classify.rs

1//! What category a type is in, which is what almost every constraint in C is written over.
2//!
3//! Design: `spec/07-types-and-semantics.md` section 7.1.
4//!
5//! The standard states its rules in terms of categories rather than types: an operand of `%`
6//! must have integer type, an operand of `!` must have scalar type, a member of a `struct` must
7//! have complete object type. Those categories are asked about constantly and they are exactly
8//! where a compiler drifts, because each of them has one or two members nobody remembers.
9//!
10//! The three that get forgotten:
11//!
12//! An enumeration is an integer type. `enum e x; x % 2` is legal C and a compiler that asks
13//! whether the kind is `Int` says it is not.
14//!
15//! `_Atomic(T)` is in whatever category `T` is in. It is a type here rather than a qualifier,
16//! which is the right way round for spelling it and the wrong way round for this question, so
17//! everything below looks through it. `_Atomic(int)` is an integer type.
18//!
19//! `void` is an object type and is never a complete one. Those are two different questions and
20//! collapsing them is how `sizeof (void)` ends up either accepted or rejected for the wrong
21//! reason, since it is a constraint violation that gcc accepts as an extension worth one byte.
22//!
23//! Every question here reads [`Types::canonical`], so a typedef name answers as what it names.
