Most of the failures appear to be "strings imported but never used"... |

Feature request by #25826
This PR aims to decouple the
auto_str()function from individual backend generators and move it to the frontend. This way, each backend can remove its ownauto_str()implementation.The general approach is to introduce a new phase,
gen_auto_fn()in thebuilder—after thecheckerand before code generation. This phase leverages the results from thecheckerandmarkusedto identify which types require theauto_str()function. It then manually creates these virtual functions, processes them usingparser.parse_text(), and performs checks viacheck(). The output is subsequently passed to the respective backends for code generation.Currently, only the generation of
auto_str()for structs is supported. Future extensions may include support for otherstr()functions, with the ultimate goal of fully migrating this functionality to the frontend.
