trans.rs

// trans.rs: Translate the completed AST to the LLVM IR.
//
// Some functions here, such as trans_block and trans_expr, return a value --
// the result of the translation to LLVM -- while others, such as trans_fn,
// trans_obj, and trans_item, are called only for the side effect of adding a
// particular definition to the LLVM IR output we're producing.
//
// Hopefully useful general knowledge about trans:
//
//   * There's no way to find out the ty::t type of a ValueRef.  Doing so
//     would be "trying to get the eggs out of an omelette" (credit:
//     pcwalton).  You can, instead, find out its TypeRef by calling val_ty,
//     but many TypeRefs correspond to one ty::t; for instance, tup(int, int,
//     int) and rec(x=int, y=int, z=int) will have the same TypeRef.

 * A note on nomenclature of linking: "upcall", "extern" and "native".
 *
 * An "extern" is an LLVM symbol we wind up emitting an undefined external
 * reference to. This means "we don't have the thing in this compilation unit,
 * please make sure you link it in at runtime". This could be a reference to
 * C code found in a C library, or rust code found in a rust crate.
 *
 * A "native" is an extern that references C code. Called with cdecl.
 *
 * An upcall is a native call generated by the compiler (not corresponding to
 * any user-written call in the code) into librustrt, to perform some helper
 * task such as bringing a task to life, allocating memory, etc.

  Suppose we create an anonymous object my_b from a regular object a:

                ret 2;

        }

       auto my_a = a();
       auto my_b = obj { fn baz() -> int { ret self.foo() } with my_a };

  Here we're extending the my_a object with an additional method baz, creating
  an object my_b. Since it's an object, my_b is a pair of a vtable pointer and
  a body pointer:

  my_b: [vtbl* | body*]

  my_b's vtable has entries for foo, bar, and baz, whereas my_a's vtable has
  only foo and bar. my_b's 3-entry vtable consists of two forwarding functions
  and one real method.

  my_b's body just contains the pair a: [ a_vtable | a_body ], wrapped up with
  any additional fields that my_b added. None were added, so my_b is just the
  wrapped inner object.
