Detailed Description

A "deferred struct type" is a struct type with one or more member types not known when the Deserializer first encounters the struct.

This happens, for example, with recursive structs where a pointer to the struct type is forward declared through OpTypeForwardPointer in the SPIR-V module before the struct declaration; the actual pointer to struct type should be defined later through an OpTypePointer. For example, the following C struct:

struct A { A* next; };

would be represented in the SPIR-V module as:

OpName A "A" OpTypeForwardPointer APtr Generic A = OpTypeStruct APtr APtr = OpTypePointer Generic A

This means that the spirv::StructType cannot be fully constructed directly when the Deserializer encounters it. Instead we create a DeferredStructTypeInfo that contains all the information we know about the spirv::StructType. Once all forward references for the struct are resolved, the struct's body is set with all member info.
