1//! Logic and data structures related to impl specialization, explained in
2//! greater detail below.
3//!
4//! At the moment, this implementation support only the simple "chain" rule:
5//! If any two impls overlap, one must be a strict subset of the other.
6//!
7//! See the [rustc dev guide] for a bit more detail on how specialization
8//! fits together with the rest of the trait machinery.

49/// Given the generic parameters for the requested impl, translate it to the generic parameters
50/// appropriate for the actual item definition (whether it be in that impl,
51/// a parent impl, or the trait).
52///
53/// When we have selected one impl, but are actually using item definitions from
54/// a parent impl providing a default, we need a way to translate between the
55/// type parameters of the two impls. Here the `source_impl` is the one we've
56/// selected, and `source_args` is its generic parameters.
57/// And `target_node` is the impl/trait we're actually going to get the
58/// definition from. The resulting instantiation will map from `target_node`'s
59/// generics to `source_impl`'s generics as instantiated by `source_args`.
60///
61/// For example, consider the following scenario:
62///
63/// ```ignore (illustrative)
64/// trait Foo { ... }
65/// impl<T, U> Foo for (T, U) { ... }  // target impl
66/// impl<V> Foo for (V, V) { ... }     // source impl
67/// ```
68///
69/// Suppose we have selected "source impl" with `V` instantiated with `u32`.
70/// This function will produce an instantiation with `T` and `U` both mapping to `u32`.
71///
72/// where-clauses add some trickiness here, because they can be used to "define"
73/// an argument indirectly:
74///
75/// ```ignore (illustrative)
76/// impl<'a, I, T: 'a> Iterator for Cloned<I>
77///    where I: Iterator<Item = &'a T>, T: Clone
78/// ```
79///
80/// In a case like this, the instantiation for `T` is determined indirectly,
81/// through associated type projection. We deal with such cases by using
82/// *fulfillment* to relate the two impls, requiring that all projections are
83/// resolved.
