//! # Representation of Algebraic Data Types
//!
//! This module determines how to represent enums, structs, and tuples
//! based on their monomorphized types; it is responsible both for
//! choosing a representation and translating basic operations on
//! values of those types.  (Note: exporting the representations for
//! debuggers is handled in debuginfo.rs, not here.)
//!
//! Note that the interface treats everything as a general case of an
//! enum, so structs/tuples/etc. have one pseudo-variant with
//! discriminant 0; i.e., as if they were a univariant enum.
//!
//! Having everything in one place will enable improvements to data
//! structure representation; possibilities include:
//!
//! - User-specified alignment (e.g., cacheline-aligning parts of
//!   concurrently accessed data structures); LLVM can't represent this
//!   directly, so we'd have to insert padding fields in any structure
//!   that might contain one and adjust GEP indices accordingly.  See
//!   issue #4578.
//!
//! - Store nested enums' discriminants in the same word.  Rather, if
//!   some variants start with enums, and those enums representations
//!   have unused alignment padding between discriminant and body, the
//!   outer enum's discriminant can be stored there and those variants
//!   can start at offset 0.  Kind of fancy, and might need work to
//!   make copies of the inner enum type cooperate, but it could help
//!   with `Option` or `Result` wrapped around another enum.
//!
//! - Tagged pointers would be neat, but given that any type can be
//!   used unboxed and any field can have pointers (including mutable)
//!   taken to it, implementing them for Rust seems difficult.
