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