Closure inference fails to infer that move is required when pattern matching

[nikomatsakis]

See this example, which fails to compile:

fn foo<F>(f: F)
    where F: FnOnce()
{
}

fn main() {
    let x = Some(vec![1, 2, 3]);
    foo(|| {
        match x {
            Some(y) => { }
            None => { }
        }
    });
}

Error:

<anon>:9:15: 9:16 error: cannot move out of captured outer variable in an `FnOnce` closure

A-const-fn?

[durka]

Do you just mean the help message is wrong, or it should have automatically created a move closure?

[nikomatsakis]

@durka neither. Normally, even for non-move closures, we infer when particular variables are used in the body and we move just those variables. For some reason, that is not triggering in this particular case.

Might be duplicate of #26139?

Related example from #26139:

struct Name(String);

fn apply<F>(f: F) where
    F: FnOnce() {

    f()
}

fn main() {
    let n = Name(String::new());
    let consume = || {
        let Name(i) = n;
    };

    apply(consume);
}
