Variants

Deref

Dereference projections (e.g. *_1) project to the address referenced by the base place.

Field(FieldIdx, Ty)

A field projection (e.g., f in _1.f) project to a field in the base place. The field is referenced by source-order index rather than the name of the field. The fields type is also given.

Index(Local)

Index into a slice/array. The value of the index is computed at runtime using the V argument.

Note that this does not also dereference, and so it does not exactly correspond to slice indexing in Rust. In other words, in the below Rust code:

let x = &[1, 2, 3, 4];
let i = 2;
x[i];

The x[i] is turned into a Deref followed by an Index, not just an Index. The same thing is true of the ConstantIndex and Subslice projections below.

ConstantIndex

Index into a slice/array given by offsets.

These indices are generated by slice patterns. Easiest to explain by example:

[X, _, .._, _, _] => { offset: 0, min_length: 4, from_end: false },
[_, X, .._, _, _] => { offset: 1, min_length: 4, from_end: false },
[_, _, .._, X, _] => { offset: 2, min_length: 4, from_end: true },
[_, _, .._, _, X] => { offset: 1, min_length: 4, from_end: true },

Fields

offset: u64

index or -index (in Python terms), depending on from_end

min_length: u64

The thing being indexed must be at least this long. For arrays this is always the exact length.

from_end: bool

Counting backwards from end? This is always false when indexing an array.

Subslice

Projects a slice from the base place.

These indices are generated by slice patterns. If from_end is true, this represents slice[from..slice.len() - to]. Otherwise it represents array[from..to].

Fields

from: u64

to: u64

from_end: bool

Whether to counts from the start or end of the array/slice.

Downcast(VariantIdx)

“Downcast” to a variant of an enum or a coroutine.

OpaqueCast(Ty)

Like an explicit cast from an opaque type to a concrete type, but without requiring an intermediate variable.

Subtype(Ty)

A Subtype(T) projection is applied to any StatementKind::Assign where type of lvalue doesn’t match the type of rvalue, the primary goal is making subtyping explicit during optimizations and codegen.

This projection doesn’t impact the runtime behavior of the program except for potentially changing some type metadata of the interpreter or codegen backend.

Implementations

impl ProjectionElem

pub fn ty(&self, place_ty: Ty) -> Result<Ty, Error>

Get the expected type after applying this projection to a given place type.

fn index_ty(ty: Ty) -> Result<Ty, Error>

fn subslice_ty( ty: Ty, from: &u64, to: &u64, from_end: &bool, ) -> Result<Ty, Error>

fn deref_ty(ty: Ty) -> Result<Ty, Error>

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ProjectionElem

fn clone(&self) -> ProjectionElem

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ProjectionElem

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for ProjectionElem

fn eq(&self, other: &ProjectionElem) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for ProjectionElem

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Eq for ProjectionElem

impl StructuralPartialEq for ProjectionElem

Layout

Note: Most layout information is completely unstable and may even differ between compilations. The only exception is types with certain repr(...) attributes. Please see the Rust Reference's “Type Layout” chapter for details on type layout guarantees.
