@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ DAG | a directed acyclic graph is used during compilation t
data-flow analysis | a static analysis that figures out what properties are true at each point in the control-flow of a program; see [the background chapter for more](./background.html#dataflow)
DefId | an index identifying a definition (see `librustc/hir/def_id.rs`). Uniquely identifies a `DefPath`.
Double pointer | a pointer with additional metadata. See "fat pointer" for more.
drop glue | (internal) compiler-generated instructions that handle calling the destructors (`Drop`) for data types.
DST | Dynamically-Sized Type. A type for which the compiler cannot statically know the size in memory (e.g. `str` or `[u8]`). Such types don't implement `Sized` and cannot be allocated on the stack. They can only occur as the last field in a struct. They can only be used behind a pointer (e.g. `&str` or `&[u8]`).
early-bound lifetime | a lifetime region, which is bound in an item's `Generics` and substituted using a `Substs`. Contrast with **late-bound lifetime**. ([see more](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc/ty/enum.RegionKind.html#bound-regions))
empty type | see "uninhabited type".
