rustc_next_trait_solver/solve/
mod.rs

1//! The next-generation trait solver, currently still WIP.
2//!
3//! As a user of rust, you can use `-Znext-solver` to enable the new trait solver.
4//!
5//! As a developer of rustc, you shouldn't be using the new trait
6//! solver without asking the trait-system-refactor-initiative, but it can
7//! be enabled with `InferCtxtBuilder::with_next_trait_solver`. This will
8//! ensure that trait solving using that inference context will be routed
9//! to the new trait solver.
10//!
11//! For a high-level overview of how this solver works, check out the relevant
12//! section of the rustc-dev-guide.

35///
36/// We previously used  `cx.recursion_limit().0.checked_ilog2().unwrap_or(0)` for this.
37/// However, it feels unlikely that uncreasing the recursion limit by a power of two
38/// to get one more itereation is every useful or desirable. We now instead used a constant
39/// here. If there ever ends up some use-cases where a bigger number of fixpoint iterations
40/// is required, we can add a new attribute for that or revert this to be dependant on the
41/// recursion limit again. However, this feels very unlikely.
