rucc-types 0.2.16

The C type system, interned, and layout computation.
Documentation
//! How large a type is and what it has to be aligned to, computed from the target description.
//!
//! Design: `spec/07-types-and-semantics.md` section 7.1 and `spec/18-package-layout.md`
//! section 18.2, which is the rule that none of this may be a `#[cfg]`.
//!
//! Every number here comes out of [`TargetInfo`] rather than out of the host. That is not
//! pedantry: `long` is four bytes on Windows and eight on Linux, `long double` is eight bytes
//! on Apple and sixteen on SysV x86-64, and a cross compiler that asks its own platform gets
//! both of them wrong. The widths were checked against GCC 13 on x86-64 Linux and against
//! clang on AArch64 Darwin rather than recalled.
//!
//! [`integer_info`] is here for the same reason and answers a neighbouring question: not how
//! large the object is but how wide the value in it is, which is not the same number for `bool`
//! or for a `_BitInt` and is what folding a constant depends on.
//!
//! Records are the one thing not computed here. Their layout depends on their members, on
//! bit-field packing and on attributes, so it is computed by whoever walks the members and
//! recorded with [`Types::complete_record`](crate::Types::complete_record); this module reads
//! it back.
