`box try!(MyStruct::new()) as Box<MyTrait>` no longer works without being put on separate lines

[daboross]

This code worked on the nightly from the 18th, and is broken by the nightly on the 21st.

Last nightly working version: rustc 0.13.0-nightly (2a231594c 2014-12-18 12:21:57 +0000)
First nightly broken version: rustc 0.13.0-nightly (cc19e3380 2014-12-20 20:00:36 +0000)

Here's the full error:

Here's the code producing the above error:

trait MyTrait {}

struct MyStruct;

impl MyStruct {
    fn new() -> Result<MyStruct, String> {
        return Ok(MyStruct);
    }
}

impl MyTrait for MyStruct {}

/// This used to work, and doesn't work anymore
fn get1() -> Result<Box<MyTrait + 'static>, String> {
    let boxed = box try!(MyStruct::new()) as Box<MyTrait + 'static>;

    return Ok(boxed);
}

/// This works fine
fn get2() -> Result<Box<MyTrait + 'static>, String> {
    let thing = box try!(MyStruct::new());
    let boxed = thing as Box<MyTrait + 'static>;

    return Ok(boxed);
}

fn main() {}

related to #20093 and might be fixed by #20099

I don’t think this is related to #20093. It’s not a parsing issue: it gets past the parsing stage without issues, and adding delimiters ({}) doesn’t affect it. Also, #20093 only affects macro invocations that begin statements.

[daboross]

I don't think it's related to #20099, as it fails even when using a match statement instead of try!().

trait MyTrait {}

struct MyStruct;

impl MyStruct {
    fn new() -> Result<MyStruct, String> {
        return Ok(MyStruct);
    }
}

impl MyTrait for MyStruct {}

fn get() -> Result<(), String> {

    box match MyStruct::new() {
        Ok(v) => v,
        Err(e) => return Err(e),
    } as Box<MyTrait>;

    return Ok(());
}

fn main() {
}

Closing as this seems to work in the latest nightly! (rustc 0.13.0-nightly (96a3c7c6a 2014-12-23 22:21:10 +0000))
