Borrowed Value Does Not Live Long Enough Static

Rust borrowed value does not live long enough

What is lifetime?

In Rust, every variable has a lifetime, which is the period of time during which the variable is valid. The lifetime of a variable is determined by the scope in which it is declared. For example, a variable declared in a function has a lifetime that lasts until the function returns.

What is a borrowed value?

A borrowed value is a reference to another value. The lifetime of a borrowed value is the same as the lifetime of the value that it references.

What does it mean when the compiler says that a borrowed value does not live long enough?

When the compiler says that a borrowed value does not live long enough, it means that the lifetime of the borrowed value is shorter than the lifetime of the value that it references. This can happen if you try to use a borrowed value after the value that it references has been destroyed.

How to fix the "borrowed value does not live long enough" error

There are two ways to fix the "borrowed value does not live long enough" error:

• Increase the lifetime of the borrowed value.
• Decrease the lifetime of the value that the borrowed value references.
