async_closure: error: implementation of AsyncFnOnce is not general enough

[Jacherr]

I'm not sure if this is really a bug (or perhaps a duplicate issue of another bug). However, I can't see any reason why this shouldn't work.

I tried this code:

#![feature(async_closure)]

fn assert_send<T: Send>(_: T) {}

#[derive(Clone)]
struct Ctxt<'a>(&'a ());

async fn commit_if_ok<'a>(ctxt: &mut Ctxt<'a>, f: impl async FnOnce(&mut Ctxt<'a>)) {
    f(&mut ctxt.clone()).await;
}

fn operation(mut ctxt: Ctxt<'_>) {
    assert_send(async {
        commit_if_ok(&mut ctxt, async |_| todo!()).await;
    });
}

fn main() {}

I expected to see this happen: Code compiles successfully

Instead, this happened: Compile error:

error: implementation of `AsyncFnOnce` is not general enough
  --> src/lib.rs:13:5

   = note: `{async closure@src/lib.rs:14:33: 14:42}` must implement `AsyncFnOnce<(&mut Ctxt<'1>,)>`, for any two lifetimes `'0` and `'1`...
   = note: ...but it actually implements `AsyncFnOnce<(&mut Ctxt<'_>,)>`

error: could not compile `playground` (lib) due to 1 previous error

actually this has nothing to do with async closures

this is one of many issues having to do with async, higher ranked bounds, and Send/Sync :( #110338

We discussed this in the async meeting today. As CE said, we think this is related to:
