Description
The current issue with the implementation is that there are too many ways of representing infer vars in the hir
. We have TyKind::Infer
, GenericArg::Infer
, and ArrayLen::Infer
. It would be too easy for someone to check only for a TyKind::Infer
generic arg but forget about GenericArg::Infer
, or check both of those but forget about ArrayLen::Infer
.
At this moment I'm not entirely sure what the best way of fixing this is. rust-lang/compiler-team#480 was an attempt to fix this but it was too broad (attempted to also support unbraced const param arguments), did not solve ArrayLen::Infer
, and I'm not even sure how nice removing TyKind::Infer
would be since we use hir::Ty
in places for things that arent generic args.
