Expand description

A monomorphized InstanceDef.

Monomorphization happens on-the-fly and no monomorphized MIR is ever created. Instead, this type simply couples a potentially generic InstanceDef with some substs, and codegen and const eval will do all required substitution as they run.

Fields

def: InstanceDef<'tcx>substs: SubstsRef<'tcx>

Implementations

Returns the Ty corresponding to this Instance, with generic substitutions applied and lifetimes erased, allowing a ParamEnv to be specified for use during normalization.

Finds a crate that contains a monomorphization of this instance that can be linked to from the local crate. A return value of None means no upstream crate provides such an exported monomorphization.

This method already takes into account the global -Zshare-generics setting, always returning None if share-generics is off.

Resolves a (def_id, substs) pair to an (optional) instance – most commonly, this is used to find the precise code that will run for a trait method invocation, if known.

Returns Ok(None) if we cannot resolve Instance to a specific instance. For example, in a context like this,

fn foo<T: Debug>(t: T) { ... }

trying to resolve Debug::fmt applied to T will yield Ok(None), because we do not know what code ought to run. (Note that this setting is also affected by the RevealMode in the parameter environment.)

Presuming that coherence and type-check have succeeded, if this method is invoked in a monomorphic context (i.e., like during codegen), then it is guaranteed to return Ok(Some(instance)).

Returns Err(ErrorGuaranteed) when the Instance resolution process couldn’t complete due to errors elsewhere - this is distinct from Ok(None) to avoid misleading diagnostics when an error has already been/will be emitted, for the original cause

Depending on the kind of InstanceDef, the MIR body associated with an instance is expressed in terms of the generic parameters of self.def_id(), and in other cases the MIR body is expressed in terms of the types found in the substitution array. In the former case, we want to substitute those generic types and replace them with the values from the substs when monomorphizing the function body. But in the latter case, we don’t want to do that substitution, since it has already been done effectively.

This function returns Some(substs) in the former case and None otherwise – i.e., if this function returns None, then the MIR body does not require substitution during codegen.

Returns a new Instance where generic parameters in instance.substs are replaced by identity parameters if they are determined to be unused in instance.def.

Returns true if self has any late-bound regions that are either bound by binder or bound by some binder outside of binder. If binder is ty::INNERMOST, this indicates whether there are any late-bound regions that appear free. Read more
Returns true if this self has any regions that escape binder (and hence are not bound by it). Read more
“Free” regions in this context means that it has any region that is not (a) erased or (b) late-bound. Read more
True if there are any un-erased free regions.
Indicates whether this value references only ‘global’ generic parameters that are the same regardless of what fn we are in. This is used for caching. Read more
True if there are any late-bound regions
Indicates whether this value still has parameters/placeholders/inference variables which could be replaced later, in a way that would change the results of impl specialization. Read more

This method turns the parameters of a DepNodeConstructor into an opaque Fingerprint to be used in DepNode. Not all DepNodeParams support being turned into a Fingerprint (they don’t need to if the corresponding DepNode is anonymous). Read more
This method tries to recover the query key from the given DepNode, something which is needed when forcing DepNodes during red-green evaluation. The query system will only call this method if fingerprint_style() is not FingerprintStyle::Opaque. It is always valid to return None here, in which case incremental compilation will treat the query as having changed instead of forcing it. Read more
