Gets the LLVM type corresponding to a Rust type, i.e., rustc_middle::ty::Ty
.
The pointee type of the pointer in PlaceRef
is always this type.
For sized types, it is also the right LLVM type for an alloca
containing a value of that type, and most immediates (except bool
).
Unsized types, however, are represented by a “minimal unit”, e.g.
[T]
becomes T
, while str
and Trait
turn into i8
- this
is useful for indexing slices, as &[T]
’s data pointer is T*
.
If the type is an unsized struct, the regular layout is generated,
with the inner-most trailing unsized field using the “minimal unit”
of that field’s type - this is useful for taking the address of
that field and ensuring the struct has the right alignment.
