struct Concrete(u32);
impl Concrete {
fn m(self: &Box<Self>) -> &u32 {
&self.0
}
}
resulted in a confusing error.
impl Concrete {
fn n(self: &Box<&Self>) -> &u32 {
&self.0
}
}
resulted in no error or warning, despite apparent ambiguity over the elided
lifetime.
This commit changes two aspects of the behavior.
Previously, when examining the self type, we considered lifetimes only if they
were immediately adjacent to Self. We now consider lifetimes anywhere in the
self type.
Secondly, if more than one lifetime is discovered in the self type, we
disregard it as a possible lifetime elision candidate.
This is a compatibility break, and in fact has required some changes to tests
which assumed the earlier behavior.
