//! Freshening is the process of replacing unknown variables with fresh types. The idea is that //! the type, after freshening, contains no inference variables but instead contains either a //! value for each variable or fresh "arbitrary" types wherever a variable would have been. //! //! Freshening is used primarily to get a good type for inserting into a cache. The result //! summarizes what the type inferencer knows "so far". The primary place it is used right now is //! in the trait matching algorithm, which needs to be able to cache whether an `impl` self type //! matches some other type X -- *without* affecting `X`. That means if that if the type `X` is in //! fact an unbound type variable, we want the match to be regarded as ambiguous, because depending //! on what type that type variable is ultimately assigned, the match may or may not succeed. //! //! To handle closures, freshened types also have to contain the signature and kind of any //! closure in the local inference context, as otherwise the cache key might be invalidated. //! The way this is done is somewhat hacky - the closure signature is appended to the substs, //! as well as the closure kind "encoded" as a type. Also, special handling is needed when //! the closure signature contains a reference to the original closure. //! //! Note that you should be careful not to allow the output of freshening to leak to the user in //! error messages or in any other form. Freshening is only really useful as an internal detail. //! //! Because of the manipulation required to handle closures, doing arbitrary operations on //! freshened types is not recommended. However, in addition to doing equality/hash //! comparisons (for caching), it is possible to do a `ty::_match` operation between //! 2 freshened types - this works even with the closure encoding. //! //! __An important detail concerning regions.__ The freshener also replaces *all* free regions with //! 'erased. The reason behind this is that, in general, we do not take region relationships into //! account when making type-overloaded decisions. This is important because of the design of the //! region inferencer, which is not based on unification but rather on accumulating and then //! solving a set of constraints. In contrast, the type inferencer assigns a value to each type //! variable only once, and it does so as soon as it can, so it is reasonable to ask what the type //! inferencer knows "so far". use super::InferCtxt; use rustc_data_structures::fx::FxHashMap; use rustc_middle::infer::unify_key::ToType; use rustc_middle::ty::fold::TypeFolder; use rustc_middle::ty::{self, Ty, TyCtxt, TypeFoldable, TypeSuperFoldable, TypeVisitable}; use std::collections::hash_map::Entry; pub struct TypeFreshener<'a, 'tcx> { infcx: &'a InferCtxt<'tcx>, ty_freshen_count: u32, const_freshen_count: u32, ty_freshen_map: FxHashMap>, const_freshen_map: FxHashMap, ty::Const<'tcx>>, keep_static: bool, } impl<'a, 'tcx> TypeFreshener<'a, 'tcx> { pub fn new(infcx: &'a InferCtxt<'tcx>, keep_static: bool) -> TypeFreshener<'a, 'tcx> { TypeFreshener { infcx, ty_freshen_count: 0, const_freshen_count: 0, ty_freshen_map: Default::default(), const_freshen_map: Default::default(), keep_static, } } fn freshen_ty( &mut self, opt_ty: Option>, key: ty::InferTy, freshener: F, ) -> Ty<'tcx> where F: FnOnce(u32) -> ty::InferTy, { if let Some(ty) = opt_ty { return ty.fold_with(self); } match self.ty_freshen_map.entry(key) { Entry::Occupied(entry) => *entry.get(), Entry::Vacant(entry) => { let index = self.ty_freshen_count; self.ty_freshen_count += 1; let t = self.infcx.tcx.mk_ty_infer(freshener(index)); entry.insert(t); t } } } fn freshen_const( &mut self, opt_ct: Option>, key: ty::InferConst<'tcx>, freshener: F, ty: Ty<'tcx>, ) -> ty::Const<'tcx> where F: FnOnce(u32) -> ty::InferConst<'tcx>, { if let Some(ct) = opt_ct { return ct.fold_with(self); } match self.const_freshen_map.entry(key) { Entry::Occupied(entry) => *entry.get(), Entry::Vacant(entry) => { let index = self.const_freshen_count; self.const_freshen_count += 1; let ct = self.infcx.tcx.mk_const(freshener(index), ty); entry.insert(ct); ct } } } } impl<'a, 'tcx> TypeFolder<'tcx> for TypeFreshener<'a, 'tcx> { fn tcx<'b>(&'b self) -> TyCtxt<'tcx> { self.infcx.tcx } fn fold_region(&mut self, r: ty::Region<'tcx>) -> ty::Region<'tcx> { match *r { ty::ReLateBound(..) => { // leave bound regions alone r } ty::ReEarlyBound(..) | ty::ReFree(_) | ty::ReVar(_) | ty::RePlaceholder(..) | ty::ReErased => { // replace all free regions with 'erased self.tcx().lifetimes.re_erased } ty::ReStatic => { if self.keep_static { r } else { self.tcx().lifetimes.re_erased } } } } fn fold_ty(&mut self, t: Ty<'tcx>) -> Ty<'tcx> { if !t.needs_infer() && !t.has_erasable_regions() { return t; } let tcx = self.infcx.tcx; match *t.kind() { ty::Infer(ty::TyVar(v)) => { let opt_ty = self.infcx.inner.borrow_mut().type_variables().probe(v).known(); self.freshen_ty(opt_ty, ty::TyVar(v), ty::FreshTy) } ty::Infer(ty::IntVar(v)) => self.freshen_ty( self.infcx .inner .borrow_mut() .int_unification_table() .probe_value(v) .map(|v| v.to_type(tcx)), ty::IntVar(v), ty::FreshIntTy, ), ty::Infer(ty::FloatVar(v)) => self.freshen_ty( self.infcx .inner .borrow_mut() .float_unification_table() .probe_value(v) .map(|v| v.to_type(tcx)), ty::FloatVar(v), ty::FreshFloatTy, ), ty::Infer(ty::FreshTy(ct) | ty::FreshIntTy(ct) | ty::FreshFloatTy(ct)) => { if ct >= self.ty_freshen_count { bug!( "Encountered a freshend type with id {} \ but our counter is only at {}", ct, self.ty_freshen_count ); } t } ty::Generator(..) | ty::Bool | ty::Char | ty::Int(..) | ty::Uint(..) | ty::Float(..) | ty::Adt(..) | ty::Str | ty::Error(_) | ty::Array(..) | ty::Slice(..) | ty::RawPtr(..) | ty::Ref(..) | ty::FnDef(..) | ty::FnPtr(_) | ty::Dynamic(..) | ty::Never | ty::Tuple(..) | ty::Alias(..) | ty::Foreign(..) | ty::Param(..) | ty::Closure(..) | ty::GeneratorWitness(..) => t.super_fold_with(self), ty::Placeholder(..) | ty::Bound(..) => bug!("unexpected type {:?}", t), } } fn fold_const(&mut self, ct: ty::Const<'tcx>) -> ty::Const<'tcx> { match ct.kind() { ty::ConstKind::Infer(ty::InferConst::Var(v)) => { let opt_ct = self .infcx .inner .borrow_mut() .const_unification_table() .probe_value(v) .val .known(); self.freshen_const(opt_ct, ty::InferConst::Var(v), ty::InferConst::Fresh, ct.ty()) } ty::ConstKind::Infer(ty::InferConst::Fresh(i)) => { if i >= self.const_freshen_count { bug!( "Encountered a freshend const with id {} \ but our counter is only at {}", i, self.const_freshen_count, ); } ct } ty::ConstKind::Bound(..) | ty::ConstKind::Placeholder(_) => { bug!("unexpected const {:?}", ct) } ty::ConstKind::Param(_) | ty::ConstKind::Value(_) | ty::ConstKind::Unevaluated(..) | ty::ConstKind::Expr(..) | ty::ConstKind::Error(_) => ct.super_fold_with(self), } } }
