Currently this code will trigger
trivally_copy_pass_by_ref
:If we change the
outer
to be pass-by-value it will not live long enough for us to return the reference. The above example is trivial but I've hit this in real code that either returns a reference to either the argument or in toself
.This suppresses the
trivally_copy_pass_by_ref
lint if we return a reference and it has the same lifetime as the argument. This will likely miss complex cases with multiple lifetimes bounded by each other but it should cover the majority of cases with little effort.Fixes #2946
