The different kinds of types recognized by the compiler

Variants

Slice(P<Ty>)

A variable-length slice ([T])

Array(P<Ty>, AnonConst)

A fixed length array ([T; n])

Ptr(MutTy)

A raw pointer (*const T or *mut T)

Rptr(Option<Lifetime>, MutTy)

A reference (&'a T or &'a mut T)

BareFn(P<BareFnTy>)

A bare function (e.g. fn(usize) -> bool)

Never

The never type (!)

Tup(Vec<P<Ty>>)

A tuple ((A, B, C, D,...))

Path(Option<QSelf>, Path)

A path (module::module::...::Type), optionally "qualified", e.g. <Vec<T> as SomeTrait>::SomeType.

Type parameters are stored in the Path itself

TraitObject(GenericBounds, TraitObjectSyntax)

A trait object type Bound1 + Bound2 + Bound3 where Bound is a trait or a lifetime.

ImplTrait(NodeId, GenericBounds)

An impl Bound1 + Bound2 + Bound3 type where Bound is a trait or a lifetime.

The NodeId exists to prevent lowering from having to generate NodeIds on the fly, which would complicate the generation of existential type items significantly

Paren(P<Ty>)

No-op; kept solely so that we can pretty-print faithfully

Typeof(AnonConst)

Unused for now

Infer

TyKind::Infer means the type should be inferred instead of it having been specified. This can appear anywhere in a type.

ImplicitSelf

Inferred type of a self or &self argument in a method.

Mac(Mac)Err

Placeholder for a kind that has failed to be defined.

Methods

impl TyKind
