Hi, This is a very interesting discussion. I'm also new to the concept of lifetime parameters, but as a frustrated longtime C++ programmer, I appreciate the concept. Unfortunately, having studied these pages: http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/tutorial-borrowed-ptr.html#returning-borrowed-pointers http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/tutorial-borrowed-ptr.html#named-lifetimes http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2012/12/30/lifetime-notation/ http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2013/01/15/lifetime-notation-redux/ I still find myself no closer to understanding what `B<'c, 'd, 'e>` would practically mean, nor how it would be realistically used. Would you be able to clarify? Thanks, jb _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
