Make struct_tail normalize when possible #62585

As noted in commit message: this replaces the existing methods to extract the struct tail(s) with new entry points that make the handling of normalization explicit.

Most of the places that call struct_tail are during codegen, post type-checking, and therefore they can get away with using tcx.normalize_erasing_regions (this is the entry point struct_tail_erasing_lifetimes)

For other cases that may arise, one can use the core method, which is parameterized over the normalization Ty -> Ty closure (struct_tail_with_normalize).

Or one can use the trivial entry point that does not normalization (struct_tail_without_normalization)


I spent a little while trying to make a test that exposed the bug via impl Trait rather than a projection, but I failed to find something that tripped up the current nightly rustc.

  • I have not spent any time trying to make tests that trip up the other places where struct_tail was previously being called. While I do think the task of making such tests could be worthwhile, I am simply running out of time. (Its also possible that the layout code is always the first point called, and thus it may be pointless to try to come up with such tests.)

I also spent a little time discussing with @eddyb where this code should live. They suggested moving struct_tail and its sibling struct_lockstep_tails to the LayoutCx. But in the interest of time, I have left that refactoring (which may be questionable at this point) to a follow-up task.

r=me with nits fixed (if at all)

…ing normalization.

The old struct tail functions did not deal with `<T as Trait>::A` and `impl
Trait`, at least not explicitly. (We didn't notice this bug before because it
is only exposed when the tail (post deep normalization) is not `Sized`, so it
was a rare case to deal with.)

For post type-checking (i.e. during codegen), there is now
`struct_tail_erasing_lifetimes` and `struct_lockstep_tails_erasing_lifetimes`,
which each take an additional `ParamEnv` argument to drive normalization.

For pre type-checking cases where normalization is not needed, there is
`struct_tail_without_normalization`. (Currently, the only instance of this is
`Expectation::rvalue_hint`.)

All of these new entrypoints work by calling out to common helper routines.
The helpers are parameterized over a closure that handles the normalization.
