取得 and_then 中 rust 未来的闭包参数的所有权

Question

I am trying to read all content from a file into a vector using the async rust api:

    let mut content : Vec<u8> = vec![];
    let f = tokio::fs::File::open("myfilecontent")
        .and_then(|mut myfile| {
            myfile.read_buf(&mut content)
        });
    f.await;

But I keep getting this error: error[E0515]: cannot return value referencing function parameter `myfile`

Which sounds reasonable, because the future returned by the closure must keep a reference to the file, but as this closure is the only user of the file it could take ownership. How can I convince rust to do the right thing?

You can use an async move block like so:

use futures::TryFutureExt;
use tokio::io::AsyncReadExt;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut content: Vec<u8> = vec![];

    let f = tokio::fs::File::open("myfilecontent").and_then(
        |mut myfile| async move { myfile.read_buf(&mut content).await },
    );

    f.await?;

    Ok(())
}

or skip and_then and go straight for .await :

use tokio::io::AsyncReadExt;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut content: Vec<u8> = vec![];

    let mut myfile = tokio::fs::File::open("myfilecontent").await?;
    myfile.read_buf(&mut content).await?;

    Ok(())
}
