The internal function was unsound, it could cause UB in rare cases where
the user inadvertly stored the returned object in a location that could
outlive the TyCtxt.
In order to make it safe, we now take a type context as an argument to
the internal fn, and we ensure that interned items are lifted using the
provided context.
Thus, this change ensures that the compiler can properly enforce
that the object does not outlive the type context it was lifted to.
This change introduces a new module to StableMIR named `abi` with
information from `rustc_target::abi` and `rustc_abi`, that allow users
to retrieve more low level information required to perform
bit-precise analysis.
The layout of a type can be retrieved via `Ty::layout`, and the instance
ABI can be retrieved via `Instance::fn_abi()`.
To properly handle errors while retrieve layout information, we had
to implement a few layout related traits.
In cases like Kani, we will invoke the rustc_internal run command
directly for now. It would be handly to be able to have a callback
that can return a value.
We also need extra methods to convert stable constructs into internal
ones, so we can break down the transition into finer grain commits.
We are not planning to support user generated constant in the
foreseeable future, so we are removing the Fold logic for now in
favor of the Instance::resolve logic.
The Instance::resolve was however incomplete, since we weren't handling
internalizing constants yet. Thus, I added that.
I decided to keep the Const fields private in case we decide to
translate them lazily.
The `Instance::body()` returns a monomorphized body.
For that, we had to implement visitor that monomorphize types and
constants. We are also introducing the RustcInternal trait that will
allow us to convert back from Stable to Internal.
Note that this trait is not yet visible for our users as it depends on
Tables. We should probably add a new trait that can be exposed.
