// build-pass // Check that a reservation impl does not force other impls to follow // a lattice discipline. // Why did we ever want to do this? // // We want to eventually add an `impl From for T` impl. That impl conflicts // with existing impls - at least the `impl From for T` impl. There are // 2 ways we thought of for dealing with that conflict: // // 1. Using specialization and doing some handling for the // overlap. The current thought is to require ["intersection // impls"][ii], specialization", which means providing an // (higher-priority) impl for the intersection of every 2 conflicting // impls that determines what happens in the intersection case. That's // the first thing we thought about - see e.g. // https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/57012#issuecomment-452150775 // // 2. The other way is to notice that `impl From for T` is basically a // marker trait since its only method is uninhabited, and allow for "marker // trait overlap", where the conflict "doesn't matter" because it can't // actually cause any ambiguity. // // Now it turned out lattice specialization doesn't work it, because an // `impl From for Smaht` would require an `impl From for Smaht`, // breaking backwards-compatibility in a fairly painful way. So if we want to // go with a known approach, we should go with a "marker trait overlap"-style // approach. // // [ii]: https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2016/09/24/intersection-impls/ #![feature(rustc_attrs, never_type)] trait MyTrait {} impl MyTrait for ! {} trait MyFrom { fn my_from(x: T) -> Self; } // Given the "normal" impls for From #[rustc_reservation_impl="this impl is reserved"] impl MyFrom for T { fn my_from(x: !) -> Self { match x {} } } impl MyFrom for T { fn my_from(x: T) -> Self { x } } // ... we *do* want to allow this common pattern, of `From for MySmaht` struct MySmaht(T); impl MyFrom for MySmaht { fn my_from(x: T) -> Self { MySmaht(x) } } fn main() {}
