Trait resolution is the process of pairing up an impl with each
reference to a trait. So, for example, if there is a generic function like:
fn clone_slice<T:Clone>(x: &[T]) -> Vec<T> { ... }
```rust
fn clone_slice<T:Clone>(x: &[T]) -> Vec<T> { /*...*/ }
```
and then a call to that function:
let v: Vec<isize> = clone_slice([1, 2, 3])
```rust
let v: Vec<isize> = clone_slice(&[1, 2, 3])
```
it is the job of trait resolution to figure out (in which case)
whether there exists an impl of `isize : Clone`
@ -21,12 +25,14 @@ Note that in some cases, like generic functions, we may not be able to
find a specific impl, but we can figure out that the caller must
provide an impl. To see what I mean, consider the body of `clone_slice`:
fn clone_slice<T:Clone>(x: &[T]) -> Vec<T> {
let mut v = Vec::new();
for e in &x {
v.push((*e).clone()); // (*)
