The run_thunkgen* helpers now parse generated source code and return its AST
representation, so HasASTMatching helper calls don't each need to redundantly
compile it themselves. This also ensures the generator output actually compiles
in tests where we didn't explicitly check that before.
This also allows printing the full AST of the generator output on test
failures. This must be enabled manually by changing a variable in the ostream
output operator for SourceWithAST.
Function pointer arguments given to the guest thunk library aren't
callable on the host, so they need special handling on a case-by-case
basis. Similar problems arise when the guest-side tries to consume a
pointer returned from a native host library. To automate some common
scenarios, this change adds two new annotations:
"callback_guest" indicates the callback parameter is never called on the
host and hence can be marshalled like any other argument. Accidental host
calls to the function pointer are prevented by wrapping it in an opaque
type alias.
"returns_guest_pointer" indicates that the host function returns a pointer
usable in the guest context. This applies e.g. to functions that derive
the returned pointer from input guest pointer arguments.
Some applications set callbacks that never get called in practice (such as
error handlers). It's sensible to just not implement these instead of
cluttering the code with effectively unused callback wrappers.
