This commit - changes names to use di_node instead of metadata - uniformly names all functions that build new debuginfo nodes build_xyz_di_node - renames CrateDebugContext to CodegenUnitDebugContext (which is more accurate) - moves TypeMap and functions that work directly work with it to a new type_map module - moves and reimplements enum related builder functions to a new enums module - splits enum debuginfo building for the native and cpp-like cases, since they are mostly separate - uses SmallVec instead of Vec in many places - removes the old infrastructure for dealing with recursion cycles (create_and_register_recursive_type_forward_declaration(), RecursiveTypeDescription, set_members_of_composite_type(), MemberDescription, MemberDescriptionFactory, prepare_xyz_metadata(), etc) - adds type_map::build_type_with_children() as a replacement for dealing with recursion cycles - adds many (doc-)comments explaining what's going on - changes cpp-like naming for C-Style enums so they don't get a enum$<...> name (because the NatVis visualizer does not apply to them) - fixes detection of what is a C-style enum because some enums where classified as C-style even though they have fields - changes the position of discriminant debuginfo node so it is consistently nested inside the top-level union instead of, sometimes, next to it
The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR,
and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code
that runs towards the end of the compilation process.
For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
