rustc_infer/infer/outlives/
obligations.rs

1//! Code that handles "type-outlives" constraints like `T: 'a`. This
2//! is based on the `push_outlives_components` function defined in rustc_infer,
3//! but it adds a bit of heuristics on top, in particular to deal with
4//! associated types and projections.
5//!
6//! When we process a given `T: 'a` obligation, we may produce two
7//! kinds of constraints for the region inferencer:
8//!
9//! - Relationships between inference variables and other regions.
10//!   For example, if we have `&'?0 u32: 'a`, then we would produce
11//!   a constraint that `'a <= '?0`.
12//! - "Verifys" that must be checked after inferencing is done.
13//!   For example, if we know that, for some type parameter `T`,
14//!   `T: 'a + 'b`, and we have a requirement that `T: '?1`,
15//!   then we add a "verify" that checks that `'?1 <= 'a || '?1 <= 'b`.
16//!   - Note the difference with the previous case: here, the region
17//!     variable must be less than something else, so this doesn't
18//!     affect how inference works (it finds the smallest region that
19//!     will do); it's just a post-condition that we have to check.
20//!
21//! **The key point is that once this function is done, we have
22//! reduced all of our "type-region outlives" obligations into relationships
23//! between individual regions.**
24//!
25//! One key input to this function is the set of "region-bound pairs".
26//! These are basically the relationships between type parameters and
27//! regions that are in scope at the point where the outlives
28//! obligation was incurred. **When type-checking a function,
29//! particularly in the face of closures, this is not known until
30//! regionck runs!** This is because some of those bounds come
31//! from things we have yet to infer.
32//!
33//! Consider:
34//!
35//! ```
36//! fn bar<T>(a: T, b: impl for<'a> Fn(&'a T)) {}
37//! fn foo<T>(x: T) {
38//!     bar(x, |y| { /* ... */})
39//!     //      ^ closure arg
40//! }
41//! ```
42//!
43//! Here, the type of `y` may involve inference variables and the
44//! like, and it may also contain implied bounds that are needed to
45//! type-check the closure body (e.g., here it informs us that `T`
46//! outlives the late-bound region `'a`).
47//!
48//! Note that by delaying the gathering of implied bounds until all
49//! inference information is known, we may find relationships between
50//! bound regions and other regions in the environment. For example,
51//! when we first check a closure like the one expected as argument
52//! to `foo`:
53//!
54//! ```
55//! fn foo<U, F: for<'a> FnMut(&'a U)>(_f: F) {}
56//! ```
57//!
58//! the type of the closure's first argument would be `&'a ?U`. We
59//! might later infer `?U` to something like `&'b u32`, which would
60//! imply that `'b: 'a`.
