Adrian Taylor 6d8d79595e Reject generic self types. ... The RFC for arbitrary self types v2 declares that we should reject "generic" self types. This commit does so. The definition of "generic" was unclear in the RFC, but has been explored in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/129147 and the conclusion is that "generic" means any `self` type which is a type parameter defined on the method itself, or references to such a type. This approach was chosen because other definitions of "generic" don't work. Specifically, * we can't filter out generic type _arguments_, because that would filter out Rc<Self> and all the other types of smart pointer we want to support; * we can't filter out all type params, because Self itself is a type param, and because existing Rust code depends on other type params declared on the type (as opposed to the method). This PR decides to make a new error code for this case, instead of reusing the existing E0307 error. This makes the code a bit more complex, but it seems we have an opportunity to provide specific diagnostics for this case so we should do so. This PR filters out generic self types whether or not the 'arbitrary self types' feature is enabled. However, it's believed that it can't have any effect on code which uses stable Rust, since there are no stable traits which can be used to indicate a valid generic receiver type, and thus it would have been impossible to write code which could trigger this new error case. It is however possible that this could break existing code which uses either of the unstable `arbitrary_self_types` or `receiver_trait` features. This breakage is intentional; as we move arbitrary self types towards stabilization we don't want to continue to support generic such types. This PR adds lots of extra tests to arbitrary-self-from-method-substs. Most of these are ways to trigger a "type mismatch" error which 9b82580c73/compiler/rustc_hir_typeck/src/method/confirm.rs (L519) hopes can be minimized by filtering out generics in this way. We remove a FIXME from confirm.rs suggesting that we make this change. It's still possible to cause type mismatch errors, and a subsequent PR may be able to improve diagnostics in this area, but it's harder to cause these errors without contrived uses of the turbofish.
