//! ## The Datum module
//!
//! A `Datum` encapsulates the result of evaluating a Rust expression.  It
//! contains a `ValueRef` indicating the result, a `Ty` describing
//! the Rust type, but also a *kind*. The kind indicates whether the datum
//! has cleanup scheduled (lvalue) or not (rvalue) and -- in the case of
//! rvalues -- whether or not the value is "by ref" or "by value".
//!
//! The datum API is designed to try and help you avoid memory errors like
//! forgetting to arrange cleanup or duplicating a value. The type of the
//! datum incorporates the kind, and thus reflects whether it has cleanup
//! scheduled:
//!
//! - `Datum<Lvalue>` -- by ref, cleanup scheduled
//! - `Datum<Rvalue>` -- by value or by ref, no cleanup scheduled
//! - `Datum<Expr>` -- either `Datum<Lvalue>` or `Datum<Rvalue>`
//!
//! Rvalue and expr datums are noncopyable, and most of the methods on
//! datums consume the datum itself (with some notable exceptions). This
//! reflects the fact that datums may represent affine values which ought
//! to be consumed exactly once, and if you were to try to (for example)
//! store an affine value multiple times, you would be duplicating it,
//! which would certainly be a bug.
//!
//! Some of the datum methods, however, are designed to work only on
//! copyable values such as ints or pointers. Those methods may borrow the
//! datum (`&self`) rather than consume it, but they always include
//! assertions on the type of the value represented to check that this
//! makes sense. An example is `shallow_copy()`, which duplicates
//! a datum value.
//!
//! Translating an expression always yields a `Datum<Expr>` result, but
//! the methods `to_[lr]value_datum()` can be used to coerce a
//! `Datum<Expr>` into a `Datum<Lvalue>` or `Datum<Rvalue>` as
//! needed. Coercing to an lvalue is fairly common, and generally occurs
//! whenever it is necessary to inspect a value and pull out its
//! subcomponents (for example, a match, or indexing expression). Coercing
//! to an rvalue is more unusual; it occurs when moving values from place
//! to place, such as in an assignment expression or parameter passing.
//!
//! ### Lvalues in detail
//!
//! An lvalue datum is one for which cleanup has been scheduled. Lvalue
//! datums are always located in memory, and thus the `ValueRef` for an
//! LLVM value is always a pointer to the actual Rust value. This means
//! that if the Datum has a Rust type of `int`, then the LLVM type of the
//! `ValueRef` will be `int*` (pointer to int).
//!
//! Because lvalues already have cleanups scheduled, the memory must be
//! zeroed to prevent the cleanup from taking place (presuming that the
//! Rust type needs drop in the first place, otherwise it doesn't
//! matter). The Datum code automatically performs this zeroing when the
//! value is stored to a new location, for example.
//!
//! Lvalues usually result from evaluating lvalue expressions. For
//! example, evaluating a local variable `x` yields an lvalue, as does a
//! reference to a field like `x.f` or an index `x[i]`.
//!
//! Lvalue datums can also arise by *converting* an rvalue into an lvalue.
//! This is done with the `to_lvalue_datum` method defined on
//! `Datum<Expr>`. Basically this method just schedules cleanup if the
//! datum is an rvalue, possibly storing the value into a stack slot first
//! if needed. Converting rvalues into lvalues occurs in constructs like
//! `&foo()` or `match foo() { ref x => ... }`, where the user is
//! implicitly requesting a temporary.
//!
//! ### Rvalues in detail
//!
//! Rvalues datums are values with no cleanup scheduled. One must be
//! careful with rvalue datums to ensure that cleanup is properly
//! arranged, usually by converting to an lvalue datum or by invoking the
//! `add_clean` method.
//!
//! ### Scratch datums
//!
//! Sometimes you need some temporary scratch space.  The functions
//! `[lr]value_scratch_datum()` can be used to get temporary stack
//! space. As their name suggests, they yield lvalues and rvalues
//! respectively. That is, the slot from `lvalue_scratch_datum` will have
//! cleanup arranged, and the slot from `rvalue_scratch_datum` does not.
