Always create elided lifetime parameters for functions #97720

cjgillot · 2022-06-03T23:36:04Z

Anonymous and elided lifetimes in functions are sometimes (async fns) --and sometimes not (regular fns)-- desugared to implicit generic parameters.

This difference of treatment makes it some downstream analyses more complicated to handle. This step is a pre-requisite to perform lifetime elision resolution on AST.

There is currently an inconsistency in the treatment of argument-position impl-trait for functions and async fns:

trait Foo<'a> {}
fn foo(t: impl Foo<'_>) {} //~ ERROR missing lifetime specifier
async fn async_foo(t: impl Foo<'_>) {} //~ OK
fn bar(t: impl Iterator<Item = &'_ u8>) {} //~ ERROR missing lifetime specifier
async fn async_bar(t: impl Iterator<Item = &'_ u8>) {} //~ OK

The current implementation reports "missing lifetime specifier" on foo, but accepts it in async_foo.
This PR proposes to accept the anonymous lifetime in both cases as an extra generic lifetime parameter.
This change would be insta-stable, so let's ping t-lang.
Anonymous lifetimes in GAT bindings keep being forbidden:

fn foo(t: impl Foo<Assoc<'_> = Bar<'_>>) {}
                         ^^        ^^
                       forbidden   ok

I started a discussion here: https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/213817-t-lang/topic/Anonymous.20lifetimes.20in.20universal.20impl-trait/near/284968606

@rust-lang/lang

This PR proposes to accept having anonymous lifetimes inside argument-position impl-trait, and to treat them as an extra generic lifetime parameter on the function.

There is currently an inconsistency in the treatment of argument-position impl-trait for functions and async fns:

trait Foo<'a> {}
fn foo(t: impl Foo<'_>) {} //~ ERROR missing lifetime specifier
async fn async_foo(t: impl Foo<'_>) {} //~ OK (since 1.39.0)

The semantics would be:

fn foo<'1, _T>(t: _T) where _T: Foo<'1> {}

Anonymous lifetimes in GAT bindings keep being forbidden:

fn foo(t: impl Foo<Assoc<'_> = Bar<'_>>) {}
                         ^^        ^^
                         ERROR     OK

I started a discussion here: https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/213817-t-lang/topic/Anonymous.20lifetimes.20in.20universal.20impl-trait/near/284968606
where I expose what I understood of the anonymous lifetime resolution algorithm.

I've added an example with '_ in associated item constraints to the PR description, otherwise it wasn't clear whether it was accepted previously or not.

…henkov Resolve function lifetime elision on the AST ~Based on rust-lang#97720 Lifetime elision for functions is purely syntactic in nature, so can be resolved on the AST. This PR replicates the elision logic and diagnostics on the AST, and replaces HIR-based resolution by a `delay_span_bug`. This refactor allows for more consistent diagnostics, which don't have to guess the original code from HIR. r? `@petrochenkov`
