debuginfo: Emit DW_AT_accessibility attributes
4f25e0a 
Currently, the DWARF attributes for struct member accessibility are not
emitted, even though ty::FieldDef contains the information about the
visibility. This commit adds a mapping between ty::Visibility and
debuginfo::DIFlags for that when creating member descriptions.

Closes #9228

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @oli-obk (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see the contribution instructions for more information.

I believe Michael is talking a rest (or retired from T-compiler) and would not return soon.

Should this use DW_AT_visibility instead?

DW_AT_accessibility:

Some languages, notably C++ and Ada, have the concept of the accessibility of an object or of some other program entity. The accessibility specifies which classes of other program objects are permitted access to the object in question.

DW_AT_visibility:

Several languages (such as Modula-2) have the concept of the visibility of a declaration. The visibility specifies which declarations are to be visible outside of the entity in which they are declared.

I think DW_AT_accessibility is about if a member of a class is accessible only by other members of the class, also members of subclasses or everyone. I think DW_AT_visibility on the other hand is about if something is accessible by other members of the same module, or also outside of it.

Sorry about the delay on this. Neither of these seem like an exact fit for Rust, I suppose. Since it's routine for debuggers to have to do language-specific handling for various constructs, I'd just pick one -- like, if one is simpler to do in LLVM, that's reason enough.

Also, I didn't see a reason for closing this. Was it replaced by a different PR or something? It seemed reasonable enough to me ... actually at first I'd thought it had landed and was going to look at implementing the support in gdb.

codegen_llvm: set `DW_AT_accessibility`

Fixes rust-lang#9228.
Based on rust-lang#74778.

Sets the accessibility of types and fields in DWARF using `DW_AT_accessibility` attribute.

`DW_AT_accessibility` (public/protected/private) isn't exactly right for Rust,  but neither is `DW_AT_visibility` (local/exported/qualified), and there's no way to set `DW_AT_visbility` in LLVM's API. Debuggers will special-case the handling of these per-language anyway.
