The code that consumes PointerKind (`adjust_for_rust_scalar` in rustc_ty_utils)
ended up using PointerKind variants to talk about Rust reference types (& and
&mut) anyway, making the old code structure quite confusing: one always had to
keep in mind which PointerKind corresponds to which type. So this changes
PointerKind to directly reflect the type.
This does not change behavior.
...and remove it from `PointeeInfo`, which isn't meant for this.
There are still various places (marked with FIXMEs) that assume all pointers
have the same size and alignment. Fixing this requires parsing non-default
address spaces in the data layout string, which will be done in a followup.
there were fixmes for this already
i am about to remove is_ptr (since callers need to properly distinguish
between pointers in different address spaces), so might as well do this
at the same time
Add StableOrd trait as proposed in MCP 533.
The `StableOrd` trait can be used to mark types as having a stable sort order across compilation sessions. Collections that sort their items in a stable way can safely implement HashStable by hashing items in sort order.
See https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/533 for more information.
Remove useless borrows and derefs
They are nothing more than noise.
<sub>These are not all of them, but my clippy started crashing (stack overflow), so rip :(</sub>
