This PR fixes the Rust-to-Heapster type translation to handle sum types where one side of the sum is an uninhabited type, which Rust lays out as just the other branch of the sum without the tag. So, for example, the Rust type
Result<Infallible,X>
is just represented asX
, whereInfallible
is an empty type with no constructors.
