The size for values of type `dyn std::error::Error + Send` cannot be known at compilation time

[Crispy13]

Hi.

I'm trying to make thread pool which can give the Result<> returns of the sub threads.
But I can't compile due to the following error.

Codes:

pub struct ThreadPool2<'scope, T, E>
where
    T: Send + 'scope,
    E: Error + Send + 'scope,
{
    name: &'scope str,
    res: Option<Vec<Result<T, E>>>,
}

let aa: ThreadPool2<(), Box<dyn Error + Send>> = ThreadPool2 {
            name:"S",
            res:None,
        };

Error:

error[E0277]: the size for values of type `dyn std::error::Error + Send` cannot be known at compilation time
   --> src/lib.rs:300:17

...
284 |     E: Error + Send + 'scope,
    |        ^^^^^ required by this bound in `ThreadPool2`

How could I fix this?

Any help would be appreciated.

You're running into Issue 60759. You could remove the Error bound (you don't need any of the bounds on the struct itself, and will typically just have to repeat them elsewhere). Or you could newtype Box<dyn Error + Send> and implement what you need. Or you could use Arc<dyn Error + Send + Sync>.
