This option makes ngc behave as tsc, and was originally implemented before
ngtsc existed. It was designed so we could build JIT-only versions of
Angular packages to begin testing Ivy early, and is not used at all in our
current setup.

In Angular today, the following pattern works:
```typescript
export class BaseDir {
constructor(@Inject(ViewContainerRef) protected vcr: ViewContainerRef) {}
}
@Directive({
selector: '[child]',
})
export class ChildDir extends BaseDir {
// constructor inherited from BaseDir
}
```
A decorated child class can inherit a constructor from an undecorated base
class, so long as the base class has metadata of its own (for JIT mode).
This pattern works regardless of metadata in AOT.
In Angular Ivy, this pattern does not work: without the @Directive
annotation identifying the base class as a directive, information about its
constructor parameters will not be captured by the Ivy compiler. This is a
result of Ivy's locality principle, which is the basis behind a number of
compilation optimizations.
As a solution, @Directive() without a selector will be interpreted as a
"directive base class" annotation. Such a directive cannot be declared in an
NgModule, but can be inherited from. To implement this, a few changes are
made to the ngc compiler:
* the error for a selector-less directive is now generated when an NgModule
declaring it is processed, not when the directive itself is processed.
* selector-less directives are not tracked along with other directives in
the compiler, preventing other errors (like their absence in an NgModule)
from being generated from them.

Similar to interpolation, we do not want to completely remove whitespace
nodes that are siblings of an expansion.
For example, the following template
```html
<div>
<strong>items left<strong> {count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}
</div>
```
was being collapsed to
```html
<div><strong>items left<strong>{count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}</div>
```
which results in the text looking like
```
items left4
```
instead it should be collapsed to
```html
<div><strong>items left<strong> {count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}</div>
```
which results in the text looking like
```
items left 4
```

**Analysis of the code and manual testing has shown that this does not cause
the generated ids to change, so there is no breaking change here.**

Template AST nodes for (bound) attributes, variables and references will
now retain a reference to the source span of their value, which allows
for more accurate type check diagnostics.

Currently we always generate the `read` parameter for the view and content query instructions, however since most of the time the `read` parameter won't be set, we'll end up generating `null` which adds 5 bytes for each query when minified. These changes make it so that the `read` parameter only gets generated if it has a value.

This commit updates the `_clone` function of the `_ApplySourceSpanTransformer` class, where the for-in loop was used, resulting in copying from prototype to own properties, thus consuming more memory. Prior to NodeJS 12 (V8 versions before 7.4) there was an optimization that was improving the situation and since that logic was removed in favor of other optimizations, the situation with memory consumption caused by the for-in loop got worse. This commit adds a check to make sure we copy only own properties over to cloned object.
Closes#31627.

When injecting a `ChangeDetectorRef` into a pipe, the expected result is that the ref will be tied to the component in which the pipe is being used. This works for most cases, however when a pipe is used inside a property binding of a component (see test case as an example), the current `TNode` is pointing to component's host so we end up injecting the inner component's view. These changes fix the issue by only looking up the component view of the `TNode` if the `TNode` is a parent.

Currently, template expressions and statements have their location
recorded relative to the HTML element they are in, with no handle to
absolute location in a source file except for a line/column location.
However, the line/column location is also not entirely accurate, as it
points an entire semantic expression, and not necessarily the start of
an expression recorded by the expression parser.
To support record of the source code expressions originate from, add a
new `sourceSpan` field to `ASTWithSource` that records the absolute byte
offset of an expression within a source code.

stability](https://hackmd.io/@X3ECPVy-RCuVfba-pnvIpw/BkDUxaW84/%2FMA1oxh6jRXqSmZBcLfYdyw?type=book).

This commit is the final patch of the ivy styling algorithm refactor.
This patch swaps functionality from the old styling mechanism to the
new refactored code by changing the instruction code the compiler
generates and by pointing the runtime instruction code to the new
styling algorithm.

As part of FW-1265, the `@angular/compiler` package is made compatible
with the TypeScript `--strict` flag. This already unveiled a few bugs,
so the strictness flag seems to help with increasing the overall code health.

Fixes Ivy matching directives against attribute bindings (e.g. `[attr.some-directive]="foo"`). Works by excluding attribute bindings from the attributes array during compilation. This has the added benefit of generating less code.
**Note:** My initial approach to implementing this was to have a different marker for attribute bindings so that they can be ignored when matching directives, however as I was implementing it I realized that the attributes in that array were only used for directive matching (as far as I could tell). I decided to drop the attribute bindings completely, because it results in less generated code.
PR Close#31541
Currently we reuse the same instruction both for regular property bindings and property bindings on the `host`. The only difference between the two is that when it's on the host we shouldn't support inputs. We have an optional parameter called `nativeOnly` which is used to differentiate the two, however since `nativeOnly` is preceeded by another optional parameter (`sanitizer`), we have to generate two extra parameters for each host property bindings every time (e.g. `property('someProp', 'someValue', null, true)`).
These changes add a new instruction called `hostProperty` which avoids the need for the two parameters by removing `nativeOnly` which is always set and it allows us to omit `sanitizer` when it isn't being used.
These changes also remove the `nativeOnly` parameter from the `updateSyntheticHostBinding` instruction, because it's only generated for host elements which means that we can assume that its value will always be `true`.

Prior to this fix, the logic to set the right placeholder format for ICUs was a bit incorrect: if there was a nested ICU in one of the root ICU cases, that led to a problem where placeholders in subsequent branches used the wrong ({$placeholder}) format instead of {PLACEHOLDER} one. This commit updates the logic to make sure we properly transform all placeholders even if nested ICUs are present.
PR Close#31516
Since `goog.getMsg` does not process ICUs (post-processing is required via goog.i18n.MessageFormat, https://google.github.io/closure-library/api/goog.i18n.MessageFormat.html) and placeholder format used for ICUs and regular messages inside `goog.getMsg` are different, the current implementation (that assumed the same placeholder format) needs to be updated. This commit updates placeholder format used inside ICUs from `{$placeholder}` to `{PLACEHOLDER}` to better align with Closure. ICU placeholders (that were left as is prior to this commit) are now replaced with actual values in post-processing step (inside `i18nPostprocess`).

Adds the new `classMapInterpolate1` through `classMapInterpolate8` instructions which handle interpolations inside the `class` attribute and moves the interpolation logic internally. This allows us to remove the `interpolationX` instructions in a follow-up PR.
These changes also add an error if an interpolation is encountered inside a `style` tag (e.g. `style="width: {{value}}"`). Up until now this would actually generate valid instructions, because `styleMap` goes through the same code path as `classMap` which does support interpolation. At runtime, however, `styleMap` would set invalid styles that look like `<div style="0:w;1:i;2:d;3:t;4:h;5::;7:1;">`. In `ViewEngine` interpolations inside `style` weren't supported either, however there we'd output invalid styles like `<div style="unsafe">`, even if the content was trusted.
PR Close#31211
When a class uses Angular decorators such as `@Input`, `@Output` and
friends without an Angular class decorator, they are compiled into a
static `ngBaseDef` field on the class, with the TypeScript declaration
of the class being altered to declare the `ngBaseDef` field to be of type
`ɵɵBaseDef`. This type however requires a generic type parameter that
corresponds with the type of the class, however the compiler did not
provide this type parameter. As a result, compiling a program where such
invalid `ngBaseDef` declarations are present will result in compilation
errors.
This commit fixes the problem by providing the generic type parameter.
