Module rustc_const_eval::interpret::projection

This file implements “place projections”; basically a symmetric API for 3 types: MPlaceTy, OpTy, PlaceTy.

OpTy and PlaceTy generally work by “let’s see if we are actually an MPlaceTy, and do something custom if not”. For PlaceTy, the custom thing is basically always to call force_allocation and then use the MPlaceTy logic anyway. For OpTy, the custom thing on field pojections has to be pretty clever (since Operand::Immediate can have fields), but for array/slice operations it only has to worry about Operand::Uninit. That makes the value part trivial, but we still need to do bounds checking and adjust the layout. To not duplicate that with MPlaceTy, we actually implement the logic on OpTy, and MPlaceTy calls that.

Structs

• ArrayIterator
  A type representing iteration over the elements of an array.

Traits

• Projectable
  A thing that we can project into, and that has a layout.
