Rust passes a *const &OperandBundleDef to these APIs, usually from a Vec<&OperandBundleDef> or so. Previously we were dereferencing that pointer and passing it to the ArrayRef constructor with some length (N). This meant that if the length was 0, we were dereferencing a pointer to nowhere, and if the length was >1 then loading the *second* element somewhere in LLVM would've been reading past the end. Since Rust can't hold OperandBundleDef by-value we're forced to indirect through a vector that copies out the OperandBundleDefs from the by-reference list on the Rust side in order to match the LLVM expected API.
This directory currently contains some LLVM support code. This will generally be sent upstream to LLVM in time; for now it lives here. NOTE: the LLVM C++ ABI is subject to between-version breakage and must *never* be exposed to Rust. To allow for easy auditing of that, all Rust-exposed types must be typedef-ed as "LLVMXyz", or "LLVMRustXyz" if they were defined here. Functions that return a failure status and leave the error in the LLVM last error should return an LLVMRustResult rather than an int or anything to avoid confusion. When translating enums, add a single `Other` variant as the first one to allow for new variants to be added. It should abort when used as an input. All other types must not be typedef-ed as such.
