rust/tests/ui/nll/issue-45696-long-live-borrows-in-boxes.rs

// rust-lang/rust#45696: This test is checking that we can return
// mutable borrows owned by boxes even when the boxes are dropped.

// run-pass

// This function shows quite directly what is going on: We have a
// reborrow of contents within the box.
fn return_borrow_from_dropped_box_1(x: Box<&mut u32>) -> &mut u32 { &mut **x }

// This function is the way you'll probably see this in practice (the
// reborrow is now implicit).

// For the remaining tests we just add some fields or other
// indirection to ensure that the compiler isn't just special-casing
// the above `Box<&mut T>` as the only type that would work.

// Here we add a tuple of indirection between the box and the
// reference.
