[Guillaume Gomez via Sourceware Forge]

This is a summary of discussions relative to the merge request created by Guillaume Gomez (imperio) <contact@guillaume-gomez.fr> titled
Add new libgccjit `gcc_jit_rvalue_set_type` API
since its creation.

Description: We use this new API the Rust GCC backend. It was done a while ago in our GCC fork and I forgot to upstream it for a while.

Take a look at the test to see how this API is used.

I don't understand the motivation for this feature.  Can you give more info, or point me at the use-case you ran into for this?

Looking at the checklist in https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/jit/internals/index.html#submitting-patches it's missing documentation (which is another reason why I don't understand it - sorry!)

We found a way to not need this feature anymore. So closing as not needed.
