New upstream version 1.47.0+dfsg1

[rustc.git] / src / librustc_error_codes / error_codes / E0424.md

The `self` keyword was used inside of an associated function without a "`self`
receiver" parameter.

Erroneous code example:

```compile_fail,E0424
struct Foo;

impl Foo {
    // `bar` is a method, because it has a receiver parameter.
    fn bar(&self) {}

    // `foo` is not a method, because it has no receiver parameter.
    fn foo() {
        self.bar(); // error: `self` value is a keyword only available in
                    //        methods with a `self` parameter
    }
}
```

The `self` keyword can only be used inside methods, which are associated
functions (functions defined inside of a `trait` or `impl` block) that have a
`self` receiver as its first parameter, like `self`, `&self`, `&mut self` or
`self: &mut Pin<Self>` (this last one is an example of an ["abitrary `self`
type"](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44874)).

Check if the associated function's parameter list should have contained a `self`
receiver for it to be a method, and add it if so. Example:

```
struct Foo;

impl Foo {
    fn bar(&self) {}

    fn foo(self) { // `foo` is now a method.
        self.bar(); // ok!
    }
}
```
