class sun::types::StaticPointerType : public sun::types::Type

Static pointer type - pointer to immortal static data (string literals, globals) Type annotation: static_ptr<T> where T is the pointee type Memory safe: never freed, always valid, read-only Represented as a fat pointer struct: { ptr data, i64 length } Can implicitly convert to raw_ptr<T> for function calls (extracts data ptr).
