The current logic in the compiler is to bail when there are errors when
parsing a template into an HTML AST or when there are errors in the i18n
metadata. As a result, a template with these types of parse errors
_will not have any information for the language service_. This is because we
never attempt to conver the HTML AST to a template AST in these
scenarios, so there are no template AST nodes for the language service
to look at for information. In addition, this also means that the errors
are never displayed in the template to the user because there are no
nodes to map the error to.
This commit adds an option to the template parser to temporarily ignore
the html parse and i18n meta errors and always perform the template AST
conversion. At the end, the i18n and HTML parse errors are appended to
the returned errors list. While this seems risky, it at least provides
us with more information than we had before (which was 0) and it's only
done in the context of the language service, when the compiler is
configured to use poisoned data (HTML parse and i18n meta errors can be
interpreted as a "poisoned" template).

This is a pre-requisite for #40360. Given the following template which has a listener
that references a variable from a parent template (`name`):
```
<ng-template let-name="name">
<button (click)="hello(name)"></button>
</ng-template>
```
We generate code that looks that looks like. Note how we access `name` through `ctx`:
```js
function template(rf, ctx) {
if (rf & 1) {
const r0 = ɵɵgetCurrentView();
ɵɵelementStart(0, "button", 2);
ɵɵlistener("click", function() {
ɵɵrestoreView(r0);
const name_r0 = ctx.name; // Note the `ctx.name` access here.
const ctx_r1 = ɵɵnextContext();
return ctx_r1.log(name_r0);
});
ɵɵelementEnd();
}
}
```
This works fine at the moment, because the template context object can't be changed after creation.
The changes in #40360 allow for the object to be changed, which means that the `ctx` reference
inside the listener will be out of date, because it was bound during creation mode.
This PR aims to address the issue by accessing the context inside listeners through the saved
view reference. With the new code, the generated code from above will look as follows:
```js
function template(rf, ctx) {
if (rf & 1) {
const r0 = ɵɵgetCurrentView();
ɵɵelementStart(0, "button", 2);
ɵɵlistener("click", function() {
const restoredCtx = ɵɵrestoreView(r0);
const name_r0 = restoredCtx.name;
const ctx_r1 = ɵɵnextContext();
return ctx_r1.log(name_r0);
});
ɵɵelementEnd();
}

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"

affect source map accuracy. This commit configures this diagnostic parse to

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']))`.

this closure is indistinguishable from a class reference itself. To mark

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.

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,

To support recovery of malformed binding property names like `([a)`,
`[a`, or `()`, the binding parser needs to be more permissive w.r.t. the
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.

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

functions as appropriate when constructing the `consts` array. This is
only done for security-sensitive attributes and properties, as
