Auto merge of rust-lang#113175 - bryangarza:safe-transmute-rustc-coinductive, r=compiler-errors
Enable coinduction support for Safe Transmute
This patch adds the `#[rustc_coinductive]` annotation to `BikeshedIntrinsicFrom`, so that it's possible to compute transmutability for recursive types.
## Motivation
Safe Transmute currently already supports references (rust-lang#110662). However, if a type is implemented recursively, it leads to an infinite loop when we try to check if transmutation is safe.
A couple simple examples that one might want to write, that are currently not possible to check transmutability for:
```rs
#[repr(C)] struct A(&'static B);
#[repr(C)] struct B(&'static A);
```
```rs
#[repr(C)]
enum IList<'a> { Nil, Cons(isize, &'a IList<'a>) }
#[repr(C)]
enum UList<'a> { Nil, Cons(usize, &'a UList<'a>) }
```
Previously, `@jswrenn` was considering writing a co-inductive solver from scratch, just for the `rustc_tranmsute` crate. Later on as I started working on Safe Transmute myself, I came across the `#[rustc_coinductive]` annotation, which is currently only being used for the `Sized` trait. Leveraging this trait actually solved the problem entirely, and it saves a lot of duplicate work that would have had to happen in `rustc_transmute`.File tree
