    15  // Type-checking Named types is subtle, because they may be recursively
    16  // defined, and because their full details may be spread across multiple
    17  // declarations (via methods). For this reason they are type-checked lazily,
    18  // to avoid information being accessed before it is complete.
    19  //
    20  // Conceptually, it is helpful to think of named types as having two distinct
    21  // sets of information:
    22  //  - "LHS" information, defining their identity: Obj() and TypeArgs()
    23  //  - "RHS" information, defining their details: TypeParams(), Underlying(),
    24  //    and methods.
    25  //
    26  // In this taxonomy, LHS information is available immediately, but RHS
    27  // information is lazy. Specifically, a named type N may be constructed in any
    28  // of the following ways:
    29  //  1. type-checked from the source
    30  //  2. loaded eagerly from export data
    31  //  3. loaded lazily from export data (when using unified IR)
    32  //  4. instantiated from a generic type
    33  //
    34  // In cases 1, 3, and 4, it is possible that the underlying type or methods of
    35  // N may not be immediately available.
    36  //  - During type-checking, we allocate N before type-checking its underlying
    37  //    type or methods, so that we may resolve recursive references.
    38  //  - When loading from export data, we may load its methods and underlying
    39  //    type lazily using a provided load function.
    40  //  - After instantiating, we lazily expand the underlying type and methods
    41  //    (note that instances may be created while still in the process of
    42  //    type-checking the original type declaration).
    43  //
    44  // In cases 3 and 4 this lazy construction may also occur concurrently, due to
    45  // concurrent use of the type checker API (after type checking or importing has
    46  // finished). It is critical that we keep track of state, so that Named types
    47  // are constructed exactly once and so that we do not access their details too
    48  // soon.
    49  //
    50  // We achieve this by tracking state with an atomic state variable, and
    51  // guarding potentially concurrent calculations with a mutex. At any point in
    52  // time this state variable determines which data on N may be accessed. As
    53  // state monotonically progresses, any data available at state M may be
    54  // accessed without acquiring the mutex at state N, provided N >= M.
    55  //
    56  // GLOSSARY: Here are a few terms used in this file to describe Named types:
    57  //  - We say that a Named type is "instantiated" if it has been constructed by
    58  //    instantiating a generic named type with type arguments.
    59  //  - We say that a Named type is "declared" if it corresponds to a type
    60  //    declaration in the source. Instantiated named types correspond to a type
    61  //    instantiation in the source, not a declaration. But their Origin type is
    62  //    a declared type.
    63  //  - We say that a Named type is "resolved" if its RHS information has been
    64  //    loaded or fully type-checked. For Named types constructed from export
    65  //    data, this may involve invoking a loader function to extract information
    66  //    from export data. For instantiated named types this involves reading
    67  //    information from their origin.
    68  //  - We say that a Named type is "expanded" if it is an instantiated type and
    69  //    type parameters in its underlying type and methods have been substituted
    70  //    with the type arguments from the instantiation. A type may be partially
    71  //    expanded if some but not all of these details have been substituted.
    72  //    Similarly, we refer to these individual details (underlying type or
    73  //    method) as being "expanded".
    74  //  - When all information is known for a named type, we say it is "complete".
    75  //
    76  // Some invariants to keep in mind: each declared Named type has a single
    77  // corresponding object, and that object's type is the (possibly generic) Named
    78  // type. Declared Named types are identical if and only if their pointers are
    79  // identical. On the other hand, multiple instantiated Named types may be
    80  // identical even though their pointers are not identical. One has to use
    81  // Identical to compare them. For instantiated named types, their obj is a
    82  // synthetic placeholder that records their position of the corresponding
    83  // instantiation in the source (if they were constructed during type checking).
    84  //
    85  // To prevent infinite expansion of named instances that are created outside of
    86  // type-checking, instances share a Context with other instances created during
    87  // their expansion. Via the pidgeonhole principle, this guarantees that in the
    88  // presence of a cycle of named types, expansion will eventually find an
    89  // existing instance in the Context and short-circuit the expansion.
    90  //
    91  // Once an instance is complete, we can nil out this shared Context to unpin
    92  // memory, though this Context may still be held by other incomplete instances
    93  // in its "lineage".
