Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress Last week saw more building blocks being merged to enforce a trait’s constraints onto an impl block. What bjorn3 pointed out, which is pretty neat, is that a super trait is syntatic sugar for a Self TypeParameter […]

Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress This week my focus has been on the trait resolver; this will be the building block for the traits milestone. We can use it when we have a TraitImplBlock to enforce the impl conforms to the trait […]

Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress This week, I made good progress with merging work that I was working on via git branches. To get through this milestone, I believe that Traits break down into three phases: Trait impl blocks and enforcing the […]

Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress This week I spent the week cleaning up code, as I was working on my branch for traits I found the HIR implementation was missing a lot of desugaring. This is an important part of the HIR […]

Milestone Progress For Traits the first piece of work needed was to actually implement a trait using a trait impl block. This forms the basis to start enforcing obligations. I believe the milestones most difficult tickets hit early […]

Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Array Capacity and constant folding This week fixed several bugs in the compiler one of the big issues was constant expressions. In rust array capacities must be constant’s the default implementation simply just expected a LiteralExpression but this is […]
