//! Discover which template type parameters are actually used.
//!
//! ### Why do we care?
//!
//! C++ allows ignoring template parameters, while Rust does not. Usually we can
//! blindly stick a `PhantomData<T>` inside a generic Rust struct to make up for
//! this. That doesn't work for templated type aliases, however:
//!
//! ```C++
//! template <typename T>
//! using Fml = int;
//! ```
//!
//! If we generate the naive Rust code for this alias, we get:
//!
//! ```ignore
//! pub(crate) type Fml<T> = ::std::os::raw::int;
//! ```
//!
//! And this is rejected by `rustc` due to the unused type parameter.
//!
//! (Aside: in these simple cases, `libclang` will often just give us the
//! aliased type directly, and we will never even know we were dealing with
//! aliases, let alone templated aliases. It's the more convoluted scenarios
//! where we get to have some fun...)
//!
//! For such problematic template aliases, we could generate a tuple whose
//! second member is a `PhantomData<T>`. Or, if we wanted to go the extra mile,
//! we could even generate some smarter wrapper that implements `Deref`,
//! `DerefMut`, `From`, `Into`, `AsRef`, and `AsMut` to the actually aliased
//! type. However, this is still lackluster:
//!
//! 1. Even with a billion conversion-trait implementations, using the generated
//!    bindings is rather un-ergonomic.
//! 2. With either of these solutions, we need to keep track of which aliases
//!    we've transformed like this in order to generate correct uses of the
//!    wrapped type.
//!
//! Given that we have to properly track which template parameters ended up used
//! for (2), we might as well leverage that information to make ergonomic
//! bindings that don't contain any unused type parameters at all, and
//! completely avoid the pain of (1).
//!
//! ### How do we determine which template parameters are used?
//!
//! Determining which template parameters are actually used is a trickier
//! problem than it might seem at a glance. On the one hand, trivial uses are
//! easy to detect:
//!
//! ```C++
//! template <typename T>
//! class Foo {
//!     T trivial_use_of_t;
//! };
//! ```
//!
//! It gets harder when determining if one template parameter is used depends on
//! determining if another template parameter is used. In this example, whether
//! `U` is used depends on whether `T` is used.
//!
//! ```C++
//! template <typename T>
//! class DoesntUseT {
//!     int x;
//! };
//!
//! template <typename U>
//! class Fml {
//!     DoesntUseT<U> lololol;
//! };
//! ```
//!
//! We can express the set of used template parameters as a constraint solving
//! problem (where the set of template parameters used by a given IR item is the
//! union of its sub-item's used template parameters) and iterate to a
//! fixed-point.
//!
//! We use the `ir::analysis::MonotoneFramework` infrastructure for this
//! fix-point analysis, where our lattice is the mapping from each IR item to
//! the powerset of the template parameters that appear in the input C++ header,
//! our join function is set union. The set of template parameters appearing in
//! the program is finite, as is the number of IR items. We start at our
//! lattice's bottom element: every item mapping to an empty set of template
//! parameters. Our analysis only adds members to each item's set of used
//! template parameters, never removes them, so it is monotone. Because our
//! lattice is finite and our constraint function is monotone, iteration to a
//! fix-point will terminate.
//!
//! See `src/ir/analysis.rs` for more.

///
/// * If `T` is a named template type parameter, it trivially uses itself:
///
/// ```ignore
/// template_param_usage(T) = { T }
/// ```
///
/// * If `inst` is a template instantiation, `inst.args` are the template
///   instantiation's template arguments, `inst.def` is the template definition
///   being instantiated, and `inst.def.params` is the template definition's
///   template parameters, then the instantiation's usage is the union of each
///   of its arguments' usages *if* the corresponding template parameter is in
///   turn used by the template definition:
///
/// ```ignore
/// template_param_usage(inst) = union(
///     template_param_usage(inst.args[i])
///         for i in 0..length(inst.args.length)
///             if inst.def.params[i] in template_param_usage(inst.def)
/// )

/// * Finally, for all other IR item kinds, we use our lattice's `join`
/// operation: set union with each successor of the given item's template
/// parameter usage:
///
/// ```ignore
/// template_param_usage(v) =
///     union(template_param_usage(w) for w in successors(v))
