Centralize and clean type error reporting #34907

arielb1 · 2016-07-18T22:12:25Z

Refactors the code that handles type errors to be cleaner and fixes various edge cases.

This made the already-bad "type mismatch resolving" error message somewhat uglier. I want to fix that in another commit before this PR is merged.

Fixes #31173

Few more errors to modernize:

expected constant integer for repeat count, but mismatched types
array length constant evaluation error: mismatched types
implemented const has an incompatible type for trait

Will fix these tomorrow.

All type errors now look like:

it's hard for me to tell from this diff: has the "values differ in mutability" part of the message been entirely removed?

See the error message above ^. It is now a label in new-skool and a single note in old-skool.

nikomatsakis · 2016-07-19T15:27:49Z

So I'm 👍 on removing the hack around newlines and centralizing the error reporting infrastructure here to go through a more common set of methods. That said, it seems like the new messages may be less specific and quite possibly less helpful than the old ones.

It might be though that if we combined this patch with something that gives intelligent diffs, that would be the best of both worlds.

Basically I think we want to avoid presenting people with two types and having them find the difference: so if we used to point out that the problem has to do with mutability, but now we make you figure it out for yourself, that could be a regression in usability. I also think that we calling everything "mismatched types" might be confused for people, if we can give a more specific indicator of where the type problem is.

Also, @arielb1, you mention this:

This made the already-bad "type mismatch resolving" error message somewhat uglier. I want to fix that in another commit before this PR is merged.

How does it look now? Can you give an example of what got uglier?

arielb1 · 2016-07-20T23:16:40Z

ready for review. I would like @nikomatsakis to look at the last commit (efe1a68).

arielb1 · 2016-07-21T15:15:11Z

added a commit to fix the RFC1592 warnings (#33242, #33243) - they are there since 1.10 and I am planning to make more modifications to traits::error_reporting.

Unfortunately, projection errors do not come with a nice set of mismatched types. This is because the type equality check occurs within a higher-ranked context. Therefore, only the type error is reported. This is ugly but was always the situation. I will introduce better errors for the lower-ranked case in another commit. Fixes the last known occurence of rust-lang#31173

Refactor constant evaluation to use a single error reporting function that reports a type-error-like message. Also, unify all error codes with the "constant evaluation error" message to just E0080, and similarly for a few other duplicate codes. The old situation was a total mess, and now that we have *something* we can further iterate on the UX.

The type equation in projection takes place under a binder and a snapshot, which we can't easily take types out of. Instead, when encountering a projection error, try to re-do the projection and find the type error then. This fails to produce a sane type error when the failure was a "leak_check" failure. I can't think of a sane way to show *these*, so I just left them use the old crappy representation, and added a test to make sure we don't break them.
