Many "predicate"-to-"clause" renamings by nnethercote · Pull Request #159990 · rust-lang/rust

nnethercote · 2026-07-27T04:37:51Z

Lots of names weren't changed to account for the introduction of the Clause type as a specialized form of Predicate, presumably because it was tedious. This commit converts as many of them as I could find. It's mostly very tedious renamings of types, functions, variables, and queries. The more interesting ones are a couple of files (predicates_of.rs, impossible_predicates.rs) and a MIR pass (ImpossiblePredicates).

Apologies for the large diff. I did this a while ago but wasn't sure if it was worth the churn. Then @spastorino mentioned #107250 to me and I saw the unchecked item "Rename identifiers like pred and predicates to clause if they're actually clauses around the codebase" (which is exactly what this does) and decided to file the PR.

I believe I've found some instances of the comments/code surrounding your changes which should be updated to mention clauses as well. Not an expert in this by any stretch of imagination though, so please double-check 👉👈

Lots of names weren't changed to account for the introduction of the `Clause` type as a specialized form of `Predicate`, presumably because it was tedious. This commit converts as many of them as I could find. It's mostly very tedious renamings of types, functions, variables, and queries. The more interesting ones are a couple of files (`predicates_of.rs`, `impossible_predicates.rs`) and a MIR pass (`ImpossiblePredicates`).

This PR was rebased onto a different main commit. Here's a range-diff highlighting what actually changed.

Rebasing is a normal part of keeping PRs up to date, so no action is needed—this note is just to help reviewers.

nnethercote · 2026-07-28T01:49:23Z

@ada4a: thank you for the extremely thorough review! I have made all your suggested changes except where noted above.
