This is only allowed for generic parameters (including `Self` in traits), and special care needs to be taken to not run into cycles while resolving it, because we use the where clauses of the generic parameter to find candidates for the trait containing the associated type, but the where clauses may themselves contain instances of short-hand associated types. In some cases this is even fine, e.g. we might have `T: Trait<U::Item>, U: Iterator`. If there is a cycle, we'll currently panic, which isn't great, but better than overflowing the stack...
Rust Analyzer
Rust Analyzer is an experimental modular compiler frontend for the Rust language. It is a part of a larger rls-2.0 effort to create excellent IDE support for Rust. If you want to get involved, check the rls-2.0 working group in the compiler-team repository:
https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/tree/master/content/working-groups/rls-2.0
Work on the Rust Analyzer is sponsored by
Language Server Quick Start
Rust Analyzer is a work-in-progress, so you'll have to build it from source, and you might encounter critical bugs. That said, it is complete enough to provide a useful IDE experience and some people use it as a daily driver.
To build rust-analyzer, you need:
- latest stable rust for language server itself
- latest stable npm and VS Code for VS Code extension
To quickly install rust-analyzer with VS Code extension with standard setup
(code and cargo in $PATH, etc), use this:
# clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer && cd rust-analyzer
# install both the language server and VS Code extension
$ cargo install-ra
# alternatively, install only the server. Binary name is `ra_lsp_server`.
$ cargo install-ra --server
For non-standard setup of VS Code and other editors, see ./docs/user.
Documentation
If you want to contribute to rust-analyzer or just curious about how things work under the hood, check the ./docs/dev folder.
If you want to use rust-analyzer's language server with your editor of choice, check ./docs/user folder. It also contains some tips & tricks to help you be more productive when using rust-analyzer.
