Stop adding '*' at the end of slice and str typenames for MSVC case When computing debug info for MSVC debuggers, Rust compiler emits C++ style type names for compatibility with .natvis visualizers. All Ref types are treated as equivalences of C++ pointers in this process, and, as a result, their type names end with a '\*'. Since Slice and Str are treated as Ref by the compiler, their type names also end with a '\*'. This causes the .natvis engine for WinDbg fails to display data of Slice and Str objects. We addressed this problem simply by removing the '*' at the end of type names for Slice and Str types. Debug info in WinDbg before the fix: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/74681961/99594120-9a4dcf80-29a7-11eb-8cce-aedaf1da6d21.png) Debug info in WinDbg after the fix: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/74681961/99597173-717c0900-29ac-11eb-861e-98143a9177cf.png) This change has also been tested with debuggers for Visual Studio, VS Code C++ and VS Code LLDB to make sure that it does not affect the behavior of other kinds of debugger. |
