Errors implementing using generics

I know I must be doing something boneheaded here, but I can't for the life of me see it. I'm trying to create a struct which wraps something which implements tokio.io.AsyncRead and something which implements tokio.io.AsyncWrite. Here's my code:

use std::pin::Pin;
use std::task::{Context, Poll};
use tokio::io::{AsyncRead, AsyncWrite, Error, Result};

struct AsyncReadWrite<In: AsyncRead, Out: AsyncWrite> {
    input: In,
    output: Out,
}

impl<In: AsyncRead, Out: AsyncWrite> AsyncRead for AsyncReadWrite<In, Out> {
    fn poll_read(self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context, buf: &mut [u8]) -> Poll<Result<usize>> {
        self.input.poll_read(cx, buf)
    }
}

impl<In: AsyncRead, Out: AsyncWrite> AsyncWrite for AsyncReadWrite<In, Out> {
    fn poll_write(self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context, buf: &[u8]) -> Poll<Result<usize>> {
        self.output.poll_write(cx, buf)
    }

    fn poll_flush(self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context) -> Poll<std::result::Result<(), Error>> {
        self.output.poll_flush(cx)
    }

    fn poll_shutdown(
        self: Pin<&mut Self>,
        cx: &mut Context,
    ) -> Poll<std::result::Result<(), Error>> {
        self.output.poll_shutdown(cx)
    }
}

What I get is the following errors:

error: aborting due to 4 previous errors

Basically, it's telling me to do exactly what I'm doing. What am I doing wrong here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Playground link: Rust Playground

Thank you in advance!

poll_read takes the receiver as Pin<&mut Self>, so In's impl would need to be passed a Pin<&mut In>. But when you write self.input.poll_read(...) there is no Pin<&mut In> that exists, just a &mut In.

std::pin - Rust covers this aspect of Pin and ways to proceed.

Doh! I knew I was missing something!

Works now! Thanks @dtolnay!!!
