I'm working on https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/main/src/rust/engine/ui/src/console_ui.rs

I want to have the

Instance

also contain either the

MultiProgress

or a reference to it to be used in

render()

.

But the object is moved inside the

multi_progress_task

It's been a while since I wore my C++ hat, and Rust seems to be a bit more stringent with references/lifetimes so I'm floundering

I'm pretty sure I need to sparn the task after I move the MultiProgress object, or else how would the reference be valid. Seems like a two-phase initialization problem 😭

Arc

is one such smart pointer

and if the accesses need to occur from multiple threads, you might see

Arc<Mutex<T>>

as a pattern
