This is commonly used in Rust to give a stronger type for indices. -NLL | [non-lexical lifetimes](./mir/regionck.html), an extension to Rust's borrowing system to make it be based on the control-flow graph. +NLL | [non-lexical lifetimes](./borrow_check/region_inference.html), an extension to Rust's borrowing system to make it be based on the control-flow graph. node-id or NodeId | an index identifying a particular node in the AST or HIR; gradually being phased out and replaced with `HirId`. obligation | something that must be proven by the trait system ([see more](traits/resolution.html)) projection | a general term for a "relative path", e.g. `x.f` is a "field projection", and `T::Item` is an ["associated type projection"](./traits/goals-and-clauses.html#trait-ref) @@ -53,7 +53,7 @@ rib | a data structure in the name resolver that keeps trac sess | the compiler session, which stores global data used throughout compilation side tables | because the AST and HIR are immutable once created, we often carry extra information about them in the form of hashtables, indexed by the id of a particular node. sigil | like a keyword but composed entirely of non-alphanumeric tokens. For example, `&` is a sigil for references. -skolemization | a way of handling subtyping around "for-all" types (e.g., `for<'a> fn(&'a u32)`) as well as solving higher-ranked trait bounds (e.g., `for<'a> T: Trait<'a>`).

See [the chapter on skolemization and universes](./borrow_check/region_inference.html#skol) for more details. soundness | soundness is a technical term in type theory. Roughly, if a type system is sound, then if a program type-checks, it is type-safe; i.e. I can never (in safe rust) force a value into a variable of the wrong type. (see "completeness"). span | a location in the user's source code, used for error reporting primarily. These are like a file-name/line-number/column tuple on steroids: they carry a start/end point, and also track macro expansions and compiler desugaring. All while being packed into a few bytes (really, it's an index into a table). See the Span datatype for more. substs | the substitutions for a given generic type or item (e.g. the `i32`, `u32` in `HashMap<i32, u32>`) |
