To change `Value<'a>` to `Value<'v>` in the return type, you need to ensure that: | |
1. **The struct has a lifetime parameter `'v`**: The struct implementing this method must be defined with a lifetime `'v`, e.g., `struct MyStruct<'v> { ... }`. | |
2. **`'v` outlives `'a`**: The lifetime `'v` of the `Value`s must outlive the reference lifetime `'a` (i.e., `'v: 'a`). This ensures the `Value`s remain valid for the duration of the returned slice. | |
Here's the corrected signature if your struct is `MyStruct<'v>`: | |
```rust | |
impl<'v> MyStruct<'v> { | |
pub fn peek_frame<'a>(&'a self) -> Option<&'a [Value<'v>]> | |
where | |
'v: 'a, // Ensure 'v outlives 'a | |
{ | |
// ... implementation ... | |
} | |
} | |
``` | |
### Key Points: | |
- **Struct Lifetime**: The struct must carry the `'v` lifetime (e.g., `MyStruct<'v>`). | |
- **Lifetime Relationship**: Add `where 'v: 'a` to enforce that `'v` outlives the reference's lifetime `'a`. | |
- **Validity**: The `Value`s in the slice must be borrowed from data owned by the struct (with lifetime `'v`), not from the `&'a self` reference. | |
If these conditions aren’t met, the change will not compile. |
