The coerced type does not outlive the value being coerced to.
|
||||
|
||||
Example of erroneous code:
|
||||
|
||||
```compile_fail,E0476
|
||||
#![feature(coerce_unsized)]
|
||||
#![feature(unsize)]
|
||||
|
||||
use std::marker::Unsize;
|
||||
use std::ops::CoerceUnsized;
|
||||
|
||||
// error: lifetime of the source pointer does not outlive lifetime bound of the
|
||||
// object type
|
||||
impl<'a, 'b, T, S> CoerceUnsized<&'a T> for &'b S where S: Unsize<T> {}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
During a coercion, the "source pointer" (the coerced type) did not outlive the
|
||||
"object type" (value being coerced to). In the above example, `'b` is not a
|
||||
subtype of `'a`. This error can currently only be encountered with the unstable
|
||||
`CoerceUnsized` trait which allows custom coercions of unsized types behind a
|
||||
smart pointer to be implemented.
