Test cases intended to document behavior and try to exhaustively explore the combinations.
These tests are not yet considered 100% normative, in that some aspects of the current behavior are not desirable. This is expressed in the “confidence” field in the following table. Values:
| Confidence | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 100% | this will remain recommended behavior |
| 75% | unclear whether we will continue to accept this |
| 50% | this will likely be deprecated but remain valid |
| 25% | this could change in the future |
| 0% | this is definitely bogus and will likely change in the future in some way |
| Test file | Self type | Pattern | Current elision behavior | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
self.rs | Struct | Self | ignore self parameter | 100% |
struct.rs | Struct | Struct | ignore self parameter | 100% |
alias.rs | Struct | Alias | ignore self parameter | 100% |
ref-self.rs | Struct | &Self | take lifetime from &Self | 100% |
ref-mut-self.rs | Struct | &mut Self | take lifetime from &mut Self | 100% |
ref-struct.rs | Struct | &Struct | take lifetime from &Self | 50% |
ref-mut-struct.rs | Struct | &mut Struct | take lifetime from &mut Self | 50% |
ref-alias.rs | Struct | &Alias | ignore Alias | 0% |
ref-mut-alias.rs | Struct | &mut Alias | ignore Alias | 0% |
lt-self.rs | Struct<'a> | Self | ignore Self (and hence 'a) | 25% |
lt-struct.rs | Struct<'a> | Self | ignore Self (and hence 'a) | 0% |
lt-alias.rs | Alias<'a> | Self | ignore Self (and hence 'a) | 0% |
lt-ref-self.rs | Struct<'a> | &Self | take lifetime from &Self | 75% |
In each case, we test the following patterns:
self: XXXself: Box<XXX>self: Pin<XXX>self: Box<Box<XXX>>self: Box<Pin<XXX>>In the non-reference cases, Pin causes errors so we substitute Rc.
async fnFor each of the tests above we also check that async fn behaves as an fn would. These tests are in files named *-async.rs.
