Enum rustc_infer::traits::ImplSource

pub enum ImplSource<'tcx, N> {
    UserDefined(ImplSourceUserDefinedData<'tcx, N>),
    Param(Vec<N, Global>),
    Builtin(BuiltinImplSource, Vec<N, Global>),
}

Given the successful resolution of an obligation, the ImplSource indicates where the impl comes from.

For example, the obligation may be satisfied by a specific impl (case A), or it may be relative to some bound that is in scope (case B).

impl<T:Clone> Clone<T> for Option<T> { ... } // Impl_1
impl<T:Clone> Clone<T> for Box<T> { ... }    // Impl_2
impl Clone for i32 { ... }                   // Impl_3

fn foo<T: Clone>(concrete: Option<Box<i32>>, param: T, mixed: Option<T>) {
    // Case A: ImplSource points at a specific impl. Only possible when
    // type is concretely known. If the impl itself has bounded
    // type parameters, ImplSource will carry resolutions for those as well:
    concrete.clone(); // ImplSource(Impl_1, [ImplSource(Impl_2, [ImplSource(Impl_3)])])

    // Case B: ImplSource must be provided by caller. This applies when
    // type is a type parameter.
    param.clone();    // ImplSource::Param

    // Case C: A mix of cases A and B.
    mixed.clone();    // ImplSource(Impl_1, [ImplSource::Param])
}

Variants

UserDefined(ImplSourceUserDefinedData<'tcx, N>)

ImplSource identifying a particular impl.

Param(Vec<N, Global>)

Successful resolution to an obligation provided by the caller for some type parameter. The Vec<N> represents the obligations incurred from normalizing the where-clause (if any).

Builtin(BuiltinImplSource, Vec<N, Global>)

Successful resolution for a builtin impl.

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.
