Description
instantiate_poly_trait_ref_inner
has a speculative
parameter:
speculative: bool, |
This parameter is used to suppress several errors downstream, and has only one usage:
rust/compiler/rustc_hir_analysis/src/lib.rs
Line 285 in f525bb4
true, |
... which is inside of hir_trait_to_predicates
, which itself has only one usage:
rust/compiler/rustc_privacy/src/lib.rs
Lines 1215 to 1222 in f525bb4
// The traits' privacy in bodies is already checked as a part of trait object types. | |
let bounds = rustc_hir_analysis::hir_trait_to_predicates( | |
self.tcx, | |
trait_ref, | |
// NOTE: This isn't really right, but the actual type doesn't matter here. It's | |
// just required by `ty::TraitRef`. | |
self.tcx.types.never, | |
); |
The reason why speculative = true
at this call-site is because we're passing the wrong self type when instantiating the trait ref:
rust/compiler/rustc_privacy/src/lib.rs
Lines 1219 to 1221 in f525bb4
// NOTE: This isn't really right, but the actual type doesn't matter here. It's | |
// just required by `ty::TraitRef`. | |
self.tcx.types.never, |
If we were able to pass the correct self type here, then we can totally remove the speculative
parameter. I think that would be a nice clean-up if possible.
