//! This file infers the variance of type and lifetime parameters. The
//! algorithm is taken from Section 4 of the paper "Taming the Wildcards:
//! Combining Definition- and Use-Site Variance" published in PLDI'11 and
//! written by Altidor et al., and hereafter referred to as The Paper.
//!
//! This inference is explicitly designed *not* to consider the uses of
//! types within code. To determine the variance of type parameters
//! defined on type `X`, we only consider the definition of the type `X`
//! and the definitions of any types it references.
//!
//! We only infer variance for type parameters found on *data types*
//! like structs and enums. In these cases, there is fairly straightforward
//! explanation for what variance means. The variance of the type
//! or lifetime parameters defines whether `T<A>` is a subtype of `T<B>`
//! (resp. `T<'a>` and `T<'b>`) based on the relationship of `A` and `B`
//! (resp. `'a` and `'b`).
//!
//! We do not infer variance for type parameters found on traits, fns,
//! or impls. Variance on trait parameters can make indeed make sense
//! (and we used to compute it) but it is actually rather subtle in
//! meaning and not that useful in practice, so we removed it. See the
//! addendum for some details. Variances on fn/impl parameters, otoh,
//! doesn't make sense because these parameters are instantiated and
//! then forgotten, they don't persist in types or compiled
//! byproducts.
//!
//! ### The algorithm
//!
//! The basic idea is quite straightforward. We iterate over the types
//! defined and, for each use of a type parameter X, accumulate a
//! constraint indicating that the variance of X must be valid for the
//! variance of that use site. We then iteratively refine the variance of
//! X until all constraints are met. There is *always* a sol'n, because at
//! the limit we can declare all type parameters to be invariant and all
//! constraints will be satisfied.
//!
//! As a simple example, consider:
//!
//! enum Option<A> { Some(A), None }
//! enum OptionalFn<B> { Some(|B|), None }
//! enum OptionalMap<C> { Some(|C| -> C), None }
//!
//! Here, we will generate the constraints:
//!
//! 1. V(A) <= +
//! 2. V(B) <= -
//! 3. V(C) <= +
//! 4. V(C) <= -
//!
//! These indicate that (1) the variance of A must be at most covariant;
//! (2) the variance of B must be at most contravariant; and (3, 4) the
//! variance of C must be at most covariant *and* contravariant. All of these
//! results are based on a variance lattice defined as follows:
//!
//! * Top (bivariant)
//! - +
//! o Bottom (invariant)
//!
//! Based on this lattice, the solution V(A)=+, V(B)=-, V(C)=o is the
//! optimal solution. Note that there is always a naive solution which
//! just declares all variables to be invariant.
//!
//! You may be wondering why fixed-point iteration is required. The reason
//! is that the variance of a use site may itself be a function of the
//! variance of other type parameters. In full generality, our constraints
//! take the form:
//!
//! V(X) <= Term
//! Term := + | - | * | o | V(X) | Term x Term
//!
//! Here the notation V(X) indicates the variance of a type/region
//! parameter `X` with respect to its defining class. `Term x Term`
//! represents the "variance transform" as defined in the paper:
//!
//! If the variance of a type variable `X` in type expression `E` is `V2`
//! and the definition-site variance of the [corresponding] type parameter
//! of a class `C` is `V1`, then the variance of `X` in the type expression
//! `C<E>` is `V3 = V1.xform(V2)`.
//!
//! ### Constraints
//!
//! If I have a struct or enum with where clauses:
//!
//! struct Foo<T:Bar> { ... }
//!
//! you might wonder whether the variance of `T` with respect to `Bar`
//! affects the variance `T` with respect to `Foo`. I claim no. The
//! reason: assume that `T` is invariant w/r/t `Bar` but covariant w/r/t
//! `Foo`. And then we have a `Foo<X>` that is upcast to `Foo<Y>`, where
//! `X <: Y`. However, while `X : Bar`, `Y : Bar` does not hold. In that
//! case, the upcast will be illegal, but not because of a variance
//! failure, but rather because the target type `Foo<Y>` is itself just
//! not well-formed. Basically we get to assume well-formedness of all
//! types involved before considering variance.
//!
//! ### Addendum: Variance on traits
//!
//! As mentioned above, we used to permit variance on traits. This was
//! computed based on the appearance of trait type parameters in
//! method signatures and was used to represent the compatibility of
//! vtables in trait objects (and also "virtual" vtables or dictionary
//! in trait bounds). One complication was that variance for
//! associated types is less obvious, since they can be projected out
//! and put to myriad uses, so it's not clear when it is safe to allow
//! `X<A>::Bar` to vary (or indeed just what that means). Moreover (as
//! covered below) all inputs on any trait with an associated type had
//! to be invariant, limiting the applicability. Finally, the
//! annotations (`MarkerTrait`, `PhantomFn`) needed to ensure that all
//! trait type parameters had a variance were confusing and annoying
//! for little benefit.
//!
//! Just for historical reference,I am going to preserve some text indicating
//! how one could interpret variance and trait matching.
//!
//! #### Variance and object types
//!
//! Just as with structs and enums, we can decide the subtyping
//! relationship between two object types `&Trait<A>` and `&Trait<B>`
//! based on the relationship of `A` and `B`. Note that for object
//! types we ignore the `Self` type parameter -- it is unknown, and
//! the nature of dynamic dispatch ensures that we will always call a
//! function that is expected the appropriate `Self` type. However, we
//! must be careful with the other type parameters, or else we could
//! end up calling a function that is expecting one type but provided
//! another.
//!
//! To see what I mean, consider a trait like so:
//!
//! trait ConvertTo<A> {
//! fn convertTo(&self) -> A;
//! }
//!
//! Intuitively, If we had one object `O=&ConvertTo<Object>` and another
//! `S=&ConvertTo<String>`, then `S <: O` because `String <: Object`
//! (presuming Java-like "string" and "object" types, my go to examples
//! for subtyping). The actual algorithm would be to compare the
//! (explicit) type parameters pairwise respecting their variance: here,
//! the type parameter A is covariant (it appears only in a return
//! position), and hence we require that `String <: Object`.
//!
//! You'll note though that we did not consider the binding for the
//! (implicit) `Self` type parameter: in fact, it is unknown, so that's
//! good. The reason we can ignore that parameter is precisely because we
//! don't need to know its value until a call occurs, and at that time (as
//! you said) the dynamic nature of virtual dispatch means the code we run
//! will be correct for whatever value `Self` happens to be bound to for
//! the particular object whose method we called. `Self` is thus different
//! from `A`, because the caller requires that `A` be known in order to
//! know the return type of the method `convertTo()`. (As an aside, we
//! have rules preventing methods where `Self` appears outside of the
//! receiver position from being called via an object.)
//!
//! #### Trait variance and vtable resolution
//!
//! But traits aren't only used with objects. They're also used when
//! deciding whether a given impl satisfies a given trait bound. To set the
//! scene here, imagine I had a function:
//!
//! fn convertAll<A,T:ConvertTo<A>>(v: &[T]) {
//! ...
//! }
//!
//! Now imagine that I have an implementation of `ConvertTo` for `Object`:
//!
//! impl ConvertTo<i32> for Object { ... }
//!
//! And I want to call `convertAll` on an array of strings. Suppose
//! further that for whatever reason I specifically supply the value of
//! `String` for the type parameter `T`:
//!
//! let mut vector = vec!["string", ...];
//! convertAll::<i32, String>(vector);
//!
//! Is this legal? To put another way, can we apply the `impl` for
//! `Object` to the type `String`? The answer is yes, but to see why
//! we have to expand out what will happen:
//!
//! - `convertAll` will create a pointer to one of the entries in the
//! vector, which will have type `&String`
//! - It will then call the impl of `convertTo()` that is intended
//! for use with objects. This has the type:
//!
//! fn(self: &Object) -> i32
//!
//! It is ok to provide a value for `self` of type `&String` because
//! `&String <: &Object`.
//!
//! OK, so intuitively we want this to be legal, so let's bring this back
//! to variance and see whether we are computing the correct result. We
//! must first figure out how to phrase the question "is an impl for
//! `Object,i32` usable where an impl for `String,i32` is expected?"
//!
//! Maybe it's helpful to think of a dictionary-passing implementation of
//! type classes. In that case, `convertAll()` takes an implicit parameter
//! representing the impl. In short, we *have* an impl of type:
//!
//! V_O = ConvertTo<i32> for Object
//!
//! and the function prototype expects an impl of type:
//!
//! V_S = ConvertTo<i32> for String
//!
//! As with any argument, this is legal if the type of the value given
//! (`V_O`) is a subtype of the type expected (`V_S`). So is `V_O <: V_S`?
//! The answer will depend on the variance of the various parameters. In
//! this case, because the `Self` parameter is contravariant and `A` is
//! covariant, it means that:
//!
//! V_O <: V_S iff
//! i32 <: i32
//! String <: Object
//!
//! These conditions are satisfied and so we are happy.
//!
//! #### Variance and associated types
//!
//! Traits with associated types -- or at minimum projection
//! expressions -- must be invariant with respect to all of their
//! inputs. To see why this makes sense, consider what subtyping for a
//! trait reference means:
//!
//! <T as Trait> <: <U as Trait>
//!
//! means that if I know that `T as Trait`, I also know that `U as
//! Trait`. Moreover, if you think of it as dictionary passing style,
//! it means that a dictionary for `<T as Trait>` is safe to use where
//! a dictionary for `<U as Trait>` is expected.
//!
//! The problem is that when you can project types out from `<T as
//! Trait>`, the relationship to types projected out of `<U as Trait>`
//! is completely unknown unless `T==U` (see #21726 for more
//! details). Making `Trait` invariant ensures that this is true.
//!
//! Another related reason is that if we didn't make traits with
//! associated types invariant, then projection is no longer a
//! function with a single result. Consider:
//!
//! ```
//! trait Identity { type Out; fn foo(&self); }
//! impl<T> Identity for T { type Out = T; ... }
//! ```
//!
//! Now if I have `<&'static () as Identity>::Out`, this can be
//! validly derived as `&'a ()` for any `'a`:
//!
//! <&'a () as Identity> <: <&'static () as Identity>
//! if &'static () < : &'a () -- Identity is contravariant in Self
//! if 'static : 'a -- Subtyping rules for relations
//!
//! This change otoh means that `<'static () as Identity>::Out` is
//! always `&'static ()` (which might then be upcast to `'a ()`,
//! separately). This was helpful in solving #21750.
