GAT Self: 'a bounds break some async blocks with impl Trait #92096
Open
Description
As required by #87479, Self: 'a must be explicitly added for GATs with self lifetimes. But it seems such a bound breaks async blocks with impl Trait sometimes.
Given a trait with a GAT:
trait Client {
type Connecting<'a>: Future + Send
where
Self: 'a;
fn connect(&'_ self) -> Self::Connecting<'_>;
}Awaiting on Client::connect() in an async block results in a confusing lifeime error on impl ...:
fn call_connect<C>(c: &'_ C) -> impl '_ + Future + Send // removing +Send will compile
where
C: Client + Send + Sync,
{
// c.connect().inspect(|_| println!("this compiles"))
async move {
println!("this does not compile");
c.connect().await
}
}error[E0311]: the parameter type `C` may not live long enough
--> src/lib.rs:19:33
|
19 | fn call_connect<C>(c: &'_ C) -> impl '_ + Future + Send // removing +Send will compile
| - ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ...so that the type `C` will meet its required lifetime bounds
| |
| help: consider adding an explicit lifetime bound...: `C: 'a`
It also breaks a generic impl on the trait with type_alias_impl_trait:
struct ClientWrapper<T>(T);
impl<T> Client for ClientWrapper<T>
where
T: Client + Send + Sync,
{
type Connecting<'a>
where
T: 'a,
= impl Future + Send; // removing +Send here & in the trait will compile
fn connect(&'_ self) -> Self::Connecting<'_> {
// self.0.connect() // <- this compiles
// self.0.connect().inspect(|_| println!("this compiles"))
async move {
println!("this does not compile");
self.0.connect().await
}
}
}error[E0311]: the parameter type `T` may not live long enough
