# The MIR type-check

A key component of the borrow check is the
[MIR type-check](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_mir/borrow_check/type_check/index.html).
This check walks the MIR and does a complete "type check" -- the same
kind you might find in any other language. In the process of doing
this type-check, we also uncover the region constraints that apply to
the program.

TODO -- elaborate further? Maybe? :)
