Not sure if it still relevant but as far as I am aware the concern raised in http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2018/08/13/never-patterns-exhaustive-matching-and-uninhabited-types-oh-my/ hasn't been addressed. |

The rules around UB have matured since that blog post has been written, so I'm not sure where the concern lies any more. @nikomatsakis does this concern still stand?
The logic here is purely type-based, so there should not be any interaction. What do you have in mind? |

Could you leave a comment on the tracking issue responding to the blocking issues mentioned in #51085 (comment)? cc @Nadrieril |
As far as I know, the questions raised in that post (referenced by this comment) are still relevant and have not been resolved. @rust-lang/opsem is probably better positioned to judge whether this stabilization makes those questions any easier or harder. I can try to bring that stuff back into cache if they don't weigh in. =) |
Right, specifically the interesting questions involve pointer indirections: given Similar with |
It references are not considered uninhabited, so the 'x: &!' case is not allowed. As for the "what does the looking", MIR building introduces a fake read before the unreachable terminator for precisely this reason. So the '!' arm is the whitespace between the last explicit arm and the closing brace. https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/136281-t-opsem/topic/Soundness.20of.20.60exhaustive_patterns.60 might be an easier place to discuss this. |
Oh, okay. That should be documented clearly and covered by tests to ensure this will not be changed with some drive-by PR in the future. If inhabitedness never recurses below pointer indirections, so at least on first thought I think this does not have the issues that were discussed in the blog post.
When and where exactly such a fake read is introduced is not entirely clear though. E.g. arguably |

} This also compiles today and is presumably not UB. I don't understand this PR well enough yet to know if this is a problem. |
Ah right, I forgot about union fields. |

It looks like even on stable today, there is already an "unreachable pattern" warning in that case, per the playground link? |
Wait, what do you mean by that? |

Stabilisation report
This feature allows to omit visibly uninhabited patterns from a match.
This omission is only possible when the types are visibly uninhabited at the use point, ie. only if the uninhabitedness comes from a field that is accessible. As a drive-by this PR adds a note explaining this design choice.
Fixes #104034
The relevant tests are in
tests/ui/pattern
.I am not aware of any unresolved questions.
