miri | an interpreter for MIR used for constant evaluation ([see more](./miri.html))
|
||||
normalize | a general term for converting to a more canonical form, but in the case of rustc typically refers to [associated type normalization](./traits/associated-types.html#normalize)
|
||||
newtype | a "newtype" is a wrapper around some other type (e.g., `struct Foo(T)` is a "newtype" for `T`). This is commonly used in Rust to give a stronger type for indices.
|
||||
NLL | [non-lexical lifetimes](./mir/regionck.html), an extension to Rust's borrowing system to make it be based on the control-flow graph.

|
||||
node-id or NodeId | an index identifying a particular node in the AST or HIR; gradually being phased out and replaced with `HirId`.
|
||||
obligation | something that must be proven by the trait system ([see more](traits/resolution.html))
|
||||
projection | a general term for a "relative path", e.g. `x.f` is a "field projection", and `T::Item` is an ["associated type projection"](./traits/goals-and-clauses.html#trait-ref)

sess | the compiler session, which stores global data used throughout compilation
|
||||
side tables | because the AST and HIR are immutable once created, we often carry extra information about them in the form of hashtables, indexed by the id of a particular node.
|
||||
sigil | like a keyword but composed entirely of non-alphanumeric tokens. For example, `&` is a sigil for references.
|
||||
skolemization | a way of handling subtyping around "for-all" types (e.g., `for<'a> fn(&'a u32)`) as well as solving higher-ranked trait bounds (e.g., `for<'a> T: Trait<'a>`). See [the chapter on skolemization and universes](./mir/regionck.html#skol) for more details.

||||
soundness | soundness is a technical term in type theory. Roughly, if a type system is sound, then if a program type-checks, it is type-safe; i.e. I can never (in safe rust) force a value into a variable of the wrong type. (see "completeness").
|
||||
span | a location in the user's source code, used for error reporting primarily. These are like a file-name/line-number/column tuple on steroids: they carry a start/end point, and also track macro expansions and compiler desugaring. All while being packed into a few bytes (really, it's an index into a table). See the Span datatype for more.
|
||||
substs | the substitutions for a given generic type or item (e.g. the `i32`, `u32` in `HashMap<i32, u32>`)
