• [$] Rust's next-generation trait solver

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Tue Mar 31 06:40:08 2026


    Rust's compiler team has been working on a long-term project to

    rewrite the trait solver - the part of the compiler that determines which concrete function should be called when a programmer uses a trait method that is
    implemented for multiple types. The rewrite is intended to simplify
    future changes to the trait system, fix a handful of tricky soundness bugs, and provide faster compile times. It's also nearly finished, with a relatively small number of remaining blocking bugs.
