I have the following trait and generic implementation for Fn
:
trait Provider<'a> {
type Out;
fn get(&'a self, state: &State) -> Self::Out;
}
impl<'a, F, T> Provider<'a> for F
where
F: Fn(&State) -> T,
{
type Out = T;
fn get(&'a self, state: &State) -> T {
self(state)
}
}
Now, I have some code that wants a for<'a> Provider<'a, Out = usize>
. However, the most simple closure, |_| 1
, does not qualify and instead provides this error message which I don't understand:
fn assert_usize_provider<P>(_: P)
where
P: for<'a> Provider<'a, Out = usize>,
{
}
fn main() {
assert_usize_provider(|_| 1);
}
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/main.rs:27:5
|
27 | assert_usize_provider(|_| 1);
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ lifetime mismatch
|
= note: expected type `FnOnce<(&State,)>`
found type `FnOnce<(&State,)>`
note: this closure does not fulfill the lifetime requirements
--> src/main.rs:27:27
|
27 | assert_usize_provider(|_| 1);
| ^^^^^
note: the lifetime requirement is introduced here
--> src/main.rs:22:29
|
22 | P: for<'a> Provider<'a, Out = usize>,
| ^^^^^^^^^^^
Can someone explain what that error message means and how to get this code working?
I don't know why inference does not work in this case but you can add type annotation to get the code working.
assert_usize_provider(|_ : &State| 1);
