Here, in the `return_it()` fn, we call with() but // with R bound to &int from the return_it. Meanwhile, with() // provides a value that is only good within its own stack frame. This // used to successfully compile because we failed to account for the // fact that fn(x: &int) rebound the region &. fn with(f: &fn(x: &int) -> R) -> R { f(&3) } fn return_it() -> &int { with(|o| o) //~ ERROR mismatched types //~^ ERROR reference is not valid outside of its lifetime } fn main() { let x = return_it(); debug!("foo=%d", *x); }
