internal: Re-use the resolver in `InferenceContext` instead of rebuilding it whenever needed
This reduced inference time on my local build by roughly ~1 sec (out of like 60)
Handle trait alias definitions
Part of #2773
This PR adds a bunch of structs and enum variants for trait aliases. Trait aliases should be handled as an independent item because they are semantically distinct from traits.
I basically started by adding `TraitAlias{Id, Loc}` to `hir_def::item_tree` and iterated adding necessary stuffs until compiler stopped complaining what's missing. Let me know if there's still anything I need to add.
I'm opening up this PR for early review and stuff. I'm planning to add tests for IDE functionalities in this PR, but not type-related support, for which I put FIXME notes.
Beginning of MIR
This pull request introduces the initial implementation of MIR lowering and interpreting in Rust Analyzer.
The implementation of MIR has potential to bring several benefits:
- Executing a unit test without compiling it: This is my main goal. It can be useful for quickly testing code changes and print-debugging unit tests without the need for a full compilation (ideally in almost zero time, similar to languages like python and js). There is a probability that it goes nowhere, it might become slower than rustc, or it might need some unreasonable amount of memory, or we may fail to support a common pattern/function that make it unusable for most of the codes.
- Constant evaluation: MIR allows for easier and more correct constant evaluation, on par with rustc. If r-a wants to fully support the type system, it needs full const eval, which means arbitrary code execution, which needs MIR or something similar.
- Supporting more diagnostics: MIR can be used to detect errors, most famously borrow checker and lifetime errors, but also mutability errors and uninitialized variables, which can be difficult/impossible to detect in HIR.
- Lowering closures: With MIR we can find out closure capture modes, which is useful in detecting if a closure implements the `FnMut` or `Fn` traits, and calculating its size and data layout.
But the current PR implements no diagnostics and doesn't support closures. About const eval, I removed the old const eval code and it now uses the mir interpreter. Everything that is supported in stable rustc is either implemented or is super easy to implement. About interpreting unit tests, I added an experimental config, disabled by default, that shows a `pass` or `fail` on hover of unit tests (ideally it should be a button similar to `Run test` button, but I didn't figured out how to add them). Currently, no real world test works, due to missing features including closures, heap allocation, `dyn Trait` and ... so at this point it is only useful for me selecting what to implement next.
The implementation of MIR is based on the design of rustc, the data structures are almost copy paste (so it should be easy to migrate it to a possible future stable-mir), but the lowering and interpreting code is from me.
Support generic function in `generate_function` assist
Part of #3639
This PR adds support for generic function generation in `generate_function` assist. Now the assist looks for generic parameters and trait bounds in scope, filters out irrelevant ones, and generates new function with them.
See `fn_generic_params()` for the outline of the procedure, and see comments on `filter_unnecessary_bounds()` for criteria for filtering. I think it's good criteria for most cases, but I'm open to opinions and suggestions.
The diff is pretty big, but it should run in linear time w.r.t. the number of nodes we operate on and should be fast enough.
Some notes:
- When we generate function in an existing impl, generic parameters may cause name conflict. While we can detect the conflict and rename conflicting params, I didn't find it worthwhile mainly because it's really easy to resolve on IDE: use Rename functionality.
- I've implemented graph structure myself, because we don't have graph library as a dependency and we only need the simplest one.
- Although `petgraph` is in our dependency graph and I was initially looking to use it, we don't actually depend on it AFAICT since it's only used in chalk's specialization graph handling, which we don't use. I'd be happy to replace my implementation with `petgraph` if it's okay to use it though.
- There are some caveats that I consider out of scope of this PR. See FIXME notes on added tests.
