// Rather convoluted setup where we infer a relationship between two // free regions in the closure signature (`'a` and `'b`) on the basis // of a relationship between two bound regions (`'x` and `'y`). // // The idea is that, thanks to invoking `demand_y`, `'x: 'y` must // hold, where `'x` and `'y` are bound regions. The closure can't // prove that directly, and because `'x` and `'y` are bound it cannot // ask the caller to prove it either. But it has bounds on `'x` and // `'y` in terms of `'a` and `'b`, and it can propagate a relationship // between `'a` and `'b` to the caller. // // Note: the use of `Cell` here is to introduce invariance. One less // variable. //@ compile-flags:-Zverbose-internals #![feature(rustc_attrs)] use std::cell::Cell; // Callee knows that: // // 'x: 'a // 'b: 'y // // so if we are going to ensure that `'x: 'y`, then `'a: 'b` must // hold. fn establish_relationships<'a, 'b, F>(_cell_a: &Cell<&'a u32>, _cell_b: &Cell<&'b u32>, _closure: F) where F: for<'x, 'y> FnMut( &Cell<&'a &'x u32>, // shows that 'x: 'a &Cell<&'y &'b u32>, // shows that 'b: 'y &Cell<&'x u32>, &Cell<&'y u32>, ), { } fn demand_y<'x, 'y>(_cell_x: &Cell<&'x u32>, _cell_y: &Cell<&'y u32>, _y: &'y u32) {} #[rustc_regions] fn supply<'a, 'b>(cell_a: Cell<&'a u32>, cell_b: Cell<&'b u32>) { establish_relationships(&cell_a, &cell_b, |_outlives1, _outlives2, x, y| { // Only works if 'x: 'y: demand_y(x, y, x.get()) //~^ ERROR lifetime may not live long enough }); } fn main() {}
