Expand description

Describes the “kind” of the canonical variable. This is a “kind” in the type-theory sense of the term – i.e., a “meta” type system that analyzes type-like values.

Variants

Ty(CanonicalTyVarKind)

Some kind of type inference variable.

PlaceholderTy(Placeholder<BoundVar>)

A “placeholder” that represents “any type”.

Region(UniverseIndex)

Region variable '?R.

PlaceholderRegion(Placeholder<BoundRegionKind>)

A “placeholder” that represents “any region”. Created when you are solving a goal like for<'a> T: Foo<'a> to represent the bound region 'a.

Const(UniverseIndexTy<'tcx>)

Some kind of const inference variable.

PlaceholderConst(Placeholder<BoundVar>, Ty<'tcx>)

A “placeholder” that represents “any const”.

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.
