[RFC] Clarify (and improve) rules for projections and well-formedness #1214

nikomatsakis · 2015-07-17T21:04:14Z

RFC has been accepted and merged.

Current text: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1214-projections-lifetimes-and-wf.md
Tracking issue: rust-lang/rust#27579

Type system changes to address the outlives relation with respect to projections, and to better enforce that all types are well-formed (meaning that they respect their declared bounds). The current implementation can be both unsound (rust-lang/rust#24622), inconvenient (rust-lang/rust#23442), and surprising (rust-lang/rust#21748, rust-lang/rust#25692). The changes are as follows:

Simplify the outlives relation to be syntactically based.
Specify improved rules for the outlives relation and projections.
Specify more specifically where WF bounds are enforced, covering several cases missing from the implementation.

The proposed changes here have been tested and found to cause only a modest number of regressions (about two dozen root regressions were previously found on crates.io; however, that run did not yet include all the provisions from this RFC; updated numbers coming soon). In order to minimize the impact on users, the plan is to first introduce the changes in two stages:

Initially, warnings will be issued for cases that violate the rules specified in this RFC. These warnings are not lints and cannot be silenced except by correcting the code such that it type-checks under the new rules.
After one release cycle, those warnings will become errors.

Note that although the changes do cause regressions, they also cause some code (like that in rust-lang/rust#23442) which currently gets errors to compile successfully.

@nikomatsakis I think the issue referenced for 'unsound' in your description should be rust-lang/rust#24622 which is mentioned in the RFC (also labelled wrong).

nikomatsakis · 2015-07-17T22:17:42Z

@Ryman thanks.

Should this be ∀i. R ⊢ Pi: 'a?

I think the [[T]] issue is a straight bug in rustc and shouldn't result in just a warning.

There should also be a WfTuple - in fact in the form you use there should be a Wf rule for each type constructor.

@arielb1

There should also be a WfTuple - in fact in the form you use there should be a Wf rule for each type constructor.

Added.

@arielb1

I think the [[T]] issue is a straight bug in rustc and shouldn't result in just a warning.

Perhaps, but the issue is really not whether it's a bug or not, the question is about whether code is affected by the change. That said, I haven't observed any.

arielb1 · 2015-07-20T20:40:22Z

@nikomatsakis

[[T]] basically causes an ICE every time it is used, so it is relatively hard to abuse.

arielb1 · 2015-07-21T15:26:53Z

Could you also clarify which of Box<Foo<'a>+'static>, Box<Foo<'static>+'a> and Box<Foo<'a>+'b> are well-formed (assuming 'a and `'b' are unrelated free regions)? AFAICT the rules say that only the second of these is valid, but an example would always be helpful.

Ran into this error using an associated const on a trait. On IRC it was suggested that this is likely a compiler bug.

pub trait IterableEnum<T> {
    const ENUM_VARIANTS: &'static [T];
}

arielb1 · 2015-09-22T10:22:19Z

@Zalastra

Just add T: 'static. Not a bug.

bluss · 2015-09-22T10:47:17Z

It outputs two warnings (playpen)

warning: the trait core::marker::Sized is not implemented for the type T
warning: the parameter type T may not live long enough

The first one must be a bug.

eddyb · 2015-09-22T12:14:30Z

@bluss it's odd because it seems like it doesn't take actual bounds into account - see fixed version (the Sized bound is unnecessary, but it's there to show the issue).

nikomatsakis · 2015-09-30T20:16:27Z

I agree that the T: Sized message is a bug. Did anyone file an issue?
