`Type::TypeVar` now distinguishes whether the typevar in question is
inferable or not.
A typevar is _not inferable_ inside the body of the generic class or
function that binds it:
```py
def f[T](t: T) -> T:
return t
```
The infered type of `t` in the function body is `TypeVar(T,
NotInferable)`. This represents how e.g. assignability checks need to be
valid for all possible specializations of the typevar. Most of the
existing assignability/etc logic only applies to non-inferable typevars.
Outside of the function body, the typevar is _inferable_:
```py
f(4)
```
Here, the parameter type of `f` is `TypeVar(T, Inferable)`. This
represents how e.g. assignability doesn't need to hold for _all_
specializations; instead, we need to find the constraints under which
this specific assignability check holds.
This is in support of starting to perform specialization inference _as
part of_ performing the assignability check at the call site.
In the [[POPL2015][]] paper, this concept is called _monomorphic_ /
_polymorphic_, but I thought _non-inferable_ / _inferable_ would be
clearer for us.
Depends on #19784

This fixes our logic for binding a legacy typevar with its binding
context. (To recap, a legacy typevar starts out "unbound" when it is
first created, and each time it's used in a generic class or function,
we "bind" it with the corresponding `Definition`.)
We treat `typing.Self` the same as a legacy typevar, and so we apply
this binding logic to it too. Before, we were using the enclosing class
as its binding context. But that's not correct — it's the method where
`typing.Self` is used that binds the typevar. (Each invocation of the
method will find a new specialization of `Self` based on the specific
instance type containing the invoked method.)
This required plumbing through some additional state to the
`in_type_expression` method.
This also revealed that we weren't handling `Self`-typed instance
attributes correctly (but were coincidentally not getting the expected
false positive diagnostics).
This PR introduces a few related changes:
- We now keep track of each time a legacy typevar is bound in a
different generic context (e.g. class, function), and internally create
a new `TypeVarInstance` for each usage. This means the rest of the code
can now assume that salsa-equivalent `TypeVarInstance`s refer to the
same typevar, even taking into account that legacy typevars can be used
more than once.
- We also go ahead and track the binding context of PEP 695 typevars.
That's _much_ easier to track since we have the binding context right
there during type inference.
- With that in place, we can now include the name of the binding context
when rendering typevars (e.g. `T@f` instead of `T`)
We were not inducting into instance types and subclass-of types when
looking for legacy typevars, nor when apply specializations.
This addresses
https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/17832#discussion_r2081502056
```py
from __future__ import annotations
from typing import TypeVar, Any, reveal_type
S = TypeVar("S")
class Foo[T]:
def method(self, other: Foo[S]) -> Foo[T | S]: ... # type: ignore[invalid-return-type]
def f(x: Foo[Any], y: Foo[Any]):
reveal_type(x.method(y)) # revealed: `Foo[Any | S]`, but should be `Foo[Any]`
```
We were not detecting that `S` made `method` generic, since we were not
finding it when searching the function signature for legacy typevars.
## Summary
Fixes: astral-sh/ty#159
This PR adds support for using `Self` in methods.
When the type of an annotation is `TypingSelf` it is converted to a type
var based on:
https://typing.python.org/en/latest/spec/generics.html#self
I just skipped Protocols because it had more problems and the tests was
not useful.
Also I need to create a follow up PR that implicitly assumes `self`
argument has type `Self`.
In order to infer the type in the `in_type_expression` method I needed
to have scope id and semantic index available. I used the idea from
[this PR](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/17589/files) to pass
additional context to this method.
Also I think in all places that `in_type_expression` is called we need
to have this context because `Self` can be there so I didn't split the
method into one version with context and one without.
## Test Plan
Added new tests from spec.
