This first patch starts by moving around pieces of state related to
type checking. The goal is to slowly unify the type checking state
into a single typing context. This initial patch moves the
ParameterEnvironment into the InferCtxt and moves shared tables
from Inherited and ty::ctxt into their own struct Tables. This
is the foundational work to refactoring the type checker to
enable future evolution of the language and tooling.
again, do it once and then just remember the expanded form. At the same
time, filter globally nameable predicates out of the environment, since
they can cause cache errors (and they are not necessary in any case).
that are known to have been satisfied *somewhere*. This means that if
one fn finds that `SomeType: Foo`, then every other fn can just consider
that to hold.
Unfortunately, there are some complications:
1. If `SomeType: Foo` includes dependent conditions, those conditions
may trigger an error. This error will be repored in the first fn
where `SomeType: Foo` is evaluated, but not in the other fns, which
can lead to uneven error reporting (which is sometimes confusing).
2. This kind of caching can be unsound in the presence of
unsatisfiable where clauses. For example, suppose that the first fn
has a where-clause like `i32: Bar<u32>`, which in fact does not
hold. This will "fool" trait resolution into thinking that `i32:
Bar<u32>` holds. This is ok currently, because it means that the
first fn can never be calle (since its where clauses cannot be
satisfied), but if the first fn's successful resolution is cached, it
can allow other fns to compile that should not. This problem is fixed
in the next commit.
table, introduce a `FreeRegionMap` data structure. regionck computes the
`FreeRegionMap` for each fn and stores the result into the tcx so that
borrowck can use it (this could perhaps be refactored to have borrowck
recompute the map, but it's a bid tedious to recompute due to the
interaction of closures and free fns). The main reason to do this is
because of #22779 -- using a global table was incorrect because when
validating impl method signatures, we want to use the free region
relationships from the *trait*, not the impl.
Fixes#22779.
When testing whether a default method predicates are satisfiable,
combine normalization with this check so that we also skip the
default method if normalization fails. Fixes#23485.

This is super black magic internals at the moment, but having it
somewhere semi-public seems good. The current versions weren't being
rendered, and they'll be useful for some people.
Fixes#21281

When projecting associate types for a trait's default methods, the
trait itself was added to the predicate candidate list twice: one from
parameter environment, the other from trait definition. Then the
duplicates were deemed as code ambiguity and the compiler rejected the
code. Simply checking and dropping the duplicates solves the issue.
Closes#22036

Refactor compare_impl_method into its own file. Modify the
code to stop comparing individual parameter bounds.
Instead we now use the predicates list attached to the trait
and implementation generics. This ensures consistency even
when bounds are declared in different places (i.e on
a parameter vs. in a where clause).
fmt::Show is for debugging, and can and should be implemented for
all public types. This trait is used with `{:?}` syntax. There still
exists #[derive(Show)].
fmt::String is for types that faithfully be represented as a String.
Because of this, there is no way to derive fmt::String, all
implementations must be purposeful. It is used by the default format
syntax, `{}`.
This will break most instances of `{}`, since that now requires the type
to impl fmt::String. In most cases, replacing `{}` with `{:?}` is the
correct fix. Types that were being printed specifically for users should
receive a fmt::String implementation to fix this.

which should always result in an error.
NB. Some of the hunks in this commit rely on a later commit which adds
`tcx` into `param_env` and modifies `ParameterEnvironment` to
implement `Typer`.
