...locking-servo
simplify_type
was bogus, as there was no way for it to handle enumsproperly. It was also slow, because it created many Rust types at runtime. In
general creating Rust types during trans is a source of slowness, and I'd like
to avoid doing it as much as possible. (It is probably not possible to
eliminate it entirely, due to
subst
, but we should get rid of as much of itas we can.) So this patch replaces
simplify_type
withsizing_type_of
,which creates a size-equivalent LLVM type directly without going through a
Rust type first.
Because this is causing an ICE in Servo, I'm rubber stamping it.
