322951af49 refactor(compiler-cli): error on cyclic imports in partial compilation (#40782)
Our approach for handling cyclic imports results in code that is
not easy to tree-shake, so it is not suitable for publishing in a
library.

When compiling in partial compilation mode, we are targeting
such library publication, so we now create a fatal diagnostic
error instead of trying to handle the cyclic import situation.

Closes #40678

bd0d19141b fix(compiler-cli): preserve user line endings in diagnostic template parse (#40597)
Normally the template parsing operation normalizes all template line endings
to '\n' only. This normalization operation causes source mapping errors when
the original template uses '\r\n' line endings.

The compiler already parses templates again to create a "diagnostic"
template AST with accurate source maps, to avoid other parsing issues that
affect source map accuracy. This commit configures this diagnostic parse to
also preserve line endings.

e32b6256ce fix(core): QueryList should not fire changes if the underlying list did not change. (#40091)
Previous implementation would fire changes `QueryList.changes.subscribe`
whenever the `QueryList` was recomputed. This resulted in artificially
high number of change notifications, as it is possible that recomputing
`QueryList` results in the same list. When the `QueryList` gets recomputed
is an implementation detail and it should not be the thing which determines
how often change event should fire.

This change introduces a new `emitDistinctChangesOnly` option for
`ContentChildren` and `ViewChildren`.

export class QueryCompWithStrictChangeEmitParent {
  @ContentChildren('foo', {
    // This option will become the default in the future

b48eabddb8 refactor(compiler-cli): include template source directly inside declaration object (#40383)
The `template` and `isInline` fields were previously stored in a nested
object, which was initially done to accommodate for additional template
information to support accurate source maps for external templates. In
the meantime the source mapping has been accomplished in a different
way, and I feel this flattened structure is simpler and smaller so is
preferable over the nested object. This change also makes the `isInline`
property optional with a default value of `false`.

104546569e fix(compiler): incorrectly interpreting some HostBinding names (#40233)
Currently when analyzing the metadata of a directive, we bundle together the bindings from `host`
and the `HostBinding` and `HostListener` together. This can become a problem later on in the
compilation pipeline, because we try to evaluate the value of the binding, causing something like
`@HostBinding('class.foo') public true = 1;` to be treated the same as
`host: {'[class.foo]': 'true'}`.

While looking into the issue, I noticed another one that is closely related: we weren't treating
quoted property names correctly. E.g. `@HostBinding('class.foo') public "foo-bar" = 1;` was being
interpreted as `classProp('foo', ctx.foo - ctx.bar)` due to the same issue where property names
were being evaluated.

These changes resolve both of the issues by treating all `HostBinding` instance as if they're
reading the property from `this`. E.g. the `@HostBinding('class.foo') public true = 1;` from above
is now being treated as `host: {'[class.foo]': 'this.true'}` which further down the pipeline becomes
`classProp('foo', ctx.true)`. This doesn't have any payload size implications for existing code,
because we've always been prefixing implicit property reads with `ctx.`. If the property doesn't
have an identifier that can be read using dotted access, we convert it to a quoted one (e.g.
`classProp('foo', ctx['is-foo']))`.

e23fd1f382 refactor(compiler-cli): emit forwardRef invocation for forward type references (#40117)
The types of directives and pipes that are used in a component's
template may be emitted into the partial declaration wrapped inside a
closure, which is needed when the type is declared later in the module.
This poses a problem for JIT compilation of partial declarations, as
this closure is indistinguishable from a class reference itself. To mark
the forward reference function as such, this commit changes the partial
declaration codegen to emit a `forwardRef` invocation wrapped around
the closure, which ensures that the closure is properly tagged as a
forward reference. This allows the forward reference to be treated as
such during JIT compilation.

caa4666335 fix(compiler): avoid duplicate i18n blocks for i18n attrs on elements with structural directives (#40077)
Currently when `ɵɵtemplate` and `ɵɵelement` instructions are generated by compiler, all static attributes are
duplicated for both instructions. As a part of this duplication, i18n translation blocks for static i18n attributes
are generated twice as well, causing duplicate entries in extracted translation files (when Ivy extraction mechanisms
are used). This commit fixes this issue by introducing a cache for i18n translation blocks (for static attributes
only).

1f73af77a7 refactor(compiler-cli): use ngDevMode guard for setClassMetadata call (#39987)
Prior to this change, the `setClassMetadata` call would be invoked
inside of an IIFE that was marked as pure. This allows the call to be
tree-shaken away in production builds, as the `setClassMetadata` call
is only present to make the original class metadata available to the
testing infrastructure. The pure marker is problematic, though, as the
`setClassMetadata` call does in fact have the side-effect of assigning
the metadata into class properties. This has worked under the assumption
that only build optimization tools perform tree-shaking, however modern
bundlers are also able to elide calls that have been marked pure so this
assumption does no longer hold. Instead, an `ngDevMode` guard is used
which still allows the call to be elided but only by tooling that is
configured to consider `ngDevMode` as constant `false` value.

This commit does not yet enable accurate source maps into external

which is non-trivial. Inline templates that were represented using a

the accuracy of source maps is not currently verified in tests; this is

cbc0907bfd fix(compiler): preserve this.$event and this.$any accesses in expressions (#39323)
Currently expressions `$event.foo()` and `this.$event.foo()`, as well as `$any(foo)` and
`this.$any(foo)`, are treated as the same expression by the compiler, because `this` is considered
the same implicit receiver as when the receiver is omitted. This introduces the following issues:

1. Any time something called `$any` is used, it'll be stripped away, leaving only the first parameter.
2. If something called `$event` is used anywhere in a template, it'll be preserved as `$event`,
rather than being rewritten to `ctx.$event`, causing the value to undefined at runtime. This
applies to listener, property and text bindings.

These changes resolve the first issue and part of the second one by preserving anything that
is accessed through `this`, even if it's one of the "special" ones like `$any` or `$event`.
Furthermore, these changes only expose the `$event` global variable inside event listeners,

3241d922fc refactor(compiler): parse bindings "by hand" rather than via regex (#39375)
To support recovery of malformed binding property names like `([a)`,

kinds of bindings it can detect. This is difficult to do maintainably
with a regex, but is trivial with a "hand-rolled" string parser. This
commit refactors render3's binding attribute parsing to use this method
for multi-delimited bindings (namely via the `()`, `[]`, and `[()]`)
syntax, making the way recovery of malformed bindings in a future patch.

Note that we can keep using a regex for prefix-only binding syntax
(e.g. `bind-`, `ref-`) because validation of the binding is complete
once we have matched the prefix, and the only thing left to do is check
that the binding identifier is non-empty, which is trivial.

6e18d2dacc fix(compiler): promote constants in templates to Trusted Types (#39211)
Angular treats constant values of attributes and properties in templates
as secure. This means that these values are not sanitized, and are
instead passed directly to the corresponding setAttribute or setProperty
function. In cases where the given attribute or property is

To address this, functions for promoting constant strings to each of the
three Trusted Types are introduced to Angular's private codegen API. The
compiler is updated to wrap constant strings with calls to these
functions as appropriate when constructing the `consts` array. This is
only done for security-sensitive attributes and properties, as
classified by Angular's dom_security_schema.

     source span for all `BoundAttribute`s generated from microsyntax
```
the `BoundAttribute` for both `ngForOf` and `ngForTrackBy`
share the same source span.

A lot of hacks were necessary in View Engine language service to work
around this limitation. It was done by inspecting the whole source span
then figuring out the relative position of the cursor.

With this change, we introduce a flag to set the binding span as the
source span of the `ParsedProperty` in Ivy AST.
This flag is needed so that we don't have to change VE ASTs.

Note that in the binding parser, we already set `bindingSpan` as the
source span for a `ParsedVariable`, and `keySpan` as the source span for
a literal attribute. This change makes the Ivy AST more consistent by
propagating the binding span to `ParsedProperty` as well.

c74917a7d5 refactor(compiler-cli): update type checker symbols to include more information (#38844)
This commit updates the symbols in the TemplateTypeCheck API and methods
for retrieving them:

* Include `isComponent` and `selector` for directives so callers can determine which
attributes on an element map to the matched directives.
* Add a new `TextAttributeSymbol` and return this when requesting a symbol for a `TextAttribute`.
* When requesting a symbol for `PropertyWrite` and `MethodCall`, use the
`nameSpan` to retrieve symbols.
* Add fix to retrieve generic directives attached to elements/templates.

239968d2f1 feat(compiler): Add keySpan to Variable Node (#38965)
Now that we have `keySpan` for `BoundAttribute` (implemented in
https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/38898) we could do the same
for `Variable`.

This would allow us to distinguish the LHS and RHS from the whole source
span.

ba3f4c26bb refactor(compiler): make keySpan available for BoundAttributes (#38898)
Though we currently have the knowledge of where the `key` for an
attribute binding appears during parsing, we do not propagate this
information to the output AST. This means that once we produce the
template AST, we have no way of mapping a template position to the key
span alone. The best we can currently do is map back to the
`sourceSpan`. This presents problems downstream, specifically for the
language service, where we cannot provide correct information about a
position in a template because the AST is not granular enough.

d795a00137 refactor(compiler): replace Comment nodes with leadingComments property (#38811)
Common AST formats such as TS and Babel do not use a separate
node for comments, but instead attach comments to other AST nodes.
Previously this was worked around in TS by creating a `NotEmittedStatement`
AST node to attach the comment to. But Babel does not have this facility,
so it will not be a viable approach for the linker.

This commit refactors the output AST, to remove the `CommentStmt` and
`JSDocCommentStmt` nodes. Instead statements have a collection of
`leadingComments` that are rendered/attached to the final AST nodes
when being translated or printed.
