#91318 introduced a trait for infallible folders distinct from the fallible version. For some reason (completely unfathomable to me now that I look at it with fresh eyes), the infallible trait was a supertrait of the fallible one: that is, all fallible folders were required to also be infallible. Moreover the `Error` associated type was defined on the infallible trait! It's so absurd that it has me questioning whether I was entirely sane.
This trait reverses the hierarchy, so that the fallible trait is a supertrait of the infallible one: all infallible folders are required to also be fallible (which is a trivial blanket implementation). This of course makes much more sense! It also enables the `Error` associated type to sit on the fallible trait, where it sensibly belongs.
There is one downside however: folders expose a `tcx` accessor method. Since the blanket fallible implementation for infallible folders only has access to a generic `F: TypeFolder`, we need that trait to expose such an accessor to which we can delegate. Alternatively it's possible to extract that accessor into a separate `HasTcx` trait (or similar) that would then be a supertrait of both the fallible and infallible folder traits: this would ensure that there's only one unambiguous `tcx` method, at the cost of a little additional boilerplate. If desired, I can submit that as a separate PR.

And likewise for the `Const::val` method.
Because its type is called `ConstKind`. Also `val` is a confusing name
because `ConstKind` is an enum with seven variants, one of which is
called `Value`. Also, this gives consistency with `TyS` and `PredicateS`
which have `kind` fields.
The commit also renames a few `Const` variables from `val` to `c`, to
avoid confusion with the `ConstKind::Value` variant.
This commit makes type folding more like the way chalk does it.
Currently, `TypeFoldable` has `fold_with` and `super_fold_with` methods.
- `fold_with` is the standard entry point, and defaults to calling
`super_fold_with`.
- `super_fold_with` does the actual work of traversing a type.
- For a few types of interest (`Ty`, `Region`, etc.) `fold_with` instead
calls into a `TypeFolder`, which can then call back into
`super_fold_with`.
With the new approach, `TypeFoldable` has `fold_with` and
`TypeSuperFoldable` has `super_fold_with`.
- `fold_with` is still the standard entry point, *and* it does the
actual work of traversing a type, for all types except types of
interest.
- `super_fold_with` is only implemented for the types of interest.
Benefits of the new model.
- I find it easier to understand. The distinction between types of
interest and other types is clearer, and `super_fold_with` doesn't
exist for most types.
- With the current model is easy to get confused and implement a
`super_fold_with` method that should be left defaulted. (Some of the
precursor commits fixed such cases.)
- With the current model it's easy to call `super_fold_with` within
`TypeFolder` impls where `fold_with` should be called. The new
approach makes this mistake impossible, and this commit fixes a number
of such cases.
- It's potentially faster, because it avoids the `fold_with` ->
`super_fold_with` call in all cases except types of interest. A lot of
the time the compile would inline those away, but not necessarily
always.
Specifically, rename the `Const` struct as `ConstS` and re-introduce `Const` as
this:
```
pub struct Const<'tcx>(&'tcx Interned<ConstS>);
```
This now matches `Ty` and `Predicate` more closely, including using
pointer-based `eq` and `hash`.
Notable changes:
- `mk_const` now takes a `ConstS`.
- `Const` was copy, despite being 48 bytes. Now `ConstS` is not, so need a
we need separate arena for it, because we can't use the `Dropless` one any
more.
- Many `&'tcx Const<'tcx>`/`&Const<'tcx>` to `Const<'tcx>` changes
- Many `ct.ty` to `ct.ty()` and `ct.val` to `ct.val()` changes.
- Lots of tedious sigil fiddling.
Specifically, change `Ty` from this:
```
pub type Ty<'tcx> = &'tcx TyS<'tcx>;
```
to this
```
pub struct Ty<'tcx>(Interned<'tcx, TyS<'tcx>>);
```
There are two benefits to this.
- It's now a first class type, so we can define methods on it. This
means we can move a lot of methods away from `TyS`, leaving `TyS` as a
barely-used type, which is appropriate given that it's not meant to
be used directly.
- The uniqueness requirement is now explicit, via the `Interned` type.
E.g. the pointer-based `Eq` and `Hash` comes from `Interned`, rather
than via `TyS`, which wasn't obvious at all.
Much of this commit is boring churn. The interesting changes are in
these files:
- compiler/rustc_middle/src/arena.rs
- compiler/rustc_middle/src/mir/visit.rs
- compiler/rustc_middle/src/ty/context.rs
- compiler/rustc_middle/src/ty/mod.rs
Specifically:
- Most mentions of `TyS` are removed. It's very much a dumb struct now;
`Ty` has all the smarts.
- `TyS` now has `crate` visibility instead of `pub`.
- `TyS::make_for_test` is removed in favour of the static `BOOL_TY`,
which just works better with the new structure.
- The `Eq`/`Ord`/`Hash` impls are removed from `TyS`. `Interned`s impls
of `Eq`/`Hash` now suffice. `Ord` is now partly on `Interned`
(pointer-based, for the `Equal` case) and partly on `TyS`
(contents-based, for the other cases).
- There are many tedious sigil adjustments, i.e. adding or removing `*`
or `&`. They seem to be unavoidable.
Turns out, this has some really bad perf implications in large types (issue #88862). While we technically can handle them fine, it doesn't change test output either way. For now, revert with an added benchmark. Future attempts to change this back will have to consider perf.
Previously, we would 'forget' that we had `'static` regions in some
place during trait evaluation. This lead to us producing
`EvaluatedToOkModuloRegions` when we could have produced
`EvaluatedToOk`, causing us to perform unnecessary work.
This PR preserves `'static` regions when we canonicalize a predicate for
`evaluate_obligation`, and when we 'freshen' a predicate during trait
evaluation. Thie ensures that evaluating a predicate containing
`'static` regions can produce `EvaluatedToOk` (assuming that we
don't end up introducing any region dependencies during evaluation).
Building off of this improved caching, we use
`predicate_must_hold_considering_regions` during fulfillment of
projection predicates to see if we can skip performing additional work.
We already do this for trait predicates, but doing this for projection
predicates lead to mixed performance results without the above caching
improvements.
type is too big -> values of the type are too big
strictly speaking, `[u8; usize::MAX]` or even `[[[u128; usize::MAX]; usize::MAX]; usize::MAX]` are absolutely fine types as long as you don't try to deal with any values of it.
This error message seems to cause some confusion imo, for example in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79135#issuecomment-729361380 so I would prefer us to be more precise here.
See the added test case which uses one of these types without causing an error.
