Description
This test case which came up in discussions of #3166 revealed a bug in our GLB computation. It successfully compiles but should not. The expected error is in the function set_desc()
, which combines &self
with &
---this should yield a lifetime of only the body of the function itself, since that is the only lifetime that the two lifetime parameters are guaranteed to have in common, but it currently yields &
. Wrong!
mod argparse {
use std;
import std::map;
import either::{either, left, right};
struct Flag {
name: &str;
desc: &str;
max_count: uint;
mut value: uint;
}
fn flag(name: &str, desc: &str) -> Flag {
Flag { name: name, desc: desc, max_count: 1, value: 0 }
}
impl Flag {
fn set_desc(self, s: &str) -> Flag {
Flag {
name: self.name,
desc: s,
max_count: self.max_count,
value: self.value
}
}
}
}
fn main () {
let f : argparse::Flag = argparse::flag(~"flag", ~"My flag");
let updated_flag = f.set_desc(~"My new flag");
assert updated_flag.desc == "My new flag";
}
I have a fix underway.
