A parameter type is missing an explicit lifetime bound and may not live long enough.
Erroneous code example:
// This won't compile because the applicable impl of // `SomeTrait` (below) requires that `T: 'a`, but the struct does // not have a matching where-clause. struct Foo<'a, T> { foo: <T as SomeTrait<'a>>::Output, } trait SomeTrait<'a> { type Output; } impl<'a, T> SomeTrait<'a> for T where T: 'a, { type Output = u32; }
The type definition contains some field whose type requires an outlives annotation. Outlives annotations (e.g., T: 'a) are used to guarantee that all the data in T is valid for at least the lifetime 'a. This scenario most commonly arises when the type contains an associated type reference like <T as SomeTrait<'a>>::Output, as shown in the previous code.
There, the where clause T: 'a that appears on the impl is not known to be satisfied on the struct. To make this example compile, you have to add a where-clause like T: 'a to the struct definition:
struct Foo<'a, T>
where
T: 'a,
{
foo: <T as SomeTrait<'a>>::Output
}
trait SomeTrait<'a> {
type Output;
}
impl<'a, T> SomeTrait<'a> for T
where
T: 'a,
{
type Output = u32;
}
