tests/ui/layout/normalization-failure.rs

//! This test demonstrates how `LayoutError::NormalizationFailure` can happen and why
//! it is necessary.
//!
//! This code does not cause an immediate normalization error in typeck, because we
//! don't reveal the hidden type returned by `opaque<T>` in the analysis typing mode.
//! Instead, `<{opaque} as Project2>::Assoc2` is a *rigid projection*, because we know
//! that `{opaque}: Project2` holds, due to the opaque type's `impl Project2` bound,
//! but cannot normalize `<{opaque} as Project2>::Assoc2` any further.
//!
//! However, in the post-analysis typing mode, which is used for the layout computation,
//! the opaque's hidden type is revealed to be `PhantomData<T>`, and now we fail to
//! normalize `<PhantomData<T> as Project2>::Assoc2` if there is a `T: Project1` bound
//! in the param env! This happens, because `PhantomData<T>: Project2` only holds if
//! `<T as Project1>::Assoc1 == ()` holds. This would usually be satisfied by the
//! blanket `impl<T> Project1 for T`, but due to the `T: Project1` bound we do not
//! normalize `<T as Project1>::Assoc1` via the impl and treat it as rigid instead.
//! Therefore, `PhantomData<T>: Project2` does NOT hold and normalizing
//! `<PhantomData<T> as Project2>::Assoc2` fails.
//!
//! Note that this layout error can only happen when computing the layout in a generic
//! context, which is not required for codegen, but may happen for lints, MIR optimizations,
//! and the transmute check.
