Context for actual rust programmersI was having massive beef with the rust compiler yesterday, every cargo check takes 20 seconds.

And then look at the three functions below, only one of them are Send, if you know why, please let me know.

(Note: value that is not Send cannot be held across an await point, and Box is not Send)

async fn one() {
    let res: Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> = do_stuff();
    if let Err(err) = res {
        let content = err.to_string();
        let _ = do_stuff(content).await;
    }
}

async fn two() {
    let res: Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> = do_stuff();
    let content = if let Err(err) = res {
        Some(err.to_string())
    } else {
        None
    };
    drop(res);
    if let Some(content) = content {
        let _ = do_stuff(content).await;
    }
}

async fn three() {
    let content = {
        let res: Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> = do_stuff();
        if let Err(err) = res {
            Some(err.to_string())
        } else {
            None
        }
    };
    if let Some(content) = content {
        let _ = do_stuff(content).await;
    }
}

output makes no sense

C++ template errors enter the room

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Template errors make sense as long as you carefully read the entire error, but nobody has ever actually done that.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago

You are saying that the error messages terminate at some point?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

Well, yeah, templates won't recurse beyond 1,024 levels.

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That's an implementation-defined behaviour.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I like to pretend that gcc is the only compiler
