rustc_const_eval/interpret/intern.rs
1//! This module specifies the type based interner for constants.
2//!
3//! After a const evaluation has computed a value, before we destroy the const evaluator's session
4//! memory, we need to extract all memory allocations to the global memory pool so they stay around.
5//!
6//! In principle, this is not very complicated: we recursively walk the final value, follow all the
7//! pointers, and move all reachable allocations to the global `tcx` memory. The only complication
8//! is picking the right mutability: the outermost allocation generally has a clear mutability, but
9//! what about the other allocations it points to that have also been created with this value? We
10//! don't want to do guesswork here. The rules are: `static`, `const`, and promoted can only create
11//! immutable allocations that way. `static mut` can be initialized with expressions like `&mut 42`,
12//! so all inner allocations are marked mutable. Some of them could potentially be made immutable,
13//! but that would require relying on type information, and given how many ways Rust has to lie
14//! about type information, we want to avoid doing that.
