cast.rs

//! Code for type-checking cast expressions.
//!
//! A cast `e as U` is valid if one of the following holds:
//! * `e` has type `T` and `T` coerces to `U`; *coercion-cast*
//! * `e` has type `*T`, `U` is `*U_0`, and either `U_0: Sized` or
//!    pointer_kind(`T`) = pointer_kind(`U_0`); *ptr-ptr-cast*
//! * `e` has type `*T` and `U` is a numeric type, while `T: Sized`; *ptr-addr-cast*
//! * `e` is an integer and `U` is `*U_0`, while `U_0: Sized`; *addr-ptr-cast*
//! * `e` has type `T` and `T` and `U` are any numeric types; *numeric-cast*
//! * `e` is a C-like enum and `U` is an integer type; *enum-cast*
//! * `e` has type `bool` or `char` and `U` is an integer; *prim-int-cast*
//! * `e` has type `u8` and `U` is `char`; *u8-char-cast*
//! * `e` has type `&[T; n]` and `U` is `*const T`; *array-ptr-cast*
//! * `e` is a function pointer type and `U` has type `*T`,
//!   while `T: Sized`; *fptr-ptr-cast*
//! * `e` is a function pointer type and `U` is an integer; *fptr-addr-cast*
//!
//! where `&.T` and `*T` are references of either mutability,
//! and where pointer_kind(`T`) is the kind of the unsize info
//! in `T` - the vtable for a trait definition (e.g., `fmt::Display` or
//! `Iterator`, not `Iterator<Item=u8>`) or a length (or `()` if `T: Sized`).
//!
//! Note that lengths are not adjusted when casting raw slices -
//! `T: *const [u16] as *const [u8]` creates a slice that only includes
//! half of the original memory.
//!
//! Casting is not transitive, that is, even if `e as U1 as U2` is a valid
//! expression, `e as U2` is not necessarily so (in fact it will only be valid if
//! `U1` coerces to `U2`).
