//! The region check is a final pass that runs over the AST after we have
//! inferred the type constraints but before we have actually finalized
//! the types.  Its purpose is to embed a variety of region constraints.
//! Inserting these constraints as a separate pass is good because (1) it
//! localizes the code that has to do with region inference and (2) often
//! we cannot know what constraints are needed until the basic types have
//! been inferred.
//!
//! ### Interaction with the borrow checker
//!
//! In general, the job of the borrowck module (which runs later) is to
//! check that all soundness criteria are met, given a particular set of
//! regions. The job of *this* module is to anticipate the needs of the
//! borrow checker and infer regions that will satisfy its requirements.
//! It is generally true that the inference doesn't need to be sound,
//! meaning that if there is a bug and we inferred bad regions, the borrow
//! checker should catch it. This is not entirely true though; for
//! example, the borrow checker doesn't check subtyping, and it doesn't
//! check that region pointers are always live when they are used. It
//! might be worthwhile to fix this so that borrowck serves as a kind of
//! verification step -- that would add confidence in the overall
//! correctness of the compiler, at the cost of duplicating some type
//! checks and effort.
//!
//! ### Inferring the duration of borrows, automatic and otherwise
//!
//! Whenever we introduce a borrowed pointer, for example as the result of
//! a borrow expression `let x = &data`, the lifetime of the pointer `x`
//! is always specified as a region inference variable. `regionck` has the
//! job of adding constraints such that this inference variable is as
//! narrow as possible while still accommodating all uses (that is, every
//! dereference of the resulting pointer must be within the lifetime).
//!
//! #### Reborrows
//!
//! Generally speaking, `regionck` does NOT try to ensure that the data
//! `data` will outlive the pointer `x`. That is the job of borrowck.  The
//! one exception is when "re-borrowing" the contents of another borrowed
//! pointer. For example, imagine you have a borrowed pointer `b` with
//! lifetime L1 and you have an expression `&*b`. The result of this
//! expression will be another borrowed pointer with lifetime L2 (which is
//! an inference variable). The borrow checker is going to enforce the
//! constraint that L2 < L1, because otherwise you are re-borrowing data
//! for a lifetime larger than the original loan.  However, without the
//! routines in this module, the region inferencer would not know of this
//! dependency and thus it might infer the lifetime of L2 to be greater
//! than L1 (issue #3148).
//!
//! There are a number of troublesome scenarios in the tests
//! `region-dependent-*.rs`, but here is one example:
//!
//!     struct Foo { i: i32 }
//!     struct Bar { foo: Foo  }
//!     fn get_i<'a>(x: &'a Bar) -> &'a i32 {
//!        let foo = &x.foo; // Lifetime L1
//!        &foo.i            // Lifetime L2
//!     }
//!
//! Note that this comes up either with `&` expressions, `ref`
//! bindings, and `autorefs`, which are the three ways to introduce
//! a borrow.
//!
//! The key point here is that when you are borrowing a value that
//! is "guaranteed" by a borrowed pointer, you must link the
//! lifetime of that borrowed pointer (L1, here) to the lifetime of
//! the borrow itself (L2).  What do I mean by "guaranteed" by a
//! borrowed pointer? I mean any data that is reached by first
//! dereferencing a borrowed pointer and then either traversing
//! interior offsets or boxes.  We say that the guarantor
//! of such data is the region of the borrowed pointer that was
//! traversed.  This is essentially the same as the ownership
//! relation, except that a borrowed pointer never owns its
//! contents.

    ///    "reborrowed" is itself an upvar. This provides a nicer error message
    ///    should something go wrong.

    /// 2. There may in fact be more levels of reborrowing. In the
    ///    example, I said the borrow was like `&'z *r`, but it might
    ///    in fact be a borrow like `&'z **q` where `q` has type `&'a
    ///    &'b mut T`. In that case, we want to ensure that `'z <= 'a`
