Description
I tried this code:
#![feature(impl_trait_in_fn_trait_return)]
#![feature(impl_trait_in_assoc_type)]
use std::future::Future;
trait Kind {
type Func<I, R>;
fn stub<I, R>() -> Self::Func<I, R>;
}
struct A;
impl Kind for A {
type Func<I, R> = Box<dyn Fn(I) -> impl Future<Output = R>>;
fn stub<I, R>() -> Self::Func<I, R> {
Box::new(|_| async { unimplemented!() })
}
}
struct Owner<K: Kind> {
k: K,
}
impl<K: Kind> Owner<K> {
fn run<I, R>(&self, _func: K::Func<I, R>) {
// do stuff with func
}
}
fn main() {
let o = Owner { k: A };
o.run(Box::new(|_| async {
// Do stuff
}));
}
This almost compiles. If you remove the o.run call it otherwise compiles. It seems that rust isn't able to determine that the async block impls the Future trait in main (but does work in the stub!). Think it's related to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/106527. cc @compiler-errors

Research direction
Start by compiling the reproduction in src/main.rs on a nightly compiler, comparing the behavior with and without the o.run call. Read the interaction between impl_trait_in_fn_trait_return, impl_trait_in_assoc_type, and the related issue #106527; done means the shown call accepts the async closure without the E0308 mismatch.
