dxil-reader 0.4.0

//! LLVM 3.7 IR as DXIL stores it, read from the bitstream tree: the type table, module values (globals, functions,
//! constants), metadata, value names and function bodies. Only what DXIL programs use is decoded; any other record in a
//! function body is refused by name. The blocks of a function body that say nothing a reader of the program's behaviour needs (its metadata and its
//! use-list order) are the only things skipped. The metadata attached to an instruction or a function is kept as the
//! pairs the file stores ([`Instruction::attachments`], [`Function::attachments`], with the kind names in
//! [`Module::kinds`]), `dx.precise` also as [`Instruction::precise`]; the attribute groups and lists are kept as stored
//! ([`Module::attribute_groups`], [`Module::attribute_lists`]) and each function value names its list.
