This is an internal tracking issue for the migration type system components into rustc_type_ir and rustc_next_trait_solver to be shared with RustAnalyzer and other users. See the dev-guide for more information.
This is mostly just a loose collection of things we should move into the shared library at some point. Please go to the the #t-types/trait-system-initiative zulip to discuss things and for mentoring opportunities. I will try to link to the relevant zulip topic for anything where it feels fairly clear what to do, while other migrations are less obvious or may interfere with work currently being done.
Specific work items
Long term goals
partially move InferCtxt into rustc_type_ir
uplift non-borrowck region handling
Implementation history
This list is very much incomplete, if you find any PRs which have been relevant here please DM @lcnr on zulip about them or add them yourself.
