A closure or generator was constructed that references its own type.

Erroneous example:

```compile-fail,E0644
fn fix<F>(f: &F)
  where F: Fn(&F)
{
  f(&f);
}

fn main() {
  fix(&|y| {
    // Here, when `x` is called, the parameter `y` is equal to `x`.
  });
}
```

Rust does not permit a closure to directly reference its own type,
either through an argument (as in the example above) or by capturing
itself through its environment. This restriction helps keep closure
inference tractable.

The easiest fix is to rewrite your closure into a top-level function,
or into a method. In some cases, you may also be able to have your
closure call itself by capturing a `&Fn()` object or `fn()` pointer
that refers to itself. That is permitting, since the closure would be
invoking itself via a virtual call, and hence does not directly
reference its own *type*.
