| Recursion limit reached while creating drop-check rules. |
| |
| Example of erroneous code: |
| |
| ```compile_fail,E0320 |
| enum A<T> { |
| B, |
| C(T, Box<A<(T, T)>>) |
| } |
| |
| fn foo<T>() { |
| A::<T>::B; // error: overflow while adding drop-check rules for A<T> |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| The Rust compiler must be able to reason about how a type is [`Drop`]ped, and |
| by extension the types of its fields, to be able to generate the glue to |
| properly drop a value. The code example above shows a type where this inference |
| is impossible because it is recursive. Note that this is *not* the same as |
| [E0072](E0072.html), where a type has an infinite size; the type here has a |
| finite size but any attempt to `Drop` it would recurse infinitely. For more |
| information, read [the `Drop` docs](../std/ops/trait.Drop.html). |
| |
| It is not possible to define a type with recursive drop-check rules. All such |
| recursion must be removed. |
