Threads + callbacks + [variable] does not live long enough

[sinasalek]

I'm trying to pass a string to a crossbeam channel that is called via a cross thread callback. apparently rust doesn't like this and throws an error. i probably can fix it using 'static but the text i'm not sure if that is the right way of doing it since i only want to move it to .send. any idea?

	use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;
use crossbeam::channel::{unbounded, Sender};

type CallbackType = Box<dyn Fn(String) + Send + Sync + 'static>;

fn callback_container(callback: &CallbackType) {
	callback("Deep in thread".to_string());
}

fn relay(callback: CallbackType) {
	let mut planner = periodic::Planner::new();
	planner.add(
		move || callback_container(&callback),
		periodic::After::new(Duration::from_secs(5)),
	);
	planner.start();
	drop(planner)
}

fn mycallback(text: String, sender: &Sender<&'static str>) {
	sender.send(&text);
}

fn main() {
	let (sender, receiver) = unbounded();
	let sender2 = sender.clone();
	thread::spawn(move || {
		sender2.send("level 1");
		relay(Box::new(move | text: String | mycallback(text, &sender2)));
	});
	thread::spawn(move || {
		loop {
			println!("{}", receiver.recv().unwrap()); // Received immediately
		}
	});
	loop {
		thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(2)); // block for two seconds
	}
}

You should make the item type in the channel String instead of &'static str. The static string slice type can only be used with immutable global constants such as string literals.

Thanks that did it
