skip proving the trait goal if possible in `NormalizesTo` goal #149533

adwinwhite · 2025-12-02T06:23:56Z

And also split assembly_and_merge_candidates for HostEffect and NormalizesTo goals.

also split the `assembly_and_merge_candidates` for `HostEffect` and `NormalizesTo`

Not sure whether candidate preference matters to effect goal.

it's whatever :> please add a FIXME(const_traits) to assemble_and_merge_candidates that this was copied from the old projection normalization behavior and might not be what we actually want here

 //
-// We currently intentionally do not guide inference this way.
+// Since we skip proving the trait goal in normalizes-to goal now, the normalizes-to
+// goal can successfully resolve the infer var via param env.


This seems unavoidable since we don't know whether the trait goal will succeed or not at this time.

lcnr

fun, this isn't quite the behavior of the old trait solver either :3

the old solver only skips trying to prove the trait goal of we've got a builtin trait object impls. I think this ended up not really being necessary after your previous work?

idk... this sucks xd

let's see if the change impacts perf in a major way. If so, we can still avoid assembling impls in some cases at least :3

Suggested change

pub(super) fn normalize_trait_associated_term(

pub(super) fn normalize_projection_term(

that's what we use in AliasTermKind 🤔

-// We currently intentionally do not guide inference this way.
+// Since we skip proving the trait goal in normalizes-to goal now, the normalizes-to
+// goal can successfully resolve the infer var via param env.
+// This causes the stalled ambiguous trait goal to succeed as well.


this also doesn't compile with the old solver right now 🤔 why?

ah, because the old solver always uses assemble_candidates_from_impls and forces ambiguity unless assembly resulted in a builtin trait object candidate :<

that's wild xx

flip these two statements. I want the comment to start with the FIXME. Right now it seems like the first line is separate from the content of the FIXME

comment: something something we already looked for param_env and alias-bound candidates so we don't have to assemble them again
