Stop using `ty::GenericPredicates` for non-predicates_of queries
`GenericPredicates` is a struct of several parts: A list of of an item's own predicates, and a parent def id (and some effects related stuff, but ignore that since it's kinda irrelevant). When instantiating these generic predicates, it calls `predicates_of` on the parent and instantiates its predicates, and appends the item's own instantiated predicates too:
acb4e8b625/compiler/rustc_middle/src/ty/generics.rs (L407-L413)
Notice how this should result in a recursive set of calls to `predicates_of`... However, `GenericPredicates` is *also* misused by a bunch of *other* queries as a convenient way of passing around a list of predicates. For these queries, we don't ever set the parent def id of the `GenericPredicates`, but if we did, then this would be very easy to mistakenly call `predicates_of` instead of some other intended parent query.
Given that footgun, and the fact that we don't ever even *use* the parent def id in the `GenericPredicates` returned from queries like `explicit_super_predicates_of`, It really has no benefit over just returning `&'tcx [(Clause<'tcx>, Span)]`.
This PR additionally opts to wrap the results of `EarlyBinder`, as we've tended to use that in the return type of these kinds of queries to properly convey that the user has params to deal with, and it also gives a convenient way of iterating over a slice of things after instantiating.
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).
