For MiniRust we need to convert MIR constant values into MiniRust constant values. However, it's not currently possible to get nice high-level access to the inerts of a
ConstValue
: we can access the raw contents (the allocation /ScalarInt
), but if it is e.g. of enum type and we want to determine which variant is encoded, we are stuck. There's onlytry_destructure_mir_constant_for_user_output
which is meant for diagnostics, so it doesn't fit.The interpreter has all the APIs to traverse such a value, so we just need a way to get such a ConstValue into an interpreter instance. This adds the public functions necessary to make that happen.
