Returns true if this instance is instantiable - whether it has no unsatisfied
predicates.
In order to codegen an item, all of its predicates must hold, because otherwise the item does not make sense. Type-checking ensures that the predicates of every item that is used by a valid item do hold, so we can rely on that.
However, we codegen collector roots (reachable items) and functions in vtables when they are seen, even if they are not used, and so they might not be instantiable. For example, a programmer can define this public function:
pub fn foo<'a>(s: &'a mut ()) where &'a mut (): Clone { <&mut () as Clone>::clone(&s); }
That function can’t be codegened, because the method <&mut () as Clone>::clone
does not exist. Luckily for us, that function can’t ever be used,
because that would require for &'a mut (): Clone to hold, so we
can just not emit any code, or even a linker reference for it.
Similarly, if a vtable method has such a signature, and therefore can’t be used, we can just not emit it and have a placeholder (a null pointer, which will never be accessed) in its place.
