1//! # Minimal Specialization
2//!
3//! This module contains the checks for sound specialization used when the
4//! `min_specialization` feature is enabled. This requires that the impl is
5//! *always applicable*.
6//!
7//! If `impl1` specializes `impl2` then `impl1` is always applicable if we know
8//! that all the bounds of `impl2` are satisfied, and all of the bounds of
9//! `impl1` are satisfied for some choice of lifetimes then we know that
10//! `impl1` applies for any choice of lifetimes.
11//!
12//! ## Basic approach
13//!
14//! To enforce this requirement on specializations we take the following
15//! approach:
16//!
17//! 1. Match up the args for `impl2` so that the implemented trait and
18//!    self-type match those for `impl1`.
19//! 2. Check for any direct use of `'static` in the args of `impl2`.
20//! 3. Check that all of the generic parameters of `impl1` occur at most once
21//!    in the *unconstrained* args for `impl2`. A parameter is constrained if
22//!    its value is completely determined by an associated type projection
23//!    predicate.
24//! 4. Check that all predicates on `impl1` either exist on `impl2` (after
25//!    matching args), or are well-formed predicates for the trait's type
26//!    arguments.
27//!
28//! ## Example
29//!
30//! Suppose we have the following always applicable impl:
31//!
32//! ```ignore (illustrative)
33//! impl<T> SpecExtend<T> for std::vec::IntoIter<T> { /* specialized impl */ }
34//! impl<T, I: Iterator<Item=T>> SpecExtend<T> for I { /* default impl */ }
35//! ```
36//!
37//! We get that the generic parameters for `impl2` are `[T, std::vec::IntoIter<T>]`.
38//! `T` is constrained to be `<I as Iterator>::Item`, so we check only
39//! `std::vec::IntoIter<T>` for repeated parameters, which it doesn't have. The
40//! predicates of `impl1` are only `T: Sized`, which is also a predicate of
41//! `impl2`. So this specialization is sound.
42//!
43//! ## Extensions
44//!
45//! Unfortunately not all specializations in the standard library are allowed
46//! by this. So there are two extensions to these rules that allow specializing
47//! on some traits: that is, using them as bounds on the specializing impl,
48//! even when they don't occur in the base impl.
49//!
50//! ### rustc_specialization_trait
51//!
52//! If a trait is always applicable, then it's sound to specialize on it. We
53//! check trait is always applicable in the same way as impls, except that step
54//! 4 is now "all predicates on `impl1` are always applicable". We require that
55//! `specialization` or `min_specialization` is enabled to implement these
56//! traits.
57//!
58//! ### rustc_unsafe_specialization_marker
59//!
60//! There are also some specialization on traits with no methods, including the
61//! stable `FusedIterator` trait. We allow marking marker traits with an
62//! unstable attribute that means we ignore them in point 3 of the checks
63//! above. This is unsound, in the sense that the specialized impl may be used
64//! when it doesn't apply, but we allow it in the short term since it can't
65//! cause use after frees with purely safe code in the same way as specializing
66//! on traits with methods can.
