| A type parameter which references `Self` in its default value was not specified. | |
| Erroneous code example: | |
| ```compile_fail,E0393 | |
| trait A<T = Self> {} | |
| fn together_we_will_rule_the_galaxy(son: &dyn A) {} | |
| // error: the type parameter `T` must be explicitly specified | |
| ``` | |
| A trait object is defined over a single, fully-defined trait. With a regular | |
| default parameter, this parameter can just be instantiated in. However, if the | |
| default parameter is `Self`, the trait changes for each concrete type; i.e. | |
| `i32` will be expected to implement `A<i32>`, `bool` will be expected to | |
| implement `A<bool>`, etc... These types will not share an implementation of a | |
| fully-defined trait; instead they share implementations of a trait with | |
| different parameters instantiated in for each implementation. This is | |
| irreconcilable with what we need to make a trait object work, and is thus | |
| disallowed. Making the trait concrete by explicitly specifying the value of the | |
| defaulted parameter will fix this issue. Fixed example: | |
| ``` | |
| trait A<T = Self> {} | |
| fn together_we_will_rule_the_galaxy(son: &dyn A<i32>) {} // Ok! | |
| ``` |
