Move Const from rustc_middle to rustc_type_ir

This is ty::Const, not mir::Const, right? Would be good to clarify so these PRs are easier to interpret. :)

lcnr · 2026-09-25T09:48:03Z

-        let valtree =
-            ty::ValTree::from_scalar_int(tcx, ScalarInt::try_from_uint(bits, size).unwrap());
-        ty::Const::new_value(tcx, valtree, ty)
-    }


this function is kind of scuffed :< I don't want this in rustc_type_ir if I am honest. More generally TypingEnv is in a weird state and I'd like to keep this out of rustc_type_ir for now 🤔 can we maybe keep this in an extension trait for now?

Hmm what about on Interner;

fn const_from_bits(self, bits: u128, typing_env: Self::TypingEnv, ty: Self::Ty) -> Const<Self>;

Then keep the implementation in the rustc_middle's interner implementation? That way we don't need to resurrect the ConstExt and the scuffed parts stay in rustc_middle? Obviously happy to revert if that's a terrible idea.

I've given it a go in this commit; 39c689e, doesn't feel too bad as it uses a few interner methods

+        } else {
+            const_v.try_to_leaf().map(|s| s.to_target_usize(self))
+        }
+    }


why exactly does this need to be on the interner? I guess the to_target_usize is the actually relevant part? 🤔

View changes since the review

Yes s.to_target_usize() to the relevant part. I've now made to_target_usize a method on ValueConst in inherent.rs. Could be less bad than bolting another helper method on to Interner?

I've done so in; bcc98fa

my only question is const_from_bits /Const::from_bits. If this method only uses rustc_type_ir internal stuff, maybe we should have it on Const after all 🤔

Why do we need the TypingEnv extension trait again?

this is partially out of cache for me unfortunately 🤔

Jamesbarford · 2026-10-06T11:26:45Z

const_from_bits

const_from_bits exists so we aren't using TypingEnv in rustc_type_ir though maybe we could put something on the inherent trait for it to implement in rustc_middle?
The inherent trait is for I::TypingEnv::fully_monomorphized() so we can use it in Const::from_bool(...) and Const::from_target_usize(...)

lcnr · 2026-10-07T12:50:21Z

That's inconsistent, is it not. If we need to use TypingEnv::fully_monomorphized for two other functions, then const_from_bits being outside to avoid that doesn't really work, does it?

Either have all these functions outside of rustc_type_ir or all of them in it I'd say

Good point, I've made a fn layout_size(...) on trait TypingEnv and moved fn from_bits(...) 0bf6c48
