What happened is that we created a self-referential struct, initialized it so that it took a pointer to itself, and then moved it. Let’s take a closer look: You’ve now

Improving our example 3 – this is… not… good… – Coroutines, Self-Referential Structs, and Pinning
Pretend you haven’t read this section title and enjoy the fact that our previous example compiled and showed the correct result. I think our coroutine implementation is so good now

Yes, I know we could have chosen another way of doing this since we can take a reference to buffer everywhere we need to instead of storing it in its

Let’s set everything up for our next version of this example: Note You can find this example in this book’s GitHub repository in the ch10/b-coroutines-references folder. This time, we’ll learn

Futures created by async/await in Rust store this data in a slightly more efficient manner. In our example, we store every variable in a separate struct since I think it’s
