Implement `super let` Tracking issue: rust-lang#139076 This implements `super let` as proposed in rust-lang#139080, based on the following two equivalence rules. 1. For all expressions `$expr` in any context, these are equivalent: - `& $expr` - `{ super let a = & $expr; a }` 2. And, additionally, these are equivalent in any context when `$expr` is a temporary (aka rvalue): - `& $expr` - `{ super let a = $expr; & a }` So far, this experiment has a few interesting results: ## Interesting result 1 In this snippet: ```rust super let a = f(&temp()); ``` I originally expected temporary `temp()` would be dropped at the end of the statement (`;`), just like in a regular `let`, because `temp()` is not subject to temporary lifetime extension. However, it turns out that that would break the fundamental equivalence rules. For example, in ```rust g(&f(&temp())); ``` the temporary `temp()` will be dropped at the `;`. The first equivalence rule tells us this must be equivalent: ```rust g({ super let a = &f(&temp()); a }); ``` But that means that `temp()` must live until the last `;` (after `g()`), not just the first `;` (after `f()`). While this was somewhat surprising to me at first, it does match the exact behavior we need for `pin!()`: The following _should work_. (See also rust-lang#138718) ```rust g(pin!(f(&mut temp()))); ``` Here, `temp()` lives until the end of the statement. This makes sense from the perspective of the user, as no other `;` or `{}` are visible. Whether `pin!()` uses a `{}` block internally or not should be irrelevant. This means that _nothing_ in a `super let` statement will be dropped at the end of that super let statement. It does not even need its own scope. This raises questions that are useful for later on: - Will this make temporaries live _too long_ in cases where `super let` is used not in a hidden block in a macro, but as a visible statement in code like the following? ```rust let writer = { super let file = File::create(&format!("/home/{user}/test")); Writer::new(&file) }; ``` - Is a `let` statement in a block still the right syntax for this? Considering it has _no_ scope of its own, maybe neither a block nor a statement should be involved This leads me to think that instead of `{ super let $pat = $init; $expr }`, we might want to consider something like `let $pat = $init in $expr` or `$expr where $pat = $init`. Although there are also issues with these, as it isn't obvious anymore if `$init` should be subject to temporary lifetime extension. (Do we want both `let _ = _ in ..` and `super let _ = _ in ..`?) ## Interesting result 2 What about `super let x;` without initializer? ```rust let a = { super let x; x = temp(); &x }; ``` This works fine with the implementation in this PR: `x` is extended to live as long as `a`. While it matches my expectations, a somewhat interesting thing to realize is that these are _not_ equivalent: - `super let x = $expr;` - `super let x; x = $expr;` In the first case, all temporaries in $expr will live at least as long as (the result of) the surrounding block. In the second case, temporaries will be dropped at the end of the assignment statement. (Because the assignment statement itself "is not `super`".) This difference in behavior might be confusing, but it _might_ be useful. One might want to extend the lifetime of a variable without extending all the temporaries in the initializer expression. On the other hand, that can also be expressed as: - `let x = $expr; super let x = x;` (w/o temporary lifetime extension), or - `super let x = { $expr };` (w/ temporary lifetime extension) So, this raises these questions: - Do we want to accept `super let x;` without initializer at all? - Does it make sense for statements other than let statements to be "super"? An expression statement also drops temporaries at its `;`, so now that we discovered that `super let` basically disables that `;` (see interesting result 1), is there a use to having other statements without their own scope? (I don't think that's ever useful?) ## Interesting result 3 This works now: ```rust super let Some(x) = a.get(i) else { return }; ``` I didn't put in any special cases for `super let else`. This is just the behavior that 'naturally' falls out when implementing `super let` without thinking of the `let else` case. - Should `super let else` work? ## Interesting result 4 This 'works': ```rust fn main() { super let a = 123; } ``` I didn't put in any special cases for `super let` at function scope. I had expected the code to cause an ICE or other weird failure when used at function body scope, because there's no way to let the variable live as long as the result of the function. This raises the question: - Does this mean that this behavior is the natural/expected behavior when `super let` is used at function scope? Or is this just a quirk and should we explicitly disallow `super let` in a function body? (Probably the latter.) --- The questions above do not need an answer to land this PR. These questions should be considered when redesigning/rfc'ing/stabilizing the feature.

This implements
super let
as proposed in #139080, based on the following two equivalence rules.$expr
in any context, these are equivalent:& $expr
{ super let a = & $expr; a }
$expr
is a temporary (aka rvalue):& $expr
{ super let a = $expr; & a }
So far, this experiment has a few interesting results:
Interesting result 1
In this snippet:
I originally expected temporary
temp()
would be dropped at the end of the statement (;
), just like in a regularlet
, becausetemp()
is not subject to temporary lifetime extension.However, it turns out that that would break the fundamental equivalence rules.
For example, in
the temporary
temp()
will be dropped at the;
.The first equivalence rule tells us this must be equivalent:
But that means that
temp()
must live until the last;
(afterg()
), not just the first;
(afterf()
).While this was somewhat surprising to me at first, it does match the exact behavior we need for
pin!()
: The following should work. (See also #138718)Here,
temp()
lives until the end of the statement. This makes sense from the perspective of the user, as no other;
or{}
are visible. Whetherpin!()
uses a{}
block internally or not should be irrelevant.This means that nothing in a
super let
statement will be dropped at the end of that super let statement. It does not even need its own scope.This raises questions that are useful for later on:
Will this make temporaries live too long in cases where
super let
is used not in a hidden block in a macro, but as a visible statement in code like the following?Is a
let
statement in a block still the right syntax for this? Considering it has no scope of its own, maybe neither a block nor a statement should be involvedThis leads me to think that instead of
{ super let $pat = $init; $expr }
, we might want to consider something likelet $pat = $init in $expr
or$expr where $pat = $init
. Although there are also issues with these, as it isn't obvious anymore if$init
should be subject to temporary lifetime extension. (Do we want bothlet _ = _ in ..
andsuper let _ = _ in ..
?)Interesting result 2
What about
super let x;
without initializer?This works fine with the implementation in this PR:
x
is extended to live as long asa
.While it matches my expectations, a somewhat interesting thing to realize is that these are not equivalent:
super let x = $expr;
super let x; x = $expr;
In the first case, all temporaries in $expr will live at least as long as (the result of) the surrounding block.
In the second case, temporaries will be dropped at the end of the assignment statement. (Because the assignment statement itself "is not
super
".)This difference in behavior might be confusing, but it might be useful.
One might want to extend the lifetime of a variable without extending all the temporaries in the initializer expression.
On the other hand, that can also be expressed as:
let x = $expr; super let x = x;
(w/o temporary lifetime extension), orsuper let x = { $expr };
(w/ temporary lifetime extension)So, this raises these questions:
Do we want to accept
super let x;
without initializer at all?Does it make sense for statements other than let statements to be "super"? An expression statement also drops temporaries at its
;
, so now that we discovered thatsuper let
basically disables that;
(see interesting result 1), is there a use to having other statements without their own scope? (I don't think that's ever useful?)Interesting result 3
This works now:
I didn't put in any special cases for
super let else
. This is just the behavior that 'naturally' falls out when implementingsuper let
without thinking of thelet else
case.super let else
work?Interesting result 4
This 'works':
I didn't put in any special cases for
super let
at function scope. I had expected the code to cause an ICE or other weird failure when used at function body scope, because there's no way to let the variable live as long as the result of the function.This raises the question:
super let
is used at function scope? Or is this just a quirk and should we explicitly disallowsuper let
in a function body? (Probably the latter.)The questions above do not need an answer to land this PR. These questions should be considered when redesigning/rfc'ing/stabilizing the feature.
