Module rustc_passes::check_const
source · [−]Expand description
This pass checks HIR bodies that may be evaluated at compile-time (e.g., const, static,
const fn) for structured control flow (e.g. if, while), which is forbidden in a const
context.
By the time the MIR const-checker runs, these high-level constructs have been lowered to
control-flow primitives (e.g., Goto, SwitchInt), making it tough to properly attribute
errors. We still look for those primitives in the MIR const-checker to ensure nothing slips
through, but errors for structured control flow in a const should be emitted here.
Structs
Enums
An expression that is not always legal in a const context.
