-/// NOTE: We currently emit just emit the debuginfo for the element type here
-/// (i.e. `T` for slices and `u8` for `str`), so that we end up with
-/// `*const T` for the `data_ptr` field of the corresponding wide-pointer
-/// debuginfo of `&[T]`.
-///
-/// It would be preferable and more accurate if we emitted a DIArray of T
-/// without an upper bound instead. That is, LLVM already supports emitting
-/// debuginfo of arrays of unknown size. But GDB currently seems to end up
-/// in an infinite loop when confronted with such a type.
-///
-/// As a side effect of the current encoding every instance of a type like
-/// `struct Foo { unsized_field: [u8] }` will look like
-/// `struct Foo { unsized_field: u8 }` in debuginfo. If the length of the
-/// slice is zero, then accessing `unsized_field` in the debugger would
-/// result in an out-of-bounds access.
