//! # Type Coercion
//!
//! Under certain circumstances we will coerce from one type to another,
//! for example by auto-borrowing.  This occurs in situations where the
//! compiler has a firm 'expected type' that was supplied from the user,
//! and where the actual type is similar to that expected type in purpose
//! but not in representation (so actual subtyping is inappropriate).
//!
//! ## Reborrowing
//!
//! Note that if we are expecting a reference, we will *reborrow*
//! even if the argument provided was already a reference.  This is
//! useful for freezing mut/const things (that is, when the expected is &T
//! but you have &const T or &mut T) and also for avoiding the linearity
//! of mut things (when the expected is &mut T and you have &mut T).  See
//! the various `src/test/run-pass/coerce-reborrow-*.rs` tests for
//! examples of where this is useful.
//!
//! ## Subtle note
//!
//! When deciding what type coercions to consider, we do not attempt to
//! resolve any type variables we may encounter.  This is because `b`
//! represents the expected type "as the user wrote it", meaning that if
//! the user defined a generic function like
//!
//!    fn foo<A>(a: A, b: A) { ... }
//!
//! and then we wrote `foo(&1, @2)`, we will not auto-borrow
//! either argument.  In older code we went to some lengths to
//! resolve the `b` variable, which could mean that we'd
//! auto-borrow later arguments but not earlier ones, which
//! seems very confusing.
//!
//! ## Subtler note
//!
//! However, right now, if the user manually specifies the
//! values for the type variables, as so:
//!
//!    foo::<&int>(@1, @2)
//!
//! then we *will* auto-borrow, because we can't distinguish this from a
//! function that declared `&int`.  This is inconsistent but it's easiest
//! at the moment. The right thing to do, I think, is to consider the
//! *unsubstituted* type when deciding whether to auto-borrow, but the
//! *substituted* type when considering the bounds and so forth. But most
//! of our methods don't give access to the unsubstituted type, and
//! rightly so because they'd be error-prone.  So maybe the thing to do is
//! to actually determine the kind of coercions that should occur
//! separately and pass them in.  Or maybe it's ok as is.  Anyway, it's
//! sort of a minor point so I've opted to leave it for later---after all
//! we may want to adjust precisely when coercions occur.

            // mutability [1], since it may be that we are coercing

            // One fine point concerns the region that we use. We
            // choose the region such that the region of the final

            // want for the autoref:
            //
            // - if in sub mode, that means we want to use `'b` (the
            //   region from the target reference) for both
            //   pointers [2]. This is because sub mode (somewhat
            //   arbitrarily) returns the subtype region.  In the case
            //   where we are coercing to a target type, we know we
            //   want to use that target type region (`'b`) because --
            //   for the program to type-check -- it must be the
            //   smaller of the two.
            //   - One fine point. It may be surprising that we can
            //     use `'b` without relating `'a` and `'b`. The reason
            //     that this is ok is that what we produce is
            //     effectively a `&'b *x` expression (if you could
            //     annotate the region of a borrow), and regionck has
            //     code that adds edges from the region of a borrow
            //     (`'b`, here) into the regions in the borrowed
            //     expression (`*x`, here).  (Search for "link".)
            // - if in lub mode, things can get fairly complicated. The
            //   easiest thing is just to make a fresh
            //   region variable [4], which effectively means we defer
            //   the decision to region inference (and regionck, which will add
            //   some more edges to this variable). However, this can wind up
            //   creating a crippling number of variables in some cases --
            //   e.g. #32278 -- so we optimize one particular case [3].
            //   Let me try to explain with some examples:
            //   - The "running example" above represents the simple case,
            //     where we have one `&` reference at the outer level and
            //     ownership all the rest of the way down. In this case,
            //     we want `LUB('a, 'b)` as the resulting region.
            //   - However, if there are nested borrows, that region is
            //     too strong. Consider a coercion from `&'a &'x Rc<T>` to
            //     `&'b T`. In this case, `'a` is actually irrelevant.
            //     The pointer we want is `LUB('x, 'b`). If we choose `LUB('a,'b)`
            //     we get spurious errors (`run-pass/regions-lub-ref-ref-rc.rs`).
            //     (The errors actually show up in borrowck, typically, because
            //     this extra edge causes the region `'a` to be inferred to something
            //     too big, which then results in borrowck errors.)
            //   - We could track the innermost shared reference, but there is already
            //     code in regionck that has the job of creating links between
            //     the region of a borrow and the regions in the thing being

/// CoerceMany encapsulates the pattern you should use when you have
/// many expressions that are all getting coerced to a common
/// type. This arises, for example, when you have a match (the result
/// of each arm is coerced to a common type). It also arises in less
/// obvious places, such as when you have many `break foo` expressions
/// that target the same loop, or the various `return` expressions in
/// a function.
///
/// The basic protocol is as follows:
///
/// - Instantiate the `CoerceMany` with an initial `expected_ty`.
///   This will also serve as the "starting LUB". The expectation is
///   that this type is something which all of the expressions *must*
///   be coercible to. Use a fresh type variable if needed.
/// - For each expression whose result is to be coerced, invoke `coerce()` with.
///   - In some cases we wish to coerce "non-expressions" whose types are implicitly
///     unit. This happens for example if you have a `break` with no expression,
///     or an `if` with no `else`. In that case, invoke `coerce_forced_unit()`.
///   - `coerce()` and `coerce_forced_unit()` may report errors. They hide this
///     from you so that you don't have to worry your pretty head about it.
///     But if an error is reported, the final type will be `err`.
///   - Invoking `coerce()` may cause us to go and adjust the "adjustments" on
///     previously coerced expressions.
/// - When all done, invoke `complete()`. This will return the LUB of
///   all your expressions.
///   - WARNING: I don't believe this final type is guaranteed to be
///     related to your initial `expected_ty` in any particular way,
///     although it will typically be a subtype, so you should check it.
///   - Invoking `complete()` may cause us to go and adjust the "adjustments" on
///     previously coerced expressions.
///
/// Example:
///
/// ```
/// let mut coerce = CoerceMany::new(expected_ty);
/// for expr in exprs {
///     let expr_ty = fcx.check_expr_with_expectation(expr, expected);
///     coerce.coerce(fcx, &cause, expr, expr_ty);
/// }
/// let final_ty = coerce.complete(fcx);
