places_conflict.rs

//! The borrowck rules for proving disjointness are applied from the "root" of the
//! borrow forwards, iterating over "similar" projections in lockstep until
//! we can prove overlap one way or another. Essentially, we treat `Overlap` as
//! a monoid and report a conflict if the product ends up not being `Disjoint`.
//!
//! On each step, if we didn't run out of borrow or place, we know that our elements
//! have the same type, and that they only overlap if they are the identical.
//!
//! For example, if we are comparing these:
//! ```text
//! BORROW:  (*x1[2].y).z.a
//! ACCESS:  (*x1[i].y).w.b
//! ```
//!
//! Then our steps are:
//! ```text
//!       x1         |   x1          -- places are the same
//!       x1[2]      |   x1[i]       -- equal or disjoint (disjoint if indexes differ)
//!       x1[2].y    |   x1[i].y     -- equal or disjoint
//!      *x1[2].y    |  *x1[i].y     -- equal or disjoint
//!     (*x1[2].y).z | (*x1[i].y).w  -- we are disjoint and don't need to check more!
//! ```
//!
//! Because `zip` does potentially bad things to the iterator inside, this loop
//! also handles the case where the access might be a *prefix* of the borrow, e.g.
//!
//! ```text
//! BORROW:  (*x1[2].y).z.a
//! ACCESS:  x1[i].y
//! ```
//!
//! Then our steps are:
//! ```text
//!       x1         |   x1          -- places are the same
//!       x1[2]      |   x1[i]       -- equal or disjoint (disjoint if indexes differ)
//!       x1[2].y    |   x1[i].y     -- equal or disjoint
//! ```
//!
//! -- here we run out of access - the borrow can access a part of it. If this
//! is a full deep access, then we *know* the borrow conflicts with it. However,
//! if the access is shallow, then we can proceed:
//!
//! ```text
//!       x1[2].y    | (*x1[i].y)    -- a deref! the access can't get past this, so we
//!                                     are disjoint
//! ```
//!
//! Our invariant is, that at each step of the iteration:
//!  - If we didn't run out of access to match, our borrow and access are comparable
//!    and either equal or disjoint.
//!  - If we did run out of access, the borrow can access a part of it.
