THIR patterns: Always use type `str` for string-constant-value nodes Historically, constants and literals of type `&str` have been represented in THIR patterns as `PatKind::Const` nodes with type `&str`. That's fine for stable Rust, but `feature(deref_patterns)` also created a need to have string literal patterns of type `str` in some cases, which resulted in a number of additional special cases and inconsistencies in typechecking and in HIR-to-THIR-to-MIR lowering of patterns. We can avoid several of those special cases by having THIR treat string-constant-values as fundamentally being of type `str`, and then using `PatKind::Deref` to represent the additional `&` layer in the common case where it is needed. This allows bare `str` patterns to require very little special treatment. Existing tests should already do a good job of demonstrating that this implementation change does not affect the stable language.
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 integrated 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).
