@@ -703,7 +703,7 @@ As we already saw in this post, the [`Future::poll`] method uses pinning in form
fn poll(self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context) -> Poll<Self::Output>
```
The reason that this method takes `self: Pin<&mut Self>` instead of the normal `&mut self` is that future instances created from async/await are often self-referential, as we saw [above][self-ref-async-await]. By wrapping `Self` into `Pin` and letting the compiler opt-out of `Unpin` for self-referentual futures generated from async/await, it is guaranteed that the futures are not moved in memory between `poll` calls. This ensures that all internal references are still valid.
