1903944 - Tweak the PrintingPolicy for field types

Status: NEW

(Webtools :: Searchfox, enhancement)

Description

clang's pretty print allows controlling the details.
We can for example omit the struct prefix,
and also use bool instead of _Bool.

Neat! Note that the pointer_info parser does currently depend on struct being there, etc. so we currently have diverging use-cases there between what a human would want to see and what the pointer_info processing currently[1] wants to see.

1: It would still be good to move the pointer_info processing to a structured representation of the types anyways rather than the hacky parsing.

okay, if there's conflicting requirements, at least this shouldn't block bug 1902875.
