rucc_types/types.rs
1//! The type table: interning, canonicalisation, and the nominal declarations.
2//!
3//! Design: `spec/07-types-and-semantics.md` section 7.1.
4//!
5//! There is one [`Types`] per translation unit and every [`TypeId`] belongs to it. Interning
6//! is what makes type identity an integer comparison, which is the single most frequent
7//! question the compiler asks, and it is also what makes the canonical form free to look up:
8//! each entry stores the id of its own canonical type, so stripping a stack of typedefs is one
9//! array read rather than a walk.
