Closes#8506.
The `trans::adt` code for statics uses fields with `C_undef` values to
insert alignment padding (because LLVM's own alignment padding isn't
always sufficient for aggregate constants), and assumes that all fields
in the actual Rust value are represented by non-undef LLVM values, to
distinguish them from that padding.
But for nullable pointer enums, if non-null variant has fields other
than the pointer used as the discriminant, they would be set to undef in
the null case, to reflect that they're never accessed.
To avoid the obvious conflict between these two items, the latter undefs
were wrapped in unary LLVM structs to distinguish them from the former
undefs. Except this doesn't actually work -- LLVM, not unreasonably,
treats the "wrapped undef" as a regular undef.
So this commit just sets all fields to null in the null pointer case of
a nullable pointer enum static, because the other fields don't really
need to be undef in the first place.

Major changes:
- Define temporary scopes in a syntax-based way that basically defaults
to the innermost statement or conditional block, except for in
a `let` initializer, where we default to the innermost block. Rules
are documented in the code, but not in the manual (yet).
See new test run-pass/cleanup-value-scopes.rs for examples.
- Refactors Datum to better define cleanup roles.
- Refactor cleanup scopes to not be tied to basic blocks, permitting
us to have a very large number of scopes (one per AST node).
- Introduce nascent documentation in trans/doc.rs covering datums and
cleanup in a more comprehensive way.
That is, if you have an enum type that is subject to the nullable
pointer optimization, but the null variant has a nonzero number of
fields, and you declare a static whose value is of that variant, then
that used to be an ICE but this change fixes it.
This is needed so that the FFI works as expected on platforms that don't
flatten aggregates the way the AMD64 ABI does, especially for `#[repr(C)]`.
This moves more of `type_of` into `trans::adt`, because the type might
or might not be an LLVM struct.
The previous implementation, when combined with small discriminants and
immediate types, caused problems for types like `Either<u8, i16>` which
are now small enough to be immediate and can have fields intersecting
the highest-alignment variant's alignment padding (which LLVM doesn't
preserve). So let's not do that.
Note that raising an error during trans doesn't stop the compile or cause
rustc to exit with a failure status, currently, so this is of more than
cosmetic importance.
Allows an enum with a discriminant to use any of the primitive integer
types to store it. By default the smallest usable type is chosen, but
this can be overridden with an attribute: `#[repr(int)]` etc., or
`#[repr(C)]` to match the target's C ABI for the equivalent C enum.
This commit breaks a few things, due to transmutes that now no longer
match in size, or u8 enums being passed to C that expects int, or
reflection; later commits on this branch fix them.
- Made naming schemes consistent between Option, Result and Either
- Changed Options Add implementation to work like the maybe monad (return None if any of the inputs is None)
- Removed duplicate Option::get and renamed all related functions to use the term `unwrap` instead
Infers type of constants used as discriminants and ensures they are
integral, instead of forcing them to be a signed integer.
Also, stores discriminant values as uint instead of int interally and
deals with related fallout.
Fixes issue #7994
