This means we need to keep track of the kinds (general/int/float) of variables
in `Canonical`, which requires some more ceremony. (It also exposes some places
where we're not really dealing with canonicalization correctly -- another thing
to be cleaned up when we switch to using Chalk's types directly.)
Should fix the last remaining issue of #2534.
'Unknown' int/float types actually never exist as such, they get replaced by
type variables immediately. So the whole `Uncertain<IntTy>` thing was
unnecessary and just led to a bunch of match branches that were never hit.
This is working, but I'm not that happy with how the lowering works. We might
need an additional representation between `TypeRef` and `Ty` where names are
resolved and `impl Trait` bounds are separated out, but things like inference
variables don't exist and `impl Trait` is always represented the same
way.
Also note that this doesn't implement correct handling of RPIT *inside* the
function (which involves turning the `impl Trait`s into variables and creating
obligations for them). That intermediate representation might help there as
well.
E.g. in
```rust
match x {
1 => function1,
2 => function2,
}
```
we need to try coercing both to pointers. Turns out this is a special case in
rustc as well (see the link in the comment).
Divergence here means that for some reason, the end of a block will not be
reached. We tried to model this just using the never type, but that doesn't work
fully (e.g. in `let x = { loop {}; "foo" };` x should still have type `&str`);
so this introduces a `diverges` flag that the type checker keeps track of, like
rustc does.
So e.g. if we have `fn foo<T: SomeTrait<u32>>() -> T::Item`, we want to lower
that to `<T as SomeTrait<u32>>::Item` and not `<T as SomeTrait<_>>::Item`.
We need to shift in when we're substituting inside a binder.
This should fix#4053 (it doesn't fix the occasional overflow that also occurs
on the Diesel codebase though).
Basically, if we had something like `dyn Trait<T>` (where `T` is a type
parameter) in an impl we lowered that to `dyn Trait<^0.0>`, when it should be
`dyn Trait<^1.0>` because the `dyn` introduces a new binder. With one type
parameter, that's just wrong, with two, it'll lead to crashes.
The big change here is counting binders, not
variables (https://github.com/rust-lang/chalk/pull/360). We have to adapt to the
same scheme for our `Ty::Bound`. It's mostly fine though, even makes some things
more clear.
It improves compile time in `--release` mode quite a bit, it doesn't
really slow things down and, conceptually, it seems closer to what we
want the physical architecture to look like (we don't want to
monomorphise EVERYTHING in a single leaf crate).
Basically, we need to allow variables in the caller self type to unify with the
impl's declared self type. That requires some more contortions in the variable
handling. I'm looking forward to (hopefully) handling this in a cleaner way when
we switch to Chalk's types and unification code.
