| 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! |
| ``` |
