Use equality when relating formal and expected type in arg checking #129059 uncovered an interesting issue in argument checking. When we check arguments, we create three sets of types: * Formals * Expected * Actuals The **actuals** are the types of the argument expressions themselves. The **formals** are the types from the signature that we're checking. The **expected** types are the formal types, but passed through `expected_inputs_for_expected_outputs`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/a971212545766fdfe0dd68e5d968133f79944a19/compiler/rustc_hir_typeck/src/fn_ctxt/_impl.rs#L691-L725 This method attempts to constrain the formal inputs by relating the [expectation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_hir_typeck/expectation/enum.Expectation.html) of the call expression and the formal output. When we check an argument, we get the expression's actual type, and then we first attempt to coerce it to the expected type: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/a971212545766fdfe0dd68e5d968133f79944a19/compiler/rustc_hir_typeck/src/fn_ctxt/checks.rs#L280-L293 Then we subtype the expected type and the formal type: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/a971212545766fdfe0dd68e5d968133f79944a19/compiler/rustc_hir_typeck/src/fn_ctxt/checks.rs#L299-L305 However, since we are now recording the right coercion target (since #129059), we now end up recording the expected type to the typeck results, rather than the actual. Since that expected type was [fudged](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_infer/infer/struct.InferCtxt.html#method.fudge_inference_if_ok), it has fresh variables. And since the expected type is only subtyped against the formal type, if that expected type has a bivariant parameter, it will likely remain unconstrained since `Covariant * Bivariant = Bivariant` according to [xform](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_middle/ty/enum.Variance.html#method.xform). This leads to an unconstrained type variable in writeback. AFAICT, there's no reason for us to be using subtyping here, though. The expected output is already related to the expectation by subtyping: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/a971212545766fdfe0dd68e5d968133f79944a19/compiler/rustc_hir_typeck/src/fn_ctxt/_impl.rs#L713 So the formals don't need "another" indirection of subtyping in the argument checking... So I've changed it to use equality here. We could alternatively fix this by requiring WF for all the expected types to constrain their bivariant parameters, but this seems a bit overkill. Fixes #129286
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
