From 782c52a9240e7657fa813dcb141f5c5f4b308a25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zach Pomerantz Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:53:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Removed doubled wording. The guide previously stated: > The compiler will automatically convert a box box point to a reference like &point. This fixes the doubled word `box`, so the statement reads > The compiler will automatically convert a box point to a reference like &point. The code it is referring to is `compute_distance(&on_the_stack, on_the_heap);`, so a single `box` is appropriate. --- src/doc/guide-lifetimes.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/doc/guide-lifetimes.md b/src/doc/guide-lifetimes.md index 65f37031674c..55bea362e9bf 100644 --- a/src/doc/guide-lifetimes.md +++ b/src/doc/guide-lifetimes.md @@ -78,7 +78,7 @@ value.

This is another form of borrowing; in this case, the contents of the owned box are being lent out.
