Struct rustc_hir_typeck::coercion::CoerceMany

pub struct CoerceMany<'tcx, 'exprs, E: AsCoercionSite> {
    expected_ty: Ty<'tcx>,
    final_ty: Option<Ty<'tcx>>,
    expressions: Expressions<'tcx, 'exprs, E>,
    pushed: usize,
}

CoerceMany encapsulates the pattern you should use when you have many expressions that are all getting coerced to a common type. This arises, for example, when you have a match (the result of each arm is coerced to a common type). It also arises in less obvious places, such as when you have many break foo expressions that target the same loop, or the various return expressions in a function.

The basic protocol is as follows:

• Instantiate the CoerceMany with an initial expected_ty. This will also serve as the “starting LUB”. The expectation is that this type is something which all of the expressions must be coercible to. Use a fresh type variable if needed.
• For each expression whose result is to be coerced, invoke coerce() with.
  • In some cases we wish to coerce “non-expressions” whose types are implicitly unit. This happens for example if you have a break with no expression, or an if with no else. In that case, invoke coerce_forced_unit().
  • coerce() and coerce_forced_unit() may report errors. They hide this from you so that you don’t have to worry your pretty head about it. But if an error is reported, the final type will be err.
  • Invoking coerce() may cause us to go and adjust the “adjustments” on previously coerced expressions.
• When all done, invoke complete(). This will return the LUB of all your expressions.
  • WARNING: I don’t believe this final type is guaranteed to be related to your initial expected_ty in any particular way, although it will typically be a subtype, so you should check it.
  • Invoking complete() may cause us to go and adjust the “adjustments” on previously coerced expressions.

Example:

let mut coerce = CoerceMany::new(expected_ty);
for expr in exprs {
    let expr_ty = fcx.check_expr_with_expectation(expr, expected);
    coerce.coerce(fcx, &cause, expr, expr_ty);
}
let final_ty = coerce.complete(fcx);

Implementations

impl<'tcx, 'exprs, E: AsCoercionSite> CoerceMany<'tcx, 'exprs, E>

pub fn new(expected_ty: Ty<'tcx>) -> Self

The usual case; collect the set of expressions dynamically. If the full set of coercion sites is known before hand, consider with_coercion_sites() instead to avoid allocation.

pub fn with_coercion_sites(
    expected_ty: Ty<'tcx>,
    coercion_sites: &'exprs [E]
) -> Self

As an optimization, you can create a CoerceMany with a pre-existing slice of expressions. In this case, you are expected to pass each element in the slice to coerce(...) in order. This is used with arrays in particular to avoid needlessly cloning the slice.

fn make(expected_ty: Ty<'tcx>, expressions: Expressions<'tcx, 'exprs, E>) -> Self

pub fn expected_ty(&self) -> Ty<'tcx>

Returns the “expected type” with which this coercion was constructed. This represents the “downward propagated” type that was given to us at the start of typing whatever construct we are typing (e.g., the match expression).

Typically, this is used as the expected type when type-checking each of the alternative expressions whose types we are trying to merge.

pub fn merged_ty(&self) -> Ty<'tcx>

Returns the current “merged type”, representing our best-guess at the LUB of the expressions we’ve seen so far (if any). This isn’t final until you call self.complete(), which will return the merged type.

pub fn coerce<'a>(
    &mut self,
    fcx: &FnCtxt<'a, 'tcx>,
    cause: &ObligationCause<'tcx>,
    expression: &'tcx Expr<'tcx>,
    expression_ty: Ty<'tcx>
)

Indicates that the value generated by expression, which is of type expression_ty, is one of the possibilities that we could coerce from. This will record expression, and later calls to coerce may come back and add adjustments and things if necessary.

pub fn coerce_forced_unit<'a>(
    &mut self,
    fcx: &FnCtxt<'a, 'tcx>,
    cause: &ObligationCause<'tcx>,
    augment_error: &mut dyn FnMut(&mut Diagnostic),
    label_unit_as_expected: bool
)

Indicates that one of the inputs is a “forced unit”. This occurs in a case like if foo { ... };, where the missing else generates a “forced unit”. Another example is a loop { break; }, where the break has no argument expression. We treat these cases slightly differently for error-reporting purposes. Note that these tend to correspond to cases where the () expression is implicit in the source, and hence we do not take an expression argument.

The augment_error gives you a chance to extend the error message, in case any results (e.g., we use this to suggest removing a ;).

pub(crate) fn coerce_inner<'a>(
    &mut self,
    fcx: &FnCtxt<'a, 'tcx>,
    cause: &ObligationCause<'tcx>,
    expression: Option<&'tcx Expr<'tcx>>,
    expression_ty: Ty<'tcx>,
    augment_error: Option<&mut dyn FnMut(&mut Diagnostic)>,
    label_expression_as_expected: bool
)

The inner coercion “engine”. If expression is None, this is a forced-unit case, and hence expression_ty must be Nil.

fn note_unreachable_loop_return(
    &self,
    err: &mut Diagnostic,
    expr: &Expr<'tcx>,
    ret_exprs: &Vec<&'tcx Expr<'tcx>>
)

fn report_return_mismatched_types<'a>(
    &self,
    cause: &ObligationCause<'tcx>,
    expected: Ty<'tcx>,
    found: Ty<'tcx>,
    ty_err: TypeError<'tcx>,
    fcx: &FnCtxt<'a, 'tcx>,
    id: HirId,
    expression: Option<&'tcx Expr<'tcx>>,
    blk_id: Option<HirId>
) -> DiagnosticBuilder<'a, ErrorGuaranteed>

fn add_impl_trait_explanation<'a>(
    &self,
    err: &mut Diagnostic,
    cause: &ObligationCause<'tcx>,
    fcx: &FnCtxt<'a, 'tcx>,
    expected: Ty<'tcx>,
    sp: Span,
    fn_output: &FnRetTy<'_>
)

fn is_return_ty_unsized<'a>(&self, fcx: &FnCtxt<'a, 'tcx>, blk_id: HirId) -> bool

pub fn complete<'a>(self, fcx: &FnCtxt<'a, 'tcx>) -> Ty<'tcx>

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.
