closure field capturing: don't depend on alignment of packed fields
This fixes the closure field capture part of rust-lang#115305: field capturing always stops at projections into packed structs, no matter the alignment of the field. This means changing a private field type from `u8` to `u64` can never change how closures capture fields, which is probably what we want.
Here's an example where, before this PR, changing the type of a private field in a repr(Rust) struct can change the output of a program:
```rust
#![allow(dead_code)]
mod m {
// before patch
#[derive(Default)]
pub struct S1(u8);
// after patch
#[derive(Default)]
pub struct S2(u64);
}
struct NoisyDrop;
impl Drop for NoisyDrop {
fn drop(&mut self) {
eprintln!("dropped!");
}
}
#[repr(packed)]
struct MyType {
field: m::S1, // output changes when this becomes S2
other_field: NoisyDrop,
third_field: Vec<()>,
}
fn test(r: MyType) {
let c = || {
let _val = std::ptr::addr_of!(r.field);
let _val = r.third_field;
};
drop(c);
eprintln!("before dropping");
}
fn main() {
test(MyType {
field: Default::default(),
other_field: NoisyDrop,
third_field: Vec::new(),
});
}
```
Of course this is a breaking change for the same reason that doing field capturing in the first place was a breaking change. Packed fields are relatively rare and depending on drop order is relatively rare, so I don't expect this to have much impact, but it's hard to be sure and even a crater run will only tell us so much.
