Rename `align` to `default_align` on `Scalar` and `Primitive` To emphasize that just because you see a `Scalar(I32)` that doesn't really tell you anything about the alignment it has -- one should be looking at the type (well, the place) for that. (The `size` method doesn't really have that problem -- i32 is always 4 bytes, no matter the context -- so is left untouched.) No actual layout or behaviour changes in *this* PR. Just the rename and some comments. r? @workingjubilee
The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR,
and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code
that runs towards the end of the compilation process.
For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
