Always make tuple elements a coercion site by WaffleLapkin · Pull Request #147834 · rust-lang/rust

WaffleLapkin · 2025-10-17T22:57:57Z

Previously we only used check_expr_coercible_to_type if we had an expectation (using check_expr_with_expectation(NoExpectation) otherwise). Normally that'd be fine, because without an expectation we can't insert a coercion anyway. However, for the case of never-to-any coercion specifically, we do insert it eagerly, so this prevents some code from compiling, for example:

((),) = (loop {},);

With this PR we are always using check_expr_coercible_to_type (using an infer var if there is no expectation), which allows slightly more code to compile.

Fixes #112856

compiler/rustc_middle/src/ty/sty.rs


+    /// Returns a list of tuple type arguments, or `None` if `self` isn't a tuple.
+    #[inline]
+    pub fn tuple(self) -> Option<&'tcx List<Ty<'tcx>>> {


Suggested change

pub fn tuple(self) -> Option<&'tcx List<Ty<'tcx>>> {

pub fn opt_tuple_fields(self) -> Option<&'tcx List<Ty<'tcx>>> {

seems like it does the same thing as tuple_fields it just doesnt panic

That is indeed the case, is there a problem with that? In the code I wrote I found this a lot more convenient than checking the type first.

no it's fine I just found the differences in the names doesn't really reflect the differences in behaviour

If you have a better idea for the names I can rename them

i suggested a different name already :P

🤦🏻

@bors try @rust-timer queue

should crater this as it is theoretically breaking, though I don't actually expect any breakage here 🤔

When we stabilize the never type do we intend to change how NeverToAny coercions work? Will we continue unconditionally coercing ! to an inference variable, or will we stop doing that? Or in other words, is the stable behaviour here the behaviour we'd expect to have once never type is stabilized?

Overall result: ❌✅ regressions and improvements - please read the text below

Benchmarking this pull request means it may be perf-sensitive – we'll automatically label it not fit for rolling up. You can override this, but we strongly advise not to, due to possible changes in compiler perf.

Next Steps: If you can justify the regressions found in this try perf run, please do so in sufficient writing along with @rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged. If not, please fix the regressions and do another perf run. If its results are neutral or positive, the label will be automatically removed.

When we stabilize the never type do we intend to change how NeverToAny coercions work? Will we continue unconditionally coercing ! to an inference variable, or will we stop doing that? Or in other words, is the stable behaviour here the behaviour we'd expect to have once never type is stabilized?

I don't expect / haven't heard of any desire to make any changes with how we insert NeverToAny coercions.
