The type does not fulfill the required lifetime.
Erroneous code example:
use std::sync::Mutex;
struct MyString<'a> {
data: &'a str,
}
fn i_want_static_closure<F>(a: F)
where F: Fn() + 'static {}
fn print_string<'a>(s: Mutex<MyString<'a>>) {
i_want_static_closure(move || { // error: this closure has lifetime 'a
// rather than 'static
println!("{}", s.lock().unwrap().data);
});
}In this example, the closure does not satisfy the 'static lifetime constraint.
To fix this error, you need to double check the lifetime of the type. Here, we
can fix this problem by giving s a static lifetime:
use std::sync::Mutex;
struct MyString<'a> {
data: &'a str,
}
fn i_want_static_closure<F>(a: F)
where F: Fn() + 'static {}
fn print_string(s: Mutex<MyString<'static>>) {
i_want_static_closure(move || { // ok!
println!("{}", s.lock().unwrap().data);
});
}
