I originally envisioned types as dumb descriptors. This mostly works for C because in C, types are fairly simple. However, even then the drgn_program_member_info() API is awkward. You should be able to look up a member directly from a type, but we need the program for caching purposes. This has also held me back from adding offsetof() or has_member() APIs. Things get even messier with C++. C++ template parameters can be objects (e.g., template <int N>). Such parameters would best be represented by a drgn object, which we need a drgn program for. Static members are a similar case. So, let's reimagine types as being owned by a program. This has a few parts: 1. In libdrgn, simple types are now created by factory functions, drgn_foo_type_create(). 2. To handle their variable length fields, compound types, enum types, and function types are constructed with a "builder" API. 3. Simple types are deduplicated. 4. The Python type factory functions are replaced by methods of the Program class. 5. While we're changing the API, the parameters to pointer_type() and array_type() are reordered to be more logical (and to allow pointer_type() to take a default size of None for the program's default pointer size). 6. Likewise, the type factory methods take qualifiers as a keyword argument only. A big part of this change is updating the tests and splitting up large test cases into smaller ones in a few places.
