1//! Platform-specific types, as defined by C.
2//!
3//! Code that interacts via FFI will almost certainly be using the
4//! base types provided by C, which aren't nearly as nicely defined
5//! as Rust's primitive types. This module provides types which will
6//! match those defined by C, so that code that interacts with C will
7//! refer to the correct types.

51//     LLVM bitcode. The enum used here ensures this and prevents misuse
52//     of the "raw" type by only having private variants. We need two
53//     variants, because the compiler complains about the repr attribute
54//     otherwise and we need at least one variant as otherwise the enum
55//     would be uninhabited and at least dereferencing such pointers would
56//     be UB.
