Required Methods§

source

fn param_env(&self) -> ParamEnv<'tcx>

source

fn span(&self) -> Span

source

fn push_outlives( &mut self, sup: Region<'tcx>, sub: Region<'tcx>, info: VarianceDiagInfo<'tcx> )

Push a constraint sup: sub – this constraint must be satisfied for the two types to be related. sub and sup may be regions from the type or new variables created through the delegate.

source

fn register_obligations(&mut self, obligations: PredicateObligations<'tcx>)

source

fn create_next_universe(&mut self) -> UniverseIndex

Creates a new universe index. Used when instantiating placeholders.

source

fn next_existential_region_var( &mut self, was_placeholder: bool, name: Option<Symbol> ) -> Region<'tcx>

Creates a new region variable representing a higher-ranked region that is instantiated existentially. This creates an inference variable, typically.

So e.g., if you have for<'a> fn(..) <: for<'b> fn(..), then we will invoke this method to instantiate 'a with an inference variable (though 'b would be instantiated first, as a placeholder).

source

fn next_placeholder_region( &mut self, placeholder: PlaceholderRegion ) -> Region<'tcx>

Creates a new region variable representing a higher-ranked region that is instantiated universally. This creates a new region placeholder, typically.

So e.g., if you have for<'a> fn(..) <: for<'b> fn(..), then we will invoke this method to instantiate 'b with a placeholder region.

source

fn generalize_existential(&mut self, universe: UniverseIndex) -> Region<'tcx>

Creates a new existential region in the given universe. This is used when handling subtyping and type variables – if we have that ?X <: Foo<'a>, for example, we would instantiate ?X with a type like Foo<'?0> where '?0 is a fresh existential variable created by this function. We would then relate Foo<'?0> with Foo<'a> (and probably add an outlives relation stating that '?0: 'a).

source

fn forbid_inference_vars() -> bool

Enables some optimizations if we do not expect inference variables in the RHS of the relation.
