Warning

This may contain bugs and is not ready for review.

TODO LIST

Implementation

  • implement for new solver
  • use this for as casts (feature gate? -Z flag?) still unstable because the traits are unstable
    • note: if we end up with eagerly normalizing to tail this needs a feature gate
  • docs for trait
  • check the DropVictim stuff, uhm ackshually it's called winnowing -> resolved as "let's just copy builtin candidates"
  • test in std .cast() -> specialization hack? no hack required, it's implemented
  • find new inference failures
  • fox fix borrowck
  • NonNull
  • fix "improved normalization" in a way that doesn't regress stuff -> normalize better #7
    • rename "normalize better" commit
    • stuff has been regressed anyway, needs unregress -> Sized: Thin

RFC

Blockers

  • wait for the raw pointer trait upcasting disaster to resolve
  • merge normalize better #7
  • Make Thin a supertrait of Sized

Optimize `Box::default` and `Arc::default` to construct more types in place

Both the `Arc` and `Box` `Default` impls currently call `T::default()` before allocating, and then moving the resulting `T` into the allocation.

Most `Default` impls are trivial, which should in theory allow
LLVM to construct `T: Default` directly in the `Box` allocation when calling
`<Box<T>>::default()`.

However, the allocation may fail, which necessitates calling `T`'s destructor if it has one.
If the destructor is non-trivial, then LLVM has a hard time proving that it's
sound to elide, which makes it construct `T` on the stack first, and then copy it into the allocation.

Change both of these impls to allocate first, and then call `T::default` into the uninitialized allocation, so that LLVM doesn't have to prove that it's sound to elide the destructor/initial stack copy.

For example, given the following Rust code:

```rust
#[derive(Default, Clone)]
struct Foo {
    x: Vec<u8>,
    z: String,
    y: Vec<u8>,
}

#[no_mangle]
pub fn src() -> Box<Foo> {
    Box::default()
}
```
