3062: Implement slice pattern AST > HIR lowering r=jplatte a=jplatte
WIP. The necessary changes for parsing are implemented, but actual inference is not yet. Just wanted to upload what I've got so far so it doesn't get duplicated :)
Will fix#3043

3050: Refactor type parameters, implement argument position impl trait r=matklad a=flodiebold
I wanted to implement APIT by lowering to type parameters because we need to do that anyway for correctness and don't need Chalk support for it; this grew into some more wide-ranging refactoring of how type parameters are handled 😅
- use Ty::Bound instead of Ty::Param to represent polymorphism, and explicitly
count binders. This gets us closer to Chalk's way of doing things, and means
that we now only use Param as a placeholder for an unknown type, e.g. within
a generic function. I.e. we're never using Param in a situation where we want
to substitute it, and the method to do that is gone; `subst` now always works
on bound variables. (This changes how the types of generic functions print;
previously, you'd get something like `fn identity<i32>(T) -> T`, but now we
display the substituted signature `fn identity<i32>(i32) -> i32`, which I think
makes more sense.)
- once we do this, it's more natural to represent `Param` by a globally unique
ID; the use of indices was mostly to make substituting easier. This also
means we fix the bug where `Param` loses its name when going through Chalk.
- I would actually like to rename `Param` to `Placeholder` to better reflect its use and
get closer to Chalk, but I'll leave that to a follow-up.
- introduce a context for type lowering, to allow lowering `impl Trait` to
different things depending on where we are. And since we have that, we can
also lower type parameters directly to variables instead of placeholders.
Also, we'll be able to use this later to collect diagnostics.
- implement argument position impl trait by lowering it to type parameters.
I've realized that this is necessary to correctly implement it; e.g. consider
`fn foo(impl Display) -> impl Something`. It's observable that the return
type of e.g. `foo(1u32)` unifies with itself, but doesn't unify with e.g.
`foo(1i32)`; so the return type needs to be parameterized by the argument
type.
This fixes a few bugs as well:
- type parameters 'losing' their name when they go through Chalk, as mentioned
above (i.e. getting `[missing name]` somewhere)
- impl trait not being considered as implementing the super traits (very
noticeable for the `db` in RA)
- the fact that argument impl trait was only turned into variables when the
function got called caused type mismatches when the function was used as a
value (fixes a few type mismatches in RA)
The one thing I'm not so happy with here is how we're lowering `impl Trait` types to variables; since `TypeRef`s don't have an identity currently, we just count how many of them we have seen while going through the function signature. That's quite fragile though, since we have to do it while desugaring generics and while lowering the type signature, and in the exact same order in both cases. We could consider either giving only `TypeRef::ImplTrait` a local id, or maybe just giving all `TypeRef`s an identity after all (we talked about this before)...
Follow-up tasks:
- handle return position impl trait; we basically need to create a variable and some trait obligations for that variable
- rename `Param` to `Placeholder`

3047: Update async unsafe fn ordering in parser r=matklad a=kiljacken
As of rust-lang/rust#61319 the correct order for functions that are both unsafe and async is: `async unsafe fn` and not `unsafe async fn`.
This commit updates the parser tests to reflect this, and corrects parsing behavior to accept the correct ordering.
Fixes#3025

3040: Rework value parameter parsing r=matklad a=tobz1000
Fixes#2847.
- `Fn__(...)` parameters with idents/patterns no longer parse
- Trait function parameters with arbitrary patterns parse
- Trait function parameters without idents/patterns no longer parse
- `fn(...)` parameters no longer parse with patterns other than a single ident
__Question__: The pre-existing test `param_list_opt_patterns` has been kept as-is, although the name no longer makes sense (it's testing `Fn__(...)` params, which aren't allowed patterns any more). What would be best to do about this?
