In Rust, nesting method calls with both require `&mut` access to `self`
produces a borrow-check error:
error[E0499]: cannot borrow `*self` as mutable more than once at a time
--> src/lib.rs:7:14
|
7 | self.foo(self.bar());
| ---------^^^^^^^^^^-
| | | |
| | | second mutable borrow occurs here
| | first borrow later used by call
| first mutable borrow occurs here
That's because Rust has a left-to-right evaluation order, and the method
receiver is passed first. Thus, the argument to the method cannot then
mutate `self`.
There's an easy solution to this error: just extract a local variable
for the inner argument:
let tmp = self.bar();
self.foo(tmp);
However, the error doesn't give any suggestion of how to solve the
problem. As a result, new users may assume that it's impossible to
express their code correctly and get stuck.
This commit adds a (non-structured) suggestion to extract a local
variable for the inner argument to solve the error. The suggestion uses
heuristics that eliminate most false positives, though there are a few
false negatives (cases where the suggestion should be emitted but is
not). Those other cases can be implemented in a future change.
