An argument lifetime was elided in an async function. | ||
|
||
Erroneous code example: | ||
|
||
When a struct or a type is bound/declared with a lifetime it is important for | ||
the Rust compiler to know, on usage, the lifespan of the type. When the | ||
lifetime is not explicitly mentioned and the Rust Compiler cannot determine | ||
the lifetime of your type, the following error occurs. | ||
|
||
```compile_fail,E0726 | ||
use futures::executor::block_on; | ||
struct Content<'a> { | ||
title: &'a str, | ||
body: &'a str, | ||
} | ||
async fn create(content: Content) { // error: implicit elided | ||
// lifetime not allowed here | ||
println!("title: {}", content.title); | ||
println!("body: {}", content.body); | ||
} | ||
let content = Content { title: "Rust", body: "is great!" }; | ||
let future = create(content); | ||
block_on(future); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Specify desired lifetime of parameter `content` or indicate the anonymous | ||
lifetime like `content: Content<'_>`. The anonymous lifetime tells the Rust | ||
compiler that `content` is only needed until create function is done with | ||
it's execution. | ||
|
||
The `implicit elision` meaning the omission of suggested lifetime that is | ||
`pub async fn create<'a>(content: Content<'a>) {}` is not allowed here as | ||
lifetime of the `content` can differ from current context: | ||
|
||
```ignore (needs futures dependency) | ||
async fn create(content: Content<'_>) { // ok! | ||
println!("title: {}", content.title); | ||
println!("body: {}", content.body); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Know more about lifetime elision in this [chapter][lifetime-elision] and a | ||
chapter on lifetimes can be found [here][lifetimes]. | ||
