Expand description

The resolution of a path or export.

For every path or identifier in Rust, the compiler must determine what the path refers to. This process is called name resolution, and Res is the primary result of name resolution.

For example, everything prefixed with /* Res */ in this example has an associated Res:

fn str_to_string(s: & /* Res */ str) -> /* Res */ String {
    /* Res */ String::from(/* Res */ s)
}

/* Res */ str_to_string("hello");

The associated Ress will be:

  • str will resolve to Res::PrimTy;
  • String will resolve to Res::Def, and the Res will include the DefId for String as defined in the standard library;
  • String::from will also resolve to Res::Def, with the DefId pointing to String::from;
  • s will resolve to Res::Local;
  • the call to str_to_string will resolve to Res::Def, with the DefId pointing to the definition of str_to_string in the current crate.

Variants

Def(DefKindDefId)

Definition having a unique ID (DefId), corresponds to something defined in user code.

Not bound to a specific namespace.

PrimTy(PrimTy)

A primitive type such as i32 or str.

Belongs to the type namespace.

SelfTy

Fields

trait_: Option<DefId>

The trait this Self is a generic arg for.

alias_to: Option<(DefId, bool)>

The item introducing the Self type alias. Can be used in the type_of query to get the underlying type. Additionally whether the Self type is disallowed from mentioning generics (i.e. when used in an anonymous constant).

The Self type, optionally with the DefId of the trait it belongs to and optionally with the DefId of the item introducing the Self type alias.

Belongs to the type namespace.

Examples:

struct Bar(Box<Self>);
// `Res::SelfTy { trait_: None, alias_of: Some(Bar) }`

trait Foo {
    fn foo() -> Box<Self>;
    // `Res::SelfTy { trait_: Some(Foo), alias_of: None }`
}

impl Bar {
    fn blah() {
        let _: Self;
        // `Res::SelfTy { trait_: None, alias_of: Some(::{impl#0}) }`
    }
}

impl Foo for Bar {
    fn foo() -> Box<Self> {
    // `Res::SelfTy { trait_: Some(Foo), alias_of: Some(::{impl#1}) }`
        let _: Self;
        // `Res::SelfTy { trait_: Some(Foo), alias_of: Some(::{impl#1}) }`

        todo!()
    }
}

See also Res::SelfCtor.


HACK(min_const_generics): self types also have an optional requirement to not mention any generic parameters to allow the following with min_const_generics:

impl Foo { fn test() -> [u8; std::mem::size_of::<Self>()] { todo!() } }

struct Bar([u8; baz::<Self>()]);
const fn baz<T>() -> usize { 10 }

We do however allow Self in repeat expression even if it is generic to not break code which already works on stable while causing the const_evaluatable_unchecked future compat lint:

fn foo<T>() {
    let _bar = [1_u8; std::mem::size_of::<*mut T>()];
}

ToolMod

A tool attribute module; e.g., the rustfmt in #[rustfmt::skip].

Belongs to the type namespace.

SelfCtor(DefId)

The Self constructor, along with the DefId of the impl it is associated with.

Belongs to the value namespace.

See also Res::SelfTy.

Local(Id)

A local variable or function parameter.

Belongs to the value namespace.

NonMacroAttr(NonMacroAttrKind)

An attribute that is not implemented via macro. E.g., #[inline] and #[rustfmt::skip], which are essentially directives, as opposed to #[test], which is a builtin macro.

Belongs to the macro namespace.

Err

Name resolution failed. We use a dummy Res variant so later phases of the compiler won’t crash and can instead report more errors.

Not bound to a specific namespace.

Implementations

Return the DefId of this Def if it has an ID, else panic.

Return Some(..) with the DefId of this Res if it has a ID, else None.

Return the DefId of this Res if it represents a module.

A human readable name for the res kind (“function”, “module”, etc.).

Gets an English article for the Res.

Returns None if this is Res::Err

Always returns true if self is Res::Err

Returns whether such a resolved path can occur in a tuple struct/variant pattern

Returns whether such a resolved path can occur in a unit struct/variant pattern

Layout

Note: Unable to compute type layout, possibly due to this type having generic parameters. Layout can only be computed for concrete, fully-instantiated types.
