Before this PR, the compiler would emit the debuginfo name `slice$<T>` for all kinds of slices, regardless of whether they are behind a reference or not and regardless of the kind of reference. As a consequence, the types `Foo<&[T]>`, `Foo<[T]>`, and `Foo<&mut [T]>` would end up with the same type name `Foo<slice$<T> >` in debuginfo, making it impossible to disambiguate between them by name. Similarly, `&str` would get the name `str` in debuginfo, so the debuginfo name for `Foo<str>` and `Foo<&str>` would be the same. In contrast, `*const [bool]` and `*mut [bool]` would be `ptr_const$<slice$<bool> >` and `ptr_mut$<slice$<bool> >`, i.e. the encoding does not lose information about the type. This PR removes all special handling for slices and `str`. The types `&[bool]`, `&mut [bool]`, and `&str` thus get the names `ref$<slice2$<bool> >`, `ref_mut$<slice2$<bool> >`, and `ref$<str$>` respectively -- as one would expect. |
