rucc-types 0.2.21

//! Type compatibility and the composite type.
//!
//! Design: `spec/07-types-and-semantics.md` section 7.2.
//!
//! Compatibility, 6.2.7, is the looser relation that identity is not. Two types are the same
//! when they are the same id, which is what the interner is for; two types are compatible when
//! C says a declaration of one may follow a declaration of the other. `int f(int a[3])` and
//! `int f(int *a)` declare the same function, an `enum` is compatible with whatever it is
//! represented in, and an array with a size is compatible with one without.
//!
//! The composite type, 6.2.7p3, is what a redeclaration leaves behind: the type that takes the
//! array size from whichever declaration had one and the parameter list from whichever
//! declaration was a prototype. `extern int a[]; int a[4];` has to end up with an array of
//! four, and a compiler that keeps the first type instead has lost the size for good.
//!
//! The rules here were checked by writing each pair of declarations and seeing which ones gcc
//! 13.3 and clang 18 refuse. They agree everywhere except one place, recorded on
//! [`records`]: clang implements the C23 rule that an identical structure redefinition in one
//! translation unit is the same type, and gcc 13.3 still rejects it.
//!
//! Nothing in here needs the target. Everything target dependent about a type has already been
//! decided by the time it is in the table: an enumeration knows what it is represented in and
//! an array knows how many elements it has.
