Expand description
Checking that constant values used in types can be successfully evaluated.
For concrete constants, this is fairly simple as we can just try and evaluate it.
When dealing with polymorphic constants, for example std::mem::size_of::<T>() - 1
,
this is not as easy.
In this case we try to build an abstract representation of this constant using
thir_abstract_const
which can then be checked for structural equality with other
generic constants mentioned in the caller_bounds
of the current environment.
