// ./src/scope/lifetime/elision.md // `elided_input` and `annotated_input` essentially have identical signatures // because the lifetime of `elided_input` is inferred by the compiler: fn elided_input(x: &i32) { println!("`elided_input`: {}", x); } fn annotated_input<'a>(x: &'a i32) { println!("`annotated_input`: {}", x); } // Similarly, `elided_pass` and `annotated_pass` have identical signatures // because the lifetime is added implicitly to `elided_pass`: fn elided_pass(x: &i32) -> &i32 { x } fn annotated_pass<'a>(x: &'a i32) -> &'a i32 { x } fn part0() { let x = 3; elided_input(&x); annotated_input(&x); println!("`elided_pass`: {}", elided_pass(&x)); println!("`annotated_pass`: {}", annotated_pass(&x)); } pub fn main() { part0(); }
