pub struct Aggregate(pub Index);
Expand description

A collection of Types.

XXX I’ve added Array as using Aggregate in the hope ExtractValue could be used just like with struct aggregates, but it turns out we need ExtractElement (which takes an index Value). So Aggregate can be a ‘struct’ or ‘array’ but you only ever use them with Struct and Array types and with ExtractValue and ExtractElement… so they’re orthogonal and we can simplify aggregate again to be only for structs.

But also to keep Type as Copy we need to put the Array meta into another copy type (rather than recursing with Box, effectively a different Aggregate. This could be OK though, still simpler that what we have here.

NOTE: Aggregate derives Eq (and PartialEq) so that it can also derive Hash. But we must be careful not to use == or != to compare Aggregate for equivalency – i.e., to check that they represent the same collection of types. Instead the is_equivalent() method is provided. XXX Perhaps Hash should be impl’d directly without Eq if possible?

Tuple Fields

0: Index

Implementations

Return a new struct specific aggregate.

Returna new array specific aggregate.

Tests whether an aggregate has the same sub-types.

Get the type of (nested) aggregate fields, if found. If an index is into a Union then it will get the type of the indexed variant.

Get the type of the array element, if applicable.
