LLVM 18 x86 data layout update With https://reviews.llvm.org/D86310 LLVM now has i128 aligned to 16-bytes on x86 based platforms. This will be in LLVM-18. This patch updates all our spec targets to be 16-byte aligned, and removes the alignment when speaking to older LLVM. This results in Rust overaligning things relative to LLVM on older LLVMs. This implements MCP https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/683. See #54341
The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax
– that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).
For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
