This allows us to do a bit more at compile time in some cases; e.g., we can more reliably collapse things like
t == halide_type_t(int, 8)
intot.as_u32() == literal-integer
, avoiding temporaries.It also makes it tractable to to do a
switch
on a series ofhalide_type_t
, since we can now use halide_type_t::as_u32() as a constexpr. There were a number of places that did this in an ad-hoc manner previously; I updated those, and also converted at least one more repeated-if clause into a switch. (TBH, I'm not sure if I'm wild about the syntax, though; it is a bit weedy to scan. Suggestions welcome.)
