
above declarations would be represented as:
[typeof NgIf, typeof NgForOf, typeof NgClass].
Since typeof operates on a value, it doesn't require generic type
arguments.
2. Instead of an empty tuple, `never` is used to indicate no metadata.

This commit adds a mechanism by which the @angular/core annotations
for @Component, @Injectable, and @NgModule become decorators which,
when executed at runtime, trigger just-in-time compilation of their
associated types. The activation of these decorators is configured
by the ivy_switch mechanism, ensuring that the Ivy JIT engine does
not get included in Angular bundles unless specifically requested.

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.

This adds compilation of @NgModule providers and imports into
ngInjectorDef statements in generated code. All @NgModule annotations
will be compiled and the @NgModule decorators removed from the
resultant js output.
All @Injectables will also be compiled in Ivy mode, and the decorator
removed.

The "enableIvy" compiler option is the initial implementation
of the Render3 (or Ivy) code generation. This commit enables
generation generating "Hello, World" (example in the test)
but not much else. It is currenly only useful for internal Ivy
testing as Ivy is in development.

This is important to not confuse users nor downstream tools that
consume our source maps. For generated content for which we don’t
have an original source file, we use the generated file now.
Fixes#19538
For now, we always create all generated files, but diff them
before we pass them to TypeScript.
For the user files, we compare the programs and only emit changed
TypeScript files.
This also adds more diagnostic messages if the `—diagnostics` flag
is passed to the command line.
We now create 2 programs with exactly the same fileNames and
exactly the same `import` / `export` declarations,
allowing TS to reuse the structure of first program
completely. When passing in an oldProgram and the files didn’t change,
TS can also reuse the old program completely.
This is possible buy adding generated files to TS
in `host.geSourceFile` via `ts.SourceFile.referencedFiles`.
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`.

This speeds up the compilation process significantly.
Also introduces a new option `fullTemplateTypeCheck` to do more checks in templates:
- check expressions inside of templatized content (e.g. inside of `<div *ngIf>`).
- check the arguments of calls to the `transform` function of pipes
- check references to directives that were exposed as variables via `exportAs`

With this commit the compiler will "lower" expressions into exported
variables for values the compiler does not need to know statically
in order to be able to generate a factory. For example:
```
providers: [{provider: 'token', useValue: calculated()}]
```
produced an error as the expression `calculated()` is not supported
by the compiler because `calculated` is not a
[known function](https://angular.io/guide/metadata#annotationsdecorators)
With this commit this is rewritten, during emit of the .js file, into
something like:
```
export var ɵ0 = calculated();
...
provdiers: [{provider: 'token', useValue: ɵ0}]
```
The compiler then will now generate a reference to the exported `ɵ0`
instead of failing to evaluate `calculated()`.

Refactoring the compiler to use transformers moves the code generation
after type-checking which suppresses the errors TypeScript would
generate in the user code.
`TypeChecker` currently produces the same factory code that was
generated prior the switch to transfomers, getting back the same
diagnostics as before. The refactoring will allow the code to
diverge from the factory code and allow better diagnostic error
messages than was previously possible by type-checking the factories.
Template expressions can now use a post-fix `!` operator
that asserts the target of the operator is not null. This is
similar to the TypeScript non-null assert operator. Expressions
generated in factories will be generated with the non-null assert
operator.
