- jfecher 4y agoAuthor here, that is the purpose lifetime inference is meant to serve. It automatically extends lifetimes of `ref`s so that they are long enough. A key advantage of these is avoiding lifetime annotations in code, at the cost of some lack of control since the lifetime is increasingly handled for you. You can also opt out by using raw pointer types though and easily segfault with those.
