In Rust, lifetime specifiers are crucial for managing references and ensuring that data referenced by a pointer isn’t deallocated as long as it’s needed. Lifetime specifiers aid Rust’s borrow checker in ensuring memory safety by explicitly defining how long references within structs, enums, or functions are valid. This is especially important when dealing with non-‘static lifetimes, or data that might not live for the entire duration of the program. Below, I’ll explain how you can a...
