# `impl_trait_in_bindings`

The tracking issue for this feature is: #63065

The `impl_trait_in_bindings` feature gate lets you use `impl Trait` syntax in `let`, `static`, and `const` bindings.

A simple example is:

    #![feature(impl_trait_in_bindings)]

    use std::fmt::Debug;

    fn main() {
        let a: impl Debug + Clone = 42;
        let b = a.clone();
        println!("{:?}", b); // prints `42`
    }

Note however that because the types of `a` and `b` are opaque in the above example, calling inherent methods or methods outside of the specified traits (e.g., `a.abs()` or `b.abs()`) is not allowed, and yields an error.
