These should probably just be unreachable!
... but this change is fine, it should never be hit in practice.

same here, push_snapshot_pre_closure

Renamed to push_snapshot_pre_typeck_child
. Feel free to suggest a better name :)

This seems great to me. Anyway, leaving this up to @nikomatsakis.

seems weird to erase regions above, given that ty
is not erased here -- it'd be better to erase everything or nothing.

ty is from typeck().node_type()

can we extract this into a method, so that we write
defining_ty.is_any_const()
?

There is is_const
that does this, but this one needs to match def_id. I'll split it into a is_const
call followed by a def_id
call.

In most cases it is handled in the same way as closures.

Type inference for inline consts Fixes rust-lang#78132 Fixes rust-lang#78174 Fixes rust-lang#81857 Fixes rust-lang#89964 Perform type checking/inference of inline consts in the same context as the outer def, similar to what is currently done to closure. Doing so would require `closure_base_def_id` of the inline const to return the outer def, and since `closure_base_def_id` can be called on non-local crate (and thus have no HIR available), a new `DefKind` is created for inline consts. The type of the generated anon const can capture lifetime of outer def, so we couldn't just use the typeck result as the type of the inline const's def. Closure has a similar issue, and it uses extra type params `CK, CS, U` to capture closure kind, input/output signature and upvars. I use a similar approach for inline consts, letting it have an extra type param `R`, and then `typeof(InlineConst<[paremt generics], R>)` would just be `R`. In borrowck region requirements are also propagated to the outer MIR body just like it's currently done for closure. With this PR, inline consts in expression position are quitely usable now; however the usage in pattern position is still incomplete -- since those does not remain in the MIR borrowck couldn't verify the lifetime there. I have left an ignored test as a FIXME.

Split inline const to two feature gates and mark expression position inline const complete This PR splits inline const in pattern position into its own `#![feature(inline_const_pat)]` feature gate, and make the usage in expression position complete. I think I have resolved most outstanding issues related to `inline_const` with rust-lang#89561 and other PRs. The only thing left that I am aware of is rust-lang#90150 and the lack of lifetime checks when inline const is used in pattern position (FIXME in rust-lang#89561). Implementation-wise when used in pattern position it has to be lowered during MIR building while in expression position it's evaluated only when monomorphizing (just like normal consts), so it makes some sense to separate it into two feature gates so one can progress without being blocked by another. `@rustbot` label: T-compiler F-inline_const

Stabilise inline_const # Stabilisation Report ## Summary This PR will stabilise `inline_const` feature in expression position. `inline_const_pat` is still unstable and will *not* be stabilised. The feature will allow code like this: ```rust foo(const { 1 + 1 }) ``` which is roughly desugared into ```rust struct Foo; impl Foo { const FOO: i32 = 1 + 1; } foo(Foo::FOO) ``` This feature is from rust-lang/rfcs#2920 and is tracked in rust-lang#76001 (the tracking issue should *not* be closed as it needs to track inline const in pattern position). The initial implementation is done in rust-lang#77124. ## Difference from RFC There are two major differences (enhancements) as implemented from the RFC. First thing is that the RFC says that the type of an inline const block inferred from the content *within* it, but we currently can infer the type using the information from outside the const block as well. This is a frequently requested feature to the initial implementation (e.g. rust-lang#89964). The inference is implemented in rust-lang#89561 and is done by treating inline const similar to a closure and therefore share inference context with its parent body. This allows code like: ```rust let v: Vec<i32> = const { Vec::new() }; ``` Another enhancement that differs from the RFC is that we currently allow inline consts to reference generic parameters. This is implemented in rust-lang#96557. This allows code like: ```rust fn create_none_array<T, const N: usize>() -> [Option<T>; N] { [const { None::<T> }; N] } ``` This enhancement also makes inline const usable as static asserts: ```rust fn require_zst<T>() { const { assert!(std::mem::size_of::<T>() == 0) } } ``` ## Documentation Reference: rust-lang/reference#1295 ## Unresolved issues We still have a few issues that are not resolved, but I don't think it necessarily has to block stabilisation: * expr fragment specifier issue: rust-lang#86730 * ~~`const {}` behaves similar to `async {}` but not to `{}` and `unsafe {}` (they are treated as `ExpressionWithoutBlock` rather than `ExpressionWithBlock`): https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/213817-t-lang/topic/const.20blocks.20differ.20from.20normal.20and.20from.20unsafe.20blocks/near/290229453~~ ## Tests There are a few tests in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/test/ui/inline-const

This allows code like: ```rust let v: Vec<i32> = const { Vec::new() }; ``` Another enhancement that differs from the RFC is that we currently allow inline consts to reference generic parameters. This is implemented in rust-lang#96557. This allows code like: ```rust fn create_none_array<T, const N: usize>() -> [Option<T>; N] { [const { None::<T> }; N] } ``` This enhancement also makes inline const usable as static asserts: ```rust fn require_zst<T>() { const { assert!(std::mem::size_of::<T>() == 0) } } ``` ## Documentation Reference: rust-lang/reference#1295 ## Unresolved issues We still have a few issues that are not resolved, but I don't think it necessarily has to block stabilisation: * expr fragment specifier issue: rust-lang#86730 * ~~`const {}` behaves similar to `async {}` but not to `{}` and `unsafe {}` (they are treated as `ExpressionWithoutBlock` rather than `ExpressionWithBlock`): https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/213817-t-lang/topic/const.20blocks.20differ.20from.20normal.20and.20from.20unsafe.20blocks/near/290229453~~ ## Tests There are a few tests in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/test/ui/inline-const

Perform type checking/inference of inline consts in the same context as the outer def, similar to what is currently done to closure.
Doing so would require
closure_base_def_id
of the inline const to return the outer def, and sinceclosure_base_def_id
can be called on non-local crate (and thus have no HIR available), a newDefKind
is created for inline consts.The type of the generated anon const can capture lifetime of outer def, so we couldn't just use the typeck result as the type of the inline const's def. Closure has a similar issue, and it uses extra type params
CK, CS, U
to capture closure kind, input/output signature and upvars. I use a similar approach for inline consts, letting it have an extra type paramR
, and thentypeof(InlineConst<[paremt generics], R>)
would just beR
. In borrowck region requirements are also propagated to the outer MIR body just like it's currently done for closure.With this PR, inline consts in expression position are quitely usable now; however the usage in pattern position is still incomplete -- since those does not remain in the MIR borrowck couldn't verify the lifetime there. I have left an ignored test as a FIXME.
Some disucssions can be found on this Zulip thread.
