When encountering an used moved value where the previous move happened in a `match` or `if let` pattern, suggest using `ref`. Fix rust-lang#63988. When encountering a `&mut` value that is used in multiple iterations of a loop, suggest reborrowing it with `&mut *`. Fix rust-lang#62112.

Spawned off of #45142
Consider the following code (play):
Today, this yields the diagnostic:
We could do better. For example, the diagnostic could additionally say:
Background:
The compiler tries hard to auto-inject
&mut
-reborrows when it makes sense; as a way to create a fresh&mut
reference to pass into the method invocation, and avoid moving the pre-existing&mut
reference.But there are times, often involving generic code, when it cannot automatically inject a reborrow. (After all, there are cases where the intent is to move the borrow into some place whose dynamic extent outlives that of the method invocation itself; and the static analysis cannot tell if this was the case at the point where it is deciding whether to insert an
&mut
-reborrow or not.)This can lead to a diagnostic for the user telling them that they have a used of a moved value.
But new-comers to Rust do not always know about the option of putting in a
&mut
-reborrow themselves.Our diagnostics could help them here. Even though we choose to not attempt to auto-inject the auto-reborrow in the compiler itself, our diagnostics have enough information about the method signature and the invocation to suggest to the user that they write out the
&mut *value
themselves.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
