Description
I was trying to implement a generic SelfBorrowingClosure based on https://users.rust-lang.org/t/why-closure-cannot-return-a-reference-to-data-moved-into-closure/72655/6 but got a problem compiling the following piece of code:
pub trait LifetimizedOutputFamily {
type Output<'a>
where
Self::Output<'a>: 'a;
}
pub struct RefTFamily<T>(core::marker::PhantomData<*const T>);
impl<T> LifetimizedOutputFamily for RefTFamily<T>
{
type Output<'a> = &'a T
where
T: 'a;
}
pub struct SelfBorrowingClosure<State, F, OutputFam>
where
OutputFam: LifetimizedOutputFamily,
F: Fn(&'_ State) -> <OutputFam as LifetimizedOutputFamily>::Output<'_>,
{
pub state: State,
pub call: F,
pub output_family: core::marker::PhantomData<*const OutputFam>,
}
impl<State, F, OutputFam> SelfBorrowingClosure<State, F, OutputFam>
where
OutputFam: LifetimizedOutputFamily,
F: Fn(&'_ State) -> <OutputFam as LifetimizedOutputFamily>::Output<'_>,
{
pub fn new(state: State, call: F) -> Self {
Self {
state,
call,
output_family: core::marker::PhantomData,
}
}
pub fn call(&self) -> <OutputFam as LifetimizedOutputFamily>::Output<'_> {
(self.call)(&self.state)
}
}
Minimal Reproducible Example (MRE):
pub trait LifetimizedOutputFamily {
type Output<'a>
where
Self::Output<'a>: 'a;
}
pub struct RefTFamily<T>(core::marker::PhantomData<*const T>);
impl<T> LifetimizedOutputFamily for RefTFamily<T>
{
type Output<'a> = &'a T
where
T: 'a;
}
Error:
error[E0275]: overflow evaluating the requirement `<RefTFamily<T> as LifetimizedOutputFamily>::Output<'a> == _`

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Minimal Reproducible Example in src/lib.rs and inspect the compiler output at the reported type alias line. Trace how the LifetimizedOutputFamily implementation evaluates Output<'a>; done means establishing and implementing the appropriate compiler behavior for this overflow, with regression coverage if the relevant test location is identified.
