从 trait 方法返回对结构字段的可变引用时,如何修复生命周期不匹配?



这是我试图返回对结构的字段的可变引用。

pub trait Objective {
fn get_children<'a>(&'a mut self) -> &'_ mut Vec<&'_ mut Box<dyn Objective>>;
fn get_parent(&'_ mut self) -> &'_ mut Box<dyn Objective>;
fn update(&'_ self) -> ();
}
// #[derive(Objective)]
pub struct Object<'a> {
children: Vec<&'a mut Box<dyn Objective>>,
parent: &'a mut Box<dyn Objective>,
}
impl<'a> Objective for Object<'a> {
fn get_children(&'a mut self) -> &'_ mut Vec<&'_ mut Box<dyn Objective>> {
return &mut self.children;
}
fn get_parent(&'_ mut self) -> &'_ mut Box<dyn Objective> {
return self.parent;
}
fn update(&'_ self) -> () {}
}

寿命有问题。以下是编译器给出的错误:

error[E0308]: method not compatible with trait

|     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

这是我之前的尝试,我没有明确指定生存期:

pub trait Objective {
fn get_children(&'_ mut self) -> &'_ mut Vec<&'_ mut Box<dyn Objective>>;
fn get_parent(&'_ mut self) -> &'_ mut Box<dyn Objective>;
fn update(&'_ self) -> ();
}
// #[derive(Objective)]
pub struct Object<'a> {
children: Vec<&'a mut Box<dyn Objective>>,
parent: &'a mut Box<dyn Objective>,
}
impl Objective for Object<'_> {
fn get_children(&'_ mut self) -> &'_ mut Vec<&'_ mut Box<dyn Objective>> {
return &mut self.children;
}
fn get_parent(&'_ mut self) -> &'_ mut Box<dyn Objective> {
return self.parent;
}
fn update(&'_ self) -> () {}
}

我也得到了一个类似的错误:

error[E0308]: mismatched types

|
15 |         return &mut self.children;
|                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ lifetime mismatch

15 | |         return &mut self.children;
16 | |     }
| |_____^
note: ...does not necessarily outlive the lifetime `'_` as defined on the impl at 13:27
--> src/lib.rs:13:27
|
13 | impl Objective for Object<'_> {
|                           ^^

我该如何解决这个问题?

指定特征的生存期,它就起作用了:

pub trait Objective<'a> {
fn get_children(&mut self) -> &mut Vec<&'a mut Box<dyn Objective<'a>>>;
fn get_parent(&mut self) -> &mut Box<dyn Objective<'a>>;
fn update(&self) -> ();
}
// #[derive(Objective)]
pub struct Object<'a> {
children: Vec<&'a mut Box<dyn Objective<'a>>>,
parent: Box<dyn Objective<'a>>,
}
impl<'a> Objective<'a> for Object<'a> {
fn get_children(&mut self) -> &mut Vec<&'a mut Box<dyn Objective<'a>>> {
&mut self.children
}
fn get_parent(&'_ mut self) -> &mut Box<dyn Objective<'a>> {
&mut self.parent
}
fn update(&'_ self) -> () {}
}

通过指定Objective的生存期,我们可以确保实现者将返回一个由可变引用组成的Vec,该引用满足与特性所需的生存期相同的生存期要求。
