Johnni Winther 9ca19cac6f [kernel] Change encoding of types in constants to not be offset by the context
Function type parameters in occurring in constants were using an offset
based on the context in which the constant first occurred. This meant
that function type parameters occurring in a generic context would have
a different offset that those occurring in a non-generic context.

The loading of .dill in ast_from_binary would read all constants outside
the context and would therefore get the indices wrong on generic
function types.

This CL changes the encoding of these type parameters to always use
a fresh context.

Closes #45415

Dart Kernel

Dart Kernel is a small high-level language derived from Dart. It is designed for use as an intermediate format for whole-program analysis and transformations, and to be consumed by codegen and execution backends.

The kernel language has an in-memory representation in Dart and can be serialized as binary or text.

Both the kernel language and its implementations are unstable and are under development.

This package contains the Dart part of the implementation and contains:

  • A transformable IR for the kernel language
  • Serialization of kernel code

Note: The APIs in this package are in an early state; developers should be careful about depending on this package. In particular, there is no semver contract for release versions of this package. Please depend directly on individual versions.

See ast.dart for the in-memory IR, or binary.md for a description of the binary format. For now, the textual format is very ad-hoc and cannot be parsed back in.
