For valid programs, Sema builds an AST for parsed constructs. + +Concept Satisfaction Checking and Subsumption +--------------------------------------------- + +As per the C++ standard, constraints are `normalized <https://eel.is/c++draft/temp.constr.normal>`_ +and the normal form is used both for subsumption, and constraint checking. +Both depend on a parameter mapping that substitutes lazily. In particular, +we should not substitute in unused arguments. + +Clang follows the order of operations prescribed by the standard. + +Normalization happens prior to satisfaction and subsumption +and is handled by ``NormalizedConstraint``. + +Clang preserves in the normalized form intermediate concept-ids +(``ConceptIdConstraint``) This is used for diagnostics only and no substitution +happens in a ConceptIdConstraint if its expression is satisfied. + +The normal form of the associated constraints of a declaration is cached in +Sema::NormalizationCache such that it is only computed once. + +A ``NormalizedConstraint`` is a recursive data structure, where each node +contains a parameter mapping, represented by the indexes of all parameter +being used. + +Checking satisfaction is done by ``ConstraintSatisfactionChecker``, recursively +walking ``NormalizedConstraint``. At each level, we substitute the outermost +level of the template arguments referenced in the parameter mapping of a +normalized expression (``MultiLevelTemplateArgumentList``). + +For the following example, + +.. code-block:: c++ + + template <typename T> + concept A = __is_same(T, int); + + template <typename U> + concept B = A<U> && __is_same(U, int); + +The normal form of B is + +.. code-block:: c++ + + __is_same(T, int) /*T->U, innermost level*/ + && __is_same(U, int) {U->U} /*T->U, outermost level*/ + +After substitution in the mapping, we substitute in the constraint expression +using that copy of the ``MultiLevelTemplateArgumentList``, and then evaluate it. + +Because this is expensive, it is cached in +``UnsubstitutedConstraintSatisfactionCache``. + +Any error during satisfaction is recorded in ``ConstraintSatisfaction``. +for nested requirements, ``ConstraintSatisfaction`` is stored (including +diagnostics) in the AST, which is something we might want to improve. + +When an atomic constraint is not satified, we try to substitute into any +enclosing concept-id using the same mechanism described above, for +diagnostics purpose, and inject that in the ``ConstraintSatisfaction``. + .. _CodeGen: The CodeGen Library diff --git a/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst b/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst index b1ddfa0..d2e5bd2 100644 --- a/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst +++ b/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst @@ -160,6 +160,10 @@ C++23 Feature Support C++20 Feature Support ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +- Clang now normalizes constraints before checking whether they are satisfied, as mandated by the standard. + As a result, Clang no longer incorrectly diagnoses substitution failures in template arguments only + used in concept-ids, and produces better diagnostics for satisfaction failure.
