I'm about to land my patch for #3979, but @nikomatsakis suggested refactoring the code related to it more thoroughly in the future, in order to:

  • stop treating self specially, but rather, treat it like any other type parameter
  • don't concatenate bounds from different type parameters; rather, pass around vectors of vectors of bounds
catamorphism added a commit that referenced this issue Jan 30, 2013
Add a new method_super origin for supertrait methods. Also make
coherence create a table that maps pairs of trait IDs and self types
to impl IDs, so that it's possible to check a supertrait method
knowing only its index in its trait's methods (without knowing all
supertraits for a given trait).

r=nmatsakis and graydon -- with hope, we'll revamp all of this code as
per #4678, but for now this fixes the bug.

Closes #3979

I'm working on it. Moved up to 0.6 -- it doesn't look too hard (famous last words...)

I need to talk to @nikomatsakis about this.

Visiting for triage; sounds like something that @msullivan might know something about.

Sadly, I never got around to this. @nikomatsakis , have you perhaps already done this as part of another patch?

triage bump. There's still work to be done here. I think @eddyb did something already.

@nick29581 Can this issue be superseded by the planned work on UFCS (re: the self treatment part)?

Even with the UFCS work, self is still treated a bit specially in the compiler. It shouldn't be. So I think this issue is still relevant (maybe even more so) post-UFCS.

I think this issue is basically done. We now have vectors-of-vectors (VecPerParamSpace) and we treat self like any other type parameter (it just happens to be in the Self space). At least the refactorings I suggested to Tim are done, anyway, so I'm going to close.
