13 typeck.rs, an introduction
15 The type checker is responsible for:
17 1. Determining the type of each expression
18 2. Resolving methods and traits
19 3. Guaranteeing that most type rules are met ("most?", you say, "why most?"
20 Well, dear reader, read on)
22 The main entry point is `check_crate()`. Type checking operates in
25 1. The collect phase first passes over all items and determines their
26 type, without examining their "innards".
28 2. Variance inference then runs to compute the variance of each parameter
30 3. Coherence checks for overlapping or orphaned impls
32 4. Finally, the check phase then checks function bodies and so forth.
33 Within the check phase, we check each function body one at a time
34 (bodies of function expressions are checked as part of the
35 containing function). Inference is used to supply types wherever
36 they are unknown. The actual checking of a function itself has
37 several phases (check, regionck, writeback), as discussed in the
38 documentation for the `check` module.
40 The type checker is defined into various submodules which are documented
43 - astconv: converts the AST representation of types
44 into the `ty` representation
46 - collect: computes the types of each top-level item and enters them into
47 the `tcx.types` table for later use
49 - coherence: enforces coherence rules, builds some tables
51 - variance: variance inference
53 - outlives: outlives inference
55 - check: walks over function bodies and type checks them, inferring types for
56 local variables, type parameters, etc as necessary.
58 - infer: finds the types to use for each type variable such that
59 all subtyping and assignment constraints are met. In essence, the check
60 module specifies the constraints, and the infer module solves them.
64 This API is completely unstable and subject to change.
