stabilize member constraints Stabilizes the use of "member constraints" in solving `impl Trait` bindings. This is a step towards stabilizing a "MVP" of "named impl Trait". # Member constraint stabilization report | Info | | | --- | --- | | Tracking issue | [rust-lang/rust#61997](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/61997) | | Implementation history | [rust-lang/rust#61775] | | rustc-dev-guide coverage | [link](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/borrow_check/region_inference/member_constraints.html) | | Complications | [rust-lang/rust#61773] | [rust-lang/rust#61775]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/61775 [rust-lang/rust#61773]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/61773 ## Background Member constraints are an extension to our region solver that was introduced to make async fn region solving tractable. There are used in situations like the following: ```rust fn foo<'a, 'b>(...) -> impl Trait<'a, 'b> { .. } ``` The problem here is that every region R in the hidden type must be equal to *either* `'a` *or* `'b` (or `'static`). This cannot be expressed simply via 'outlives constriants' like `R: 'a`. Therefore, we introduce a 'member constraint' `R member of ['a, 'b]`. These constraints were introduced in [rust-lang/rust#61775]. At the time, we kept them feature gated and used them only for `impl Trait` return types that are derived from `async fn`. The intention, however, was always to support them in other contexts once we had time to gain more experience with them. **In the time since their introduction, we have encountered no surprises or bugs due to these member constraints.** They are tested extensively as part of every async function that involves multiple unrelated lifetimes in its arguments. ## Tests The behavior of member constraints is covered by the following tests: * [`src/test/ui/async-await/multiple-lifetimes`]( |
