Description
Feature
Unreachability should be checked for constrained type vars.
Pitch
It would be nice if this raised an error when run with --warn-unreachable
:
from typing import TypeVar
U = TypeVar('U', int, str)
def f(u: U) -> U:
if u is None:
print("whoa!!")
return u
To implement this feature, I think we need to store the spans of unreachability for each run, then find the intersection. I thought for a while that we could just treat constrained type variables as if they were bound to the union of constraints, but things like #9424 will happen for things that aren't final (unlike None
).
