Hi,

I am trying to get this program working:

extern "C" { fn abort (); }

pub struct H
{
  l: u32,
}

impl H
{
  fn p (&mut self) -> u32
  {
    self.l -= 1;
    self.l
  }
}

fn main ()
{
  let mut h = H { l: 11 }; 
  let eleven = h.l; 
  let ten = h.p (); 
  if ten + 1 != eleven { unsafe { abort (); } } 
  let h2 = H { l: ten }; 
  if h.l != h2.l { unsafe { abort (); } } 
}

This doesn't currently compile:

$ gcc/gccrs -Bgcc -g p.rs 
p.rs:12:5: error: invalid left-hand side of assignment
   12 |     self.l -= 1;
      |     ^

But this isn't too hard to solve:

diff --git a/gcc/rust/resolve/rust-ast-verify-assignee.h 
b/gcc/rust/resolve/rust-ast-verify-assignee.h

I am not sure whether this is a good implementation of the
VerifyAsignee visitor for a PathInExpression. What exactly is the goal
of this visitor?

But with the above simple fix, it compiles! And it actually seems to
mostly work. The implementation method is called, it gets its own
field, substracts the value and correctly returns it!

But... then it still aborts on the second check.  The method was
supposed to adjust the given self (H), but it is not given a mutable
reference, it gets a copy...

On irc Philip suggested this is probably
https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs/issues/241

But I must admit I don't fully understand what really needs to be done
here or if the fact that this is a &mut self makes it different from a
&self argument.

Cheers,

Mark
