Restoring the `num_def_ids` function in the CStore API ## The context I am the maintainer of https://github.com/hacspec/hacspec, an embedded Rust DSL aimed at cryptographic specifications. As it is normal for an embedded DSL, Hacspec's compiler relies on being plugged to the internal API of the Rust compiler, which is unstable and subject to changes. ## The problem The Hacspec compiler features its own typechecker, that performs an additional, more restrictive typechecking pass over the Rust code of a crate. To complete this typechecking, the Hacspec compiler needs to retrieve the signature of functions defined in non-local imported crates. Rather than retrieving these signatures on-demand, the Hacspec compiler pre-populates its typechecking context with all the Hacspec-compatible symbols defined in non-local crates first. This requires having a way to iterate over all the definitions in a non-local crate. I used to do this with `CrateMetadata::all_def_path_hashes_and_def_ids`, but this function was deleted in |
