avoid generalization inside of aliases The basic idea of this PR is that we don't generalize aliases when the instantiation could fail later on, either due to the *occurs check* or because of a universe error. We instead replace the whole alias with an inference variable and emit a nested `AliasRelate` goal. This `AliasRelate` then fully normalizes the alias before equating it with the inference variable, at which point the alias can be treated like any other rigid type. We now treat aliases differently depending on whether they are *rigid* or not. To detect whether an alias is rigid we check whether `NormalizesTo` fails. While we already do so inside of `AliasRelate` anyways, also doing so when instantiating a query response would be both ugly/difficult and likely inefficient. To avoid that I change `instantiate_and_apply_query_response` to relate types completely structurally. This change generally removes a lot of annoying complexity, which is nice. It's implemented by adding a flag to `Equate` to change it to structurally handle aliases. We currently always apply constraints from canonical queries right away. By providing all the necessary information to the canonical query, we can guarantee that instantiating the query response never fails, which further simplifies the implementation. This does add the invariant that *any information which could cause instantiating type variables to fail must also be available inside of the query*. While it's acceptable for canonicalization to result in more ambiguity, we must not cause the solver to incompletely structurally relate aliases by erasing information. This means we have to be careful when merging universes during canonicalization. As we only generalize for type and const variables we have to make sure that anything nameable by such a type or const variable inside of the canonical query is also nameable outside of it. Because of this we both stop merging universes of existential variables when canonicalizing inputs, we put all uniquified regions into a higher universe which is not nameable by any type or const variable. I will look into always replacing aliases with inference variables when generalizing in a later PR unless the alias references bound variables. This should both pretty much fix https://github.com/rust-lang/trait-system-refactor-initiative/issues/4. This may allow us to merge the universes of existential variables again by changing generalize to not consider their universe when deciding whether to generalize aliases. This requires some additional non-trivial changes to alias-relate, so I am leaving that as future work. Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/trait-system-refactor-initiative/issues/79. While it would be nice to decrement universe indices when existing a `forall`, that was surprisingly difficult and not necessary to fix this issue. I am really happy with the approach in this PR think it is the correct way forward to also fix the remaining cases of https://github.com/rust-lang/trait-system-refactor-initiative/issues/8. |
