This can be used to allow automatically handling structures that require
special behavior for one member but are automatically repackable otherwise.
The feature is enabled using the new custom_repack annotation and requires
additional repacking functions to be defined in the host file for each
customized member.
Pointer types inherently cause data layout compatibility issues, so they're
worth special-casing here. The wrappers will type-pun pointers to 32-bit or
64-bit integers (matching the guest architecture) to avoid direct host-side
use of guest pointers without consideration.
These annotations allow for a given type or parameter to be treated as
"compatible" even if data layout analysis can't infer this automatically.
assume_compatible_data_layout is more powerful than is_opaque, since it
allows for structs containing members of a certain type to be automatically
inferred as "compatible".
Conversely however, is_opaque enforces that the underlying data is never
accessed directly, since non-pointer uses of the type would still be
detected as "incompatible".
Previously, two functions with the same signature would always be wrapped
in the same logic. This change allows customizing one function with
annotations while leaving the other one unchanged.
This runs the data layout analysis pass added in the previous change twice:
Once for the host architecture and once for the guest architecture. This
allows the new DataLayoutCompareAction to query architecture differences for
each type, which can then be used to instruct code generation accordingly.
Currently, type compatibility is classified into 3 categories:
* Fully compatible (same size/alignment for the type itself and any members)
* Repackable (incompatibility can be resolved with emission of automatable
repacking code, e.g. when struct members are located at differing offsets
due to padding bytes)
* Incompatible
