match lowering: make false edges more precise When lowering match expressions, we add false edges to hide details of the lowering from borrowck. Morally we pretend we're testing the patterns (and guards) one after the other in order. See the tests for examples. Problem is, the way we implement this today is too coarse for deref patterns. In deref patterns, a pattern like `deref [1, x]` matches on a `Vec` by creating a temporary to store the output of the call to `deref()` and then uses that to continue matching. Here the pattern has a binding, which we set up after the pre-binding block. Problem is, currently the false edges tell borrowck that the pre-binding block can be reached from a previous arm as well, so the `deref()` temporary may not be initialized. This triggers an error when we try to use the binding `x`. We could call `deref()` a second time, but this opens the door to soundness issues if the deref impl is weird. Instead in this PR I rework false edges a little bit. What we need from false edges is a (fake) path from each candidate to the next, specifically from candidate C's pre-binding block to next candidate D's pre-binding block. Today, we link the pre-binding blocks directly. In this PR, I link them indirectly by choosing an earlier node on D's success path. Specifically, I choose the earliest block on D's success path that doesn't make a loop (if I chose e.g. the start block of the whole match (which is on the success path of all candidates), that would make a loop). This turns out to be rather straightforward to implement. r? `@matthewjasper` if you have the bandwidth, otherwise let me know
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
