Previously, the template type-checker would always construct a generic
template context type with correct bounds, even when strictTemplates was
disabled. This meant that type-checking of expressions involving that type
was stricter than View Engine.
This commit introduces a 'strictContextGenerics' flag which behaves
similarly to other 'strictTemplates' flags, and switches the inference of
generic type parameters on the component context based on the value of this
flag.

Previously, it was required that both `fullTemplateTypeCheck` and
`strictTemplates` had to be enabled for strict mode to be enabled. This

strict mode can be enabled by just setting `strictTemplates`.

In Ivy's template type checker, type constructors are created for all
directive types to allow for accurate type inference to work. The type
checker has two strategies for dealing with such type constructors:
1. They can be emitted local to the type check block/type check file.
2. They can be emitted as static `ngTypeCtor` field into the directive
itself.
The first strategy is preferred, as it avoids having to update the
directive type which would cause a more expensive rebuild. However, this
strategy is not suitable for directives that have constrained generic
types, as those constraints would need to be present on the local type
constructor declaration. This is not trivial, as it requires that any
type references within a type parameter's constraint are imported into
the local context of the type check block.
For example, lets consider the `NgForOf` directive from '@angular/core'
looks as follows:
```typescript
import {NgIterable} from '@angular/core';
export class NgForOf<T, U extends NgIterable<T>> {}
```
The type constructor will then have the signature:
`(o: Pick<i1.NgForOf<T, U>, 'ngForOf'>) => i1.NgForOf<T, U>`
Notice how this refers to the type parameters `T` and `U`, so the type
constructor needs to be emitted into a scope where those types are
available, _and_ have the correct constraints.
Previously, the template type checker would detect the situation where a
type parameter is constrained, and would emit the type constructor
using strategy 2; within the directive type itself. This approach makes
any type references within the generic type constraints lexically
available:
```typescript
export class NgForOf<T, U extends NgIterable<T>> {
static ngTypeCtor<T = any, U extends NgIterable<T> = any>
(o: Pick<NgForOf<T, U>, 'ngForOf'>): NgForOf<T, U> { return null!; }
}
```
This commit introduces the ability to emit a type parameter with
constraints into a different context, under the condition that it can
be imported from an absolute module. This allows a generic type
constructor to be emitted into a type check block or type check file
according to strategy 1, as imports have been generated for all type
references within generic type constraints. For example:
```typescript
import * as i0 from '@angular/core';
import * as i1 from '@angular/common';
const _ctor1: <T = any, U extends i0.NgIterable<T> = any>
(o: Pick<i1.NgForOf<T, U>, 'ngForOf'>) => i1.NgForOf<T, U> = null!;
```
Notice how the generic type constraint of `U` has resulted in an import
of `@angular/core`, and the `NgIterable` is transformed into a qualified
name during the emitting process.

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.

During TypeScript module resolution, a lot of filesystem requests are
done. This is quite an expensive operation, so a module resolution cache
can be used to speed up the process significantly.
This commit lets the Ivy compiler perform all module resolution with a
module resolution cache. Note that the module resolution behavior can be
changed with a custom compiler host, in which case that custom host
implementation is responsible for caching. In the case of the Angular
CLI a custom compiler host with proper module resolution caching is
already in place, so the CLI already has this optimization.

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.

Previously 'analyze' in the various `DecoratorHandler`s not only extracts
information from the decorators on the classes being analyzed, but also has
several side effects within the compiler:
* it can register metadata about the types involved in global metadata
trackers.
* it can register information about which .ngfactory symbols are actually
needed.
In this commit, these side-effects are moved into a new 'register' phase,
which runs after the 'analyze' step. Currently this is a no-op refactoring
as 'register' is always called directly after 'analyze'. In the future this
opens the door for re-use of prior analysis work (with only 'register' being
called, to apply the above side effects).
Also as part of this refactoring, the reification of NgModule scope
information into the incremental dependency graph is moved to the
`NgtscProgram` instead of the `TraitCompiler` (which now only manages trait
compilation and does not have other side effects).

Prior to this commit, the `IvyCompilation` tracked the state of each matched
`DecoratorHandler` on each class in the `ts.Program`, and how they
progressed through the compilation process. This tracking was originally
simple, but had grown more complicated as the compiler evolved. The state of
each specific "target" of compilation was determined by the nullability of
a number of fields on the object which tracked it.
This commit formalizes the process of compilation of each matched handler
into a new "trait" concept. A trait is some aspect of a class which gets
created when a `DecoratorHandler` matches the class. It represents an Ivy
aspect that needs to go through the compilation process.
Traits begin in a "pending" state and undergo transitions as various steps
of compilation take place. The `IvyCompilation` class is renamed to the
`TraitCompiler`, which manages the state of all of the traits in the active
program.
Making the trait concept explicit will support future work to incrementalize
the expensive analysis process of compilation.

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.

Previously, our incremental build system kept track of the changes between
the current compilation and the previous one, and used its knowledge of
inter-file dependencies to evaluate the impact of each change and emit the
right set of output files.
However, a problem arose if the compiler was not able to extract a
dependency graph successfully. This typically happens if the input program
contains errors. In this case the Angular analysis part of compilation is
never executed.
If a file changed in one of these failed builds, in the next build it
appears unchanged. This means that the compiler "forgets" to emit it!
To fix this problem, the compiler needs to know the set of changes made
_since the last successful build_, not simply since the last invocation.
This commit changes the incremental state system to much more explicitly
pass information from the previous to the next compilation, and in the
process to keep track of changes across multiple failed builds, until the
program can be analyzed successfully and the results of those changes

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

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.

The template type checking abilities of the Ivy compiler are far more
advanced than the level of template type checking that was previously

of template type checking. However, now that more advanced type checking
is being done, new errors may surface that were previously not reported,

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.

quality of error message.
PR Close#32171
Historically, the Angular Compiler has produced both native TypeScript
diagnostics (called ts.Diagnostics) and its own internal Diagnostic format
(called an api.Diagnostic). This was done because TypeScript ts.Diagnostics
cannot be produced for files not in the ts.Program, and template type-
checking diagnostics are naturally produced for external .html template
files.
This design isn't optimal for several reasons:
1) Downstream tooling (such as the CLI) must support multiple formats of
diagnostics, adding to the maintenance burden.
2) ts.Diagnostics have gotten a lot better in recent releases, with support
for suggested changes, highlighting of the code in question, etc. None of
these changes have been of any benefit for api.Diagnostics, which have
continued to be reported in a very primitive fashion.
3) A future plugin model will not support anything but ts.Diagnostics, so
generating api.Diagnostics is a blocker for ngtsc-as-a-plugin.
4) The split complicates both the typings and the testing of ngtsc.
To fix this issue, this commit changes template type-checking to produce
ts.Diagnostics instead. Instead of reporting a special kind of diagnostic
for external template files, errors in a template are always reported in
a ts.Diagnostic that highlights the portion of the template which contains
the error. When this template text is distinct from the source .ts file
(for example, when the template is parsed from an external resource file),
additional contextual information links the error back to the originating
component.
A template error can thus be reported in 3 separate ways, depending on how
the template was configured:
1) For inline template strings which can be directly mapped to offsets in
the TS code, ts.Diagnostics point to real ranges in the source.
This is the case if an inline template is used with a string literal or a
"no-substitution" string. For example:
```typescript
@Component({..., template: `
<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>
`})
export class TestCmp {
bar: string;
}
```
The above template contains an error (no 'baz' property of `TestCmp`). The
error produced by TS will look like:
```
<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>
~~~
test.ts:2:11 - error TS2339: Property 'baz' does not exist on type 'TestCmp'. Did you mean 'bar'?
```
2) For template strings which cannot be directly mapped to offsets in the
TS code, a logical offset into the template string will be included in
the error message. For example:
```typescript
const SOME_TEMPLATE = '<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>';
@Component({..., template: SOME_TEMPLATE})
export class TestCmp {
bar: string;
}
```
Because the template is a reference to another variable and is not an
inline string constant, the compiler will not be able to use "absolute"
positions when parsing the template. As a result, errors will report logical
offsets into the template string:
```
<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>
~~~
test.ts (TestCmp template):2:15 - error TS2339: Property 'baz' does not exist on type 'TestCmp'.
test.ts:3:28
@Component({..., template: TEMPLATE})
~~~~~~~~
Error occurs in the template of component TestCmp.
```
This error message uses logical offsets into the template string, and also
gives a reference to the `TEMPLATE` expression from which the template was
parsed. This helps in locating the component which contains the error.
3) For external templates (templateUrl), the error message is delivered
within the HTML template file (testcmp.html) instead, and additional
information contextualizes the error on the templateUrl expression from
which the template file was determined:
```
<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>
~~~
testcmp.html:2:15 - error TS2339: Property 'baz' does not exist on type 'TestCmp'.
test.ts:10:31
@Component({..., templateUrl: './testcmp.html'})

Error occurs in the template of component TestCmp.

PR Close#31952
Previously if only a component template changed then we would know to
rebuild its component source file. But the compilation was incorrect if the
component was part of an NgModule, since we were not capturing the
compilation scope information that had a been acquired from the NgModule
and was not being regenerated since we were not needing to recompile
the NgModule.
Now we register compilation scope information for each component, via the
`ComponentScopeRegistry` interface, so that it is available for incremental
compilation.
The `ComponentDecoratorHandler` now reads the compilation scope from a
`ComponentScopeReader` interface which is implemented as a compound
reader composed of the original `LocalModuleScopeRegistry` and the
`IncrementalState`.

To improve cross platform support, all file access (and path manipulation)
is now done through a well known interface (`FileSystem`).
For testing a number of `MockFileSystem` implementations are provided.
These provide an in-memory file-system which emulates operating systems
like OS/X, Unix and Windows.
The current file system is always available via the static method,
`FileSystem.getFileSystem()`. This is also used by a number of static
methods on `AbsoluteFsPath` and `PathSegment`, to avoid having to pass
`FileSystem` objects around all the time. The result of this is that one
must be careful to ensure that the file-system has been initialized before
using any of these static methods. To prevent this happening accidentally
the current file system always starts out as an instance of `InvalidFileSystem`,
which will throw an error if any of its methods are called.
You can set the current file-system by calling `FileSystem.setFileSystem()`.
During testing you can call the helper function `initMockFileSystem(os)`
which takes a string name of the OS to emulate, and will also monkey-patch
aspects of the TypeScript library to ensure that TS is also using the
current file-system.
Finally there is the `NgtscCompilerHost` to be used for any TypeScript
compilation, which uses a given file-system.
All tests that interact with the file-system should be tested against each
of the mock file-systems. A series of helpers have been provided to support
such tests:
* `runInEachFileSystem()` - wrap your tests in this helper to run all the
wrapped tests in each of the mock file-systems.
* `addTestFilesToFileSystem()` - use this to add files and their contents
to the mock file system for testing.
* `loadTestFilesFromDisk()` - use this to load a mirror image of files on
disk into the in-memory mock file-system.
* `loadFakeCore()` - use this to load a fake version of `@angular/core`
into the mock file-system.
All ngcc and ngtsc source and tests now use this virtual file-system setup.

Add an IndexingContext class to store indexing information and a
transformer module to generate indexing analysis. Integrate the indexing
module with the rest of NgtscProgram and add integration tests.

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()`.

Plural ICU expressions depend on the locale (different languages have different plural forms). Until now the locale was hard coded as `en-US`.
For compatibility reasons, if you use ivy with AOT and bootstrap your app with `bootstrapModule` then the `LOCALE_ID` token will be set automatically for ivy, which is then used to get the correct plural form.
If you use JIT, you need to define the `LOCALE_ID` provider on the module that you bootstrap.
For `TestBed` you can use either `configureTestingModule` or `overrideProvider` to define that provider.
If you don't use the compat mode and start your app with `renderComponent` you need to call `ɵsetLocaleId` manually to define the `LOCALE_ID` before bootstrap. We expect this to change once we start adding the new i18n APIs, so don't rely on this function (there's a reason why it's a private export).

The AbsoluteModuleStrategy in ngtsc assumed that the source code is
formatted as TypeScript with regards to module exports.
In ngcc this is not always the case, so this commit changes
`AbsoluteModuleStrategy` so that it relies upon a `ReflectionHost` to
compute the exports of a module.

Now that the dependent files and compilation scopes are being tracked in
the incremental state, we can skip analysing and emitting source files if
none of their dependent files have changed since the last compile.
The computation of what files (and their dependencies) are unchanged is
computed during reconciliation.
This commit also removes the previous emission skipping logic, since this
approach covers those cases already.

To support skipping analysis of a file containing a component
we need to know that none of the declarations that might affect
its ngtsc compilation have not changed. The files that we need to
check are those that contain classes from the `CompilationScope`
of the component. These classes are already tracked in the
`LocalModuleScopeRegistry`.
This commit modifies the `IvyCompilation` class to record the
files that are in each declared class's `CompilationScope` via
a new method, `recordNgModuleScopeDependencies()`, that is called
after all the handlers have been "resolved".
Further, if analysis is skipped for a declared class, then we need
to recover the analysis from the previous compilation run. To
support this, the `IncrementalState` class has been updated to
expose the `MetadataReader` and `MetadataRegistry` interfaces.
This is included in the `metaRegistry` object to capture these analyses,
and also in the `localMetaReader` as a fallback to use if the
current compilation analysis was skipped.

As part of incremental compilation performance improvements, we need
to track the dependencies of files due to expressions being evaluated by
the `PartialEvaluator`.
The `PartialEvaluator` now accepts a `DependencyTracker` object, which is
used to track which files are visited when evaluating an expression.
The interpreter computes this `originatingFile` and stores it in the evaluation
`Context` so it can pass this to the `DependencyTracker.
The `IncrementalState` object implements this interface, which allows it to be
passed to the `PartialEvaluator` and so capture the file dependencies.
