C++ empty class by-value arguments are passed even though clang omits them

[lwz23]

Input C/C++ Header

struct E {};
int take(E e, int x);

int take(E e, int x) { (void)e; return x + 1; }

Bindgen Invocation

$ bindgen input.h --enable-cxx-namespaces --output bindings.rs -- -x c++ -std=c++20

Layout tests are left on (the default).

Actual Results

sizeof(E) is 1 in both clang++ and the generated Rust, so the layout tests compile.

clang++ does not pass the empty class at all:

define i32 @_Z4take1Ei(i32 noundef %0)
; caller:
call i32 @_Z4take1Ei(i32 noundef 10)

bindgen still emits a 1-byte argument:

pub struct E { pub _address: u8 }
pub fn take(e: root::E, x: c_int) -> c_int;

rustc therefore calls with two arguments:

declare i32 @"\01__Z4take1Ei"(i64, i32)
call i32 @"\01__Z4take1Ei"(i64 %1, i32 10)

Runtime, take(E{}, 10):

C++:  11
Rust: 1

bindgen does not panic. rustc accepts the bindings, including the layout tests.

Expected Results

The generated signature should match the C++ ABI used by clang: the empty class parameter is not passed, so take is effectively fn(c_int) -> c_int (or whatever equivalent rustc will lower the same way). Passing a dummy E by value makes rustc pass an extra integer and shifts the real arguments.
