Error code E0521

Borrowed data escapes outside of closure.

Erroneous code example:

#![allow(unused)] fn main() { let mut list: Vec<&str> = Vec::new(); let _add = |el: &str| { list.push(el); // error: `el` escapes the closure body here }; }

A type annotation of a closure parameter implies a new lifetime declaration. Consider to drop it, the compiler is reliably able to infer them.

#![allow(unused)] fn main() { let mut list: Vec<&str> = Vec::new(); let _add = |el| { list.push(el); }; }

See the Closure type inference and annotation and Lifetime elision sections of the Book for more details.
