- don't return the receiver type from method resolution; instead just
return the autorefs/autoderefs that happened and repeat them. This
ensures all the effects like trait obligations and whatever we learned
about type variables from derefing them are actually applied. Also, it
allows us to get rid of `decanonicalize_ty`, which was just wrong in
principle.
- Autoderef itself now directly works with an inference table. Sadly
this has the effect of making it harder to use as an iterator, often
requiring manual `while let` loops. (rustc works around this by using
inner mutability in the inference context, so that things like unifying
types don't require a unique reference.)
- We now record the adjustments (autoref/deref) for method receivers
and index expressions, which we didn't before.
- Removed the redundant crate parameter from method resolution, since
the trait_env contains the crate as well.
- in the HIR API, the methods now take a scope to determine the trait env.
`Type` carries a trait env, but I think that's probably a bad decision
because it's easy to create it with the wrong env, e.g. by using
`Adt::ty`. This mostly didn't matter so far because
`iterate_method_candidates` took a crate parameter and ignored
`self.krate`, but the trait env would still have been wrong in those
cases, which I think would give some wrong results in some edge cases.
Fixes#10058.
Should fix#10090, #10046, #10179.
This is only a workaround, but the proper fix requires some bigger
refactoring (also related to fixing #10058), and this at least prevents
the crash.
Chalk's unification can sometimes create lifetime variables, which we
currently don't really deal with, but at least we don't want to leak
them outside of inference.
Should fix#8919.
We can't do the easy hack that we did before anymore, where we kept
track of whether any inference variables changed since the last time we
rechecked obligations. Instead, we store the obligations in
canonicalized form; that way we can easily check the inference variables
to see whether they have changed since the goal was canonicalized.
I'd prefer getting rid of it, but it's used in the impl search and not
super easy to replace there (I think ideally the impl search would do
proper unification, but that's a bit more complicated).
