# check.rs

Within the check phase of type check, we check each item one at a time
(bodies of function expressions are checked as part of the containing
function).  Inference is used to supply types wherever they are
unknown.

By far the most complex case is checking the body of a function. This
can be broken down into several distinct phases:

- gather: creates type variables to represent the type of each local
  variable and pattern binding.

- main: the main pass does the lion's share of the work: it
  determines the types of all expressions, resolves
  methods, checks for most invalid conditions, and so forth.  In
  some cases, where a type is unknown, it may create a type or region
  variable and use that as the type of an expression.

  In the process of checking, various constraints will be placed on
  these type variables through the subtyping relationships requested
  through the `demand` module.  The `typeck::infer` module is in charge
  of resolving those constraints.

- regionck: after main is complete, the regionck pass goes over all
  types looking for regions and making sure that they did not escape
  into places they are not in scope.  This may also influence the
  final assignments of the various region variables if there is some
  flexibility.

- vtable: find and records the impls to use for each trait bound that
  appears on a type parameter.

- writeback: writes the final types within a function body, replacing
  type variables with their final inferred types.  These final types
  are written into the `tcx.node_types` table, which should *never* contain
  any reference to a type variable.

## Intermediate types

While type checking a function, the intermediate types for the
expressions, blocks, and so forth contained within the function are
stored in `fcx.node_types` and `fcx.item_substs`.  These types
may contain unresolved type variables.  After type checking is
complete, the functions in the writeback module are used to take the
types from this table, resolve them, and then write them into their
permanent home in the type context `ccx.tcx`.

This means that during inferencing you should use `fcx.write_ty()`
and `fcx.expr_ty()` / `fcx.node_ty()` to write/obtain the types of
nodes within the function.

The types of top-level items, which never contain unbound type
variables, are stored directly into the `tcx` tables.

n.b.: A type variable is not the same thing as a type parameter.  A
type variable is rather an "instance" of a type parameter: that is,
given a generic function `fn foo<T>(t: T)`: while checking the
function `foo`, the type `ty_param(0)` refers to the type `T`, which
is treated in abstract.  When `foo()` is called, however, `T` will be
substituted for a fresh type variable `N`.  This variable will
eventually be resolved to some concrete type (which might itself be
type parameter).

    //     }
    //
    // And an impl:
    //
    //     impl<'i, U> Trait<&'i U> for Foo {
    //          fn method<'b,N>(t: &'i U, m: &'b N) -> Foo;
    //     }
    //
    // We wish to decide if those two method types are compatible.
    //
    // We start out with trait_to_impl_substs, that maps the trait type
    // parameters to impl type parameters:
    //
    //     trait_to_impl_substs = {T => &'i U, Self => Foo}
    //
    // We create a mapping `dummy_substs` that maps from the impl type
    // parameters to fresh types and regions. For type parameters,
    // this is the identity transform, but we could as well use any
    // skolemized types. For regions, we convert from bound to free
    // regions (Note: but only early-bound regions, i.e., those
    // declared on the impl or used in type parameter bounds).
    //
    //     impl_to_skol_substs = {'i => 'i0, U => U0, N => N0 }
    //
    // Now we can apply skol_substs to the type of the impl method
    // to yield a new function type in terms of our fresh, skolemized
    // types:
    //
    //     <'b> fn(t: &'i0 U0, m: &'b) -> Foo
    //
    // We now want to extract and substitute the type of the *trait*
    // method and compare it. To do so, we must create a compound
    // substitution by combining trait_to_impl_substs and
    // impl_to_skol_substs, and also adding a mapping for the method
    // type parameters. We extend the mapping to also include
    // the method parameters.
    //
    //     trait_to_skol_substs = { T => &'i0 U0, Self => Foo, M => N0 }
    //
    // Applying this to the trait method type yields:
    //
    //     <'a> fn(t: &'i0 U0, m: &'a) -> Foo
    //
    // This type is also the same but the name of the bound region ('a
    // vs 'b).  However, the normal subtyping rules on fn types handle
    // this kind of equivalency just fine.

    // Luckily, we can (at least for now) deduce the intermediate steps
    // just from the end-point.
    //

    //
    // 1. Reference to a *type*, such as a struct or enum:
    //
    //        mod a { struct Foo<T> { ... } }
    //
    //    Because we don't allow types to be declared within one
    //    another, a path that leads to a type will always look like
    //    `a::b::Foo<T>` where `a` and `b` are modules. This implies
    //    that only the final segment can have type parameters, and
    //    they are located in the TypeSpace.
    //
    //    *Note:* Generally speaking, references to types don't
    //    actually pass through this function, but rather the
    //    `ast_ty_to_ty` function in `astconv`. However, in the case
    //    of struct patterns (and maybe literals) we do invoke
    //    `instantiate_path` to get the general type of an instance of
    //    a struct. (In these cases, there are actually no type
    //    parameters permitted at present, but perhaps we will allow
    //    them in the future.)
    //
    // 1b. Reference to a enum variant or tuple-like struct:
    //
    //        struct foo<T>(...)
    //        enum E<T> { foo(...) }
    //
    //    In these cases, the parameters are declared in the type
    //    space.
    //
    // 2. Reference to a *fn item*:
    //
    //        fn foo<T>() { }
    //
    //    In this case, the path will again always have the form
    //    `a::b::foo::<T>` where only the final segment should have
    //    type parameters. However, in this case, those parameters are
    //    declared on a value, and hence are in the `FnSpace`.
    //
    // 3. Reference to a *method*:
    //
    //        impl<A> SomeStruct<A> {
    //            fn foo<B>(...)
    //        }
    //
    //    Here we can have a path like
    //    `a::b::SomeStruct::<A>::foo::<B>`, in which case parameters
    //    may appear in two places. The penultimate segment,
    //    `SomeStruct::<A>`, contains parameters in TypeSpace, and the
    //    final segment, `foo::<B>` contains parameters in fn space.
