I'd like this to note that

  • using AnyPtr is over-conservative here, and we could make this summarize the members as per the C compatibility rule in the future and
  • this also covers anonymous structs and unions, which have a different compatibility rule, but it doesn't matter because you can never have a pointer to an anonymous struct or union.

Thanks, added the clarifications as suggested!

// For non-builtin types use the mangled name of the canonical type.
