Expand description

The next-generation trait solver, currently still WIP.

As a user of rust, you can use -Ztrait-solver=next or next-coherence to enable the new trait solver always, or just within coherence, respectively.

As a developer of rustc, you shouldn’t be using the new trait solver without asking the trait-system-refactor-initiative, but it can be enabled with InferCtxtBuilder::with_next_trait_solver. This will ensure that trait solving using that inference context will be routed to the new trait solver.

For a high-level overview of how this solver works, check out the relevant section of the rustc-dev-guide.

FIXME(@lcnr): Write that section. If you read this before then ask me about it on zulip.

Modules

  • Implements the AliasRelate goal, which is used when unifying aliases. Doing this via a separate goal is called “deferred alias relation” and part of our more general approach to “lazy normalization”.
  • assembly 🔒
    Code shared by trait and projection goals for candidate assembly.
  • eval_ctxt 🔒
  • fulfill 🔒
  • Computes a normalizes-to (projection) goal for inherent associated types, #![feature(inherent_associated_type)]. Since astconv already determines which impl the IAT is being projected from, we just:
  • normalize 🔒
  • opaques 🔒
    Computes a normalizes-to (projection) goal for opaque types. This goal behaves differently depending on the param-env’s reveal mode and whether the opaque is in a defining scope.
  • Dealing with trait goals, i.e. T: Trait<'a, U>.
  • weak_types 🔒
    Computes a normalizes-to (projection) goal for inherent associated types, #![feature(lazy_type_alias)] and #![feature(type_alias_impl_trait)].
