E0001: r##"
#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
This error suggests that the expression arm corresponding to the noted pattern
will never be reached as for all possible values of the expression being
matched, one of the preceding patterns will match.
This means that perhaps some of the preceding patterns are too general, this
one is too specific or the ordering is incorrect.
For example, the following `match` block has too many arms:
```
match Some(0) {
Some(bar) => {/* ... */}
x => {/* ... */} // This handles the `None` case
_ => {/* ... */} // All possible cases have already been handled
}
```
`match` blocks have their patterns matched in order, so, for example, putting
a wildcard arm above a more specific arm will make the latter arm irrelevant.
Ensure the ordering of the match arm is correct and remove any superfluous
arms.
"##,
E0002: r##"
#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
This error indicates that an empty match expression is invalid because the type
it is matching on is non-empty (there exist values of this type). In safe code
it is impossible to create an instance of an empty type, so empty match
expressions are almost never desired. This error is typically fixed by adding
one or more cases to the match expression.
An example of an empty type is `enum Empty { }`. So, the following will work:
```
enum Empty {}
fn foo(x: Empty) {
match x {
// empty
}
}
```
However, this won't:
```compile_fail
fn foo(x: Option<String>) {
match x {
// empty
}
}
```
"##,
E0004: r##"
This error indicates that the compiler cannot guarantee a matching pattern for
one or more possible inputs to a match expression. Guaranteed matches are
required in order to assign values to match expressions, or alternatively,
determine the flow of execution. Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0004
enum Terminator {
HastaLaVistaBaby,
TalkToMyHand,
}
let x = Terminator::HastaLaVistaBaby;
match x { // error: non-exhaustive patterns: `HastaLaVistaBaby` not covered
Terminator::TalkToMyHand => {}
}
```
If you encounter this error you must alter your patterns so that every possible
value of the input type is matched. For types with a small number of variants
(like enums) you should probably cover all cases explicitly. Alternatively, the
underscore `_` wildcard pattern can be added after all other patterns to match
"anything else". Example:
```
enum Terminator {
HastaLaVistaBaby,
TalkToMyHand,
}
let x = Terminator::HastaLaVistaBaby;
match x {
Terminator::TalkToMyHand => {}
Terminator::HastaLaVistaBaby => {}
}
// or:
match x {
Terminator::TalkToMyHand => {}
_ => {}
}
```
"##,
E0005: r##"
Patterns used to bind names must be irrefutable, that is, they must guarantee
that a name will be extracted in all cases. Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0005
let x = Some(1);
let Some(y) = x;
// error: refutable pattern in local binding: `None` not covered
```
If you encounter this error you probably need to use a `match` or `if let` to
deal with the possibility of failure. Example:
```
let x = Some(1);
match x {
Some(y) => {
// do something
},
None => {}
}
// or:
if let Some(y) = x {
// do something
}
```
"##,
E0007: r##"
This error indicates that the bindings in a match arm would require a value to
be moved into more than one location, thus violating unique ownership. Code
like the following is invalid as it requires the entire `Option<String>` to be
moved into a variable called `op_string` while simultaneously requiring the
inner `String` to be moved into a variable called `s`.
```compile_fail,E0007
let x = Some("s".to_string());
match x {
op_string @ Some(s) => {}, // error: cannot bind by-move with sub-bindings
None => {},
}
```
See also the error E0303.
"##,
E0008: r##"
Names bound in match arms retain their type in pattern guards. As such, if a
name is bound by move in a pattern, it should also be moved to wherever it is
referenced in the pattern guard code. Doing so however would prevent the name
from being available in the body of the match arm. Consider the following:
```compile_fail,E0008
match Some("hi".to_string()) {
Some(s) if s.len() == 0 => {}, // use s.
_ => {},
}
```
The variable `s` has type `String`, and its use in the guard is as a variable of
type `String`. The guard code effectively executes in a separate scope to the
body of the arm, so the value would be moved into this anonymous scope and
therefore becomes unavailable in the body of the arm.
The problem above can be solved by using the `ref` keyword.
```
match Some("hi".to_string()) {
Some(ref s) if s.len() == 0 => {},
_ => {},
}
```
Though this example seems innocuous and easy to solve, the problem becomes clear
when it encounters functions which consume the value:
```compile_fail,E0008
struct A{}
impl A {
fn consume(self) -> usize {
0
}
}
fn main() {
let a = Some(A{});
match a {
Some(y) if y.consume() > 0 => {}
_ => {}
}
}
```
In this situation, even the `ref` keyword cannot solve it, since borrowed
content cannot be moved. This problem cannot be solved generally. If the value
can be cloned, here is a not-so-specific solution:
```
#[derive(Clone)]
struct A{}
impl A {
fn consume(self) -> usize {
0
}
}
fn main() {
let a = Some(A{});
match a{
Some(ref y) if y.clone().consume() > 0 => {}
_ => {}
}
}
```
If the value will be consumed in the pattern guard, using its clone will not
move its ownership, so the code works.
"##,
E0009: r##"
In a pattern, all values that don't implement the `Copy` trait have to be bound
the same way. The goal here is to avoid binding simultaneously by-move and
by-ref.
This limitation may be removed in a future version of Rust.
Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0009
struct X { x: (), }
let x = Some((X { x: () }, X { x: () }));
match x {
Some((y, ref z)) => {}, // error: cannot bind by-move and by-ref in the
// same pattern
None => panic!()
}
```
You have two solutions:
Solution #1: Bind the pattern's values the same way.
```
struct X { x: (), }
let x = Some((X { x: () }, X { x: () }));
match x {
Some((ref y, ref z)) => {},
// or Some((y, z)) => {}
None => panic!()
}
```
Solution #2: Implement the `Copy` trait for the `X` structure.
However, please keep in mind that the first solution should be preferred.
```
#[derive(Clone, Copy)]
struct X { x: (), }
let x = Some((X { x: () }, X { x: () }));
match x {
Some((y, ref z)) => {},
None => panic!()
}
```
"##,
E0030: r##"
When matching against a range, the compiler verifies that the range is
non-empty. Range patterns include both end-points, so this is equivalent to
requiring the start of the range to be less than or equal to the end of the
range.
For example:
```compile_fail
match 5u32 {
// This range is ok, albeit pointless.
1 ..= 1 => {}
// This range is empty, and the compiler can tell.
1000 ..= 5 => {}
}
```
"##,
E0158: r##"
`const` and `static` mean different things. A `const` is a compile-time
constant, an alias for a literal value. This property means you can match it
directly within a pattern.
The `static` keyword, on the other hand, guarantees a fixed location in memory.
This does not always mean that the value is constant. For example, a global
mutex can be declared `static` as well.
If you want to match against a `static`, consider using a guard instead:
```
static FORTY_TWO: i32 = 42;
match Some(42) {
Some(x) if x == FORTY_TWO => {}
_ => {}
}
```
"##,
E0162: r##"
#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
An if-let pattern attempts to match the pattern, and enters the body if the
match was successful. If the match is irrefutable (when it cannot fail to
match), use a regular `let`-binding instead. For instance:
```
struct Irrefutable(i32);
let irr = Irrefutable(0);
// This fails to compile because the match is irrefutable.
if let Irrefutable(x) = irr {
// This body will always be executed.
// ...
}
```
Try this instead:
```
struct Irrefutable(i32);
let irr = Irrefutable(0);
let Irrefutable(x) = irr;
println!("{}", x);
```
"##,
E0165: r##"
#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
A while-let pattern attempts to match the pattern, and enters the body if the
match was successful. If the match is irrefutable (when it cannot fail to
match), use a regular `let`-binding inside a `loop` instead. For instance:
```no_run
struct Irrefutable(i32);
let irr = Irrefutable(0);
// This fails to compile because the match is irrefutable.
while let Irrefutable(x) = irr {
// ...
}
```
Try this instead:
```no_run
struct Irrefutable(i32);
let irr = Irrefutable(0);
loop {
let Irrefutable(x) = irr;
// ...
}
```
"##,
E0170: r##"
Enum variants are qualified by default. For example, given this type:
```
enum Method {
GET,
POST,
}
```
You would match it using:
```
enum Method {
GET,
POST,
}
let m = Method::GET;
match m {
Method::GET => {},
Method::POST => {},
}
```
If you don't qualify the names, the code will bind new variables named "GET" and
"POST" instead. This behavior is likely not what you want, so `rustc` warns when
that happens.
Qualified names are good practice, and most code works well with them. But if
you prefer them unqualified, you can import the variants into scope:
```
use Method::*;
enum Method { GET, POST }
# fn main() {}
```
If you want others to be able to import variants from your module directly, use
`pub use`:
```
pub use Method::*;
pub enum Method { GET, POST }
# fn main() {}
```
"##,
E0297: r##"
#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
Patterns used to bind names must be irrefutable. That is, they must guarantee
that a name will be extracted in all cases. Instead of pattern matching the
loop variable, consider using a `match` or `if let` inside the loop body. For
instance:
```compile_fail,E0005
let xs : Vec<Option<i32>> = vec![Some(1), None];
// This fails because `None` is not covered.
for Some(x) in xs {
// ...
}
```
Match inside the loop instead:
```
let xs : Vec<Option<i32>> = vec![Some(1), None];
for item in xs {
match item {
Some(x) => {},
None => {},
}
}
```
Or use `if let`:
```
let xs : Vec<Option<i32>> = vec![Some(1), None];
for item in xs {
if let Some(x) = item {
// ...
}
}
```
"##,
E0301: r##"
Mutable borrows are not allowed in pattern guards, because matching cannot have
side effects. Side effects could alter the matched object or the environment
on which the match depends in such a way, that the match would not be
exhaustive. For instance, the following would not match any arm if mutable
borrows were allowed:
```compile_fail,E0301
match Some(()) {
None => { },
option if option.take().is_none() => {
/* impossible, option is `Some` */
},
Some(_) => { } // When the previous match failed, the option became `None`.
}
```
"##,
E0302: r##"
Assignments are not allowed in pattern guards, because matching cannot have
side effects. Side effects could alter the matched object or the environment
on which the match depends in such a way, that the match would not be
exhaustive. For instance, the following would not match any arm if assignments
were allowed:
```compile_fail,E0302
match Some(()) {
None => { },
option if { option = None; false } => { },
Some(_) => { } // When the previous match failed, the option became `None`.
}
```
"##,
E0303: r##"
In certain cases it is possible for sub-bindings to violate memory safety.
Updates to the borrow checker in a future version of Rust may remove this
restriction, but for now patterns must be rewritten without sub-bindings.
Before:
```compile_fail,E0303
match Some("hi".to_string()) {
ref op_string_ref @ Some(s) => {},
None => {},
}
```
After:
```
match Some("hi".to_string()) {
Some(ref s) => {
let op_string_ref = &Some(s);
// ...
},
None => {},
}
```
The `op_string_ref` binding has type `&Option<&String>` in both cases.

"##,
E0010: r##"
The value of statics and constants must be known at compile time, and they live
for the entire lifetime of a program. Creating a boxed value allocates memory on
the heap at runtime, and therefore cannot be done at compile time. Erroneous
code example:
```compile_fail,E0010
#![feature(box_syntax)]
const CON : Box<i32> = box 0;
```
"##,
E0013: r##"
Static and const variables can refer to other const variables. But a const
variable cannot refer to a static variable. For example, `Y` cannot refer to
`X` here:
```compile_fail,E0013
static X: i32 = 42;
const Y: i32 = X;
```
To fix this, the value can be extracted as a const and then used:
```
const A: i32 = 42;
static X: i32 = A;
const Y: i32 = A;
```
"##,
// FIXME(#57563) Change the language here when const fn stabilizes
E0015: r##"
The only functions that can be called in static or constant expressions are
`const` functions, and struct/enum constructors. `const` functions are only
available on a nightly compiler. Rust currently does not support more general
compile-time function execution.
```
const FOO: Option<u8> = Some(1); // enum constructor
struct Bar {x: u8}
const BAR: Bar = Bar {x: 1}; // struct constructor
```
See [RFC 911] for more details on the design of `const fn`s.
[RFC 911]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0911-const-fn.md
"##,
E0017: r##"
References in statics and constants may only refer to immutable values.
Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0017
static X: i32 = 1;
const C: i32 = 2;
// these three are not allowed:
const CR: &mut i32 = &mut C;
static STATIC_REF: &'static mut i32 = &mut X;
static CONST_REF: &'static mut i32 = &mut C;
```
Statics are shared everywhere, and if they refer to mutable data one might
violate memory safety since holding multiple mutable references to shared data
is not allowed.
If you really want global mutable state, try using `static mut` or a global
`UnsafeCell`.
"##,
E0019: r##"
A function call isn't allowed in the const's initialization expression
because the expression's value must be known at compile-time. Erroneous code
example:
```compile_fail
enum Test {
V1
}
impl Test {
fn test(&self) -> i32 {
12
}
}
fn main() {
const FOO: Test = Test::V1;
const A: i32 = FOO.test(); // You can't call Test::func() here!
}
```
Remember: you can't use a function call inside a const's initialization
expression! However, you can totally use it anywhere else:
```
enum Test {
V1
}
impl Test {
fn func(&self) -> i32 {
12
}
}
fn main() {
const FOO: Test = Test::V1;
FOO.func(); // here is good
let x = FOO.func(); // or even here!
}
```
"##,
E0133: r##"
Unsafe code was used outside of an unsafe function or block.
Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0133
unsafe fn f() { return; } // This is the unsafe code
fn main() {
f(); // error: call to unsafe function requires unsafe function or block
}
```
Using unsafe functionality is potentially dangerous and disallowed by safety
checks. Examples:
* Dereferencing raw pointers
* Calling functions via FFI
* Calling functions marked unsafe
These safety checks can be relaxed for a section of the code by wrapping the
unsafe instructions with an `unsafe` block. For instance:
```
unsafe fn f() { return; }
fn main() {
unsafe { f(); } // ok!
}
```

"##,
E0373: r##"
This error occurs when an attempt is made to use data captured by a closure,
when that data may no longer exist. It's most commonly seen when attempting to
return a closure:
```compile_fail,E0373
fn foo() -> Box<Fn(u32) -> u32> {
let x = 0u32;
Box::new(|y| x + y)
}
```
Notice that `x` is stack-allocated by `foo()`. By default, Rust captures
closed-over data by reference. This means that once `foo()` returns, `x` no
longer exists. An attempt to access `x` within the closure would thus be
unsafe.
Another situation where this might be encountered is when spawning threads:
```compile_fail,E0373
fn foo() {
let x = 0u32;
let y = 1u32;
let thr = std::thread::spawn(|| {
x + y
});
}
```
Since our new thread runs in parallel, the stack frame containing `x` and `y`
may well have disappeared by the time we try to use them. Even if we call
`thr.join()` within foo (which blocks until `thr` has completed, ensuring the
stack frame won't disappear), we will not succeed: the compiler cannot prove
that this behaviour is safe, and so won't let us do it.
The solution to this problem is usually to switch to using a `move` closure.
This approach moves (or copies, where possible) data into the closure, rather
than taking references to it. For example:
```
fn foo() -> Box<Fn(u32) -> u32> {
let x = 0u32;
Box::new(move |y| x + y)
}
```
Now that the closure has its own copy of the data, there's no need to worry
about safety.
"##,
E0381: r##"
It is not allowed to use or capture an uninitialized variable. For example:
```compile_fail,E0381
fn main() {
let x: i32;
let y = x; // error, use of possibly-uninitialized variable
}
```
To fix this, ensure that any declared variables are initialized before being
used. Example:
```
fn main() {
let x: i32 = 0;
let y = x; // ok!
}
```
"##,
E0382: r##"
This error occurs when an attempt is made to use a variable after its contents
have been moved elsewhere. For example:
```compile_fail,E0382
struct MyStruct { s: u32 }
fn main() {
let mut x = MyStruct{ s: 5u32 };
let y = x;
x.s = 6;
println!("{}", x.s);
}
```
Since `MyStruct` is a type that is not marked `Copy`, the data gets moved out
of `x` when we set `y`. This is fundamental to Rust's ownership system: outside
of workarounds like `Rc`, a value cannot be owned by more than one variable.
Sometimes we don't need to move the value. Using a reference, we can let another
function borrow the value without changing its ownership. In the example below,
we don't actually have to move our string to `calculate_length`, we can give it
a reference to it with `&` instead.
```
fn main() {
let s1 = String::from("hello");
let len = calculate_length(&s1);
println!("The length of '{}' is {}.", s1, len);
}
fn calculate_length(s: &String) -> usize {
s.len()
}
```
A mutable reference can be created with `&mut`.
Sometimes we don't want a reference, but a duplicate. All types marked `Clone`
can be duplicated by calling `.clone()`. Subsequent changes to a clone do not
affect the original variable.
Most types in the standard library are marked `Clone`. The example below
demonstrates using `clone()` on a string. `s1` is first set to "many", and then
copied to `s2`. Then the first character of `s1` is removed, without affecting
`s2`. "any many" is printed to the console.
```
fn main() {
let mut s1 = String::from("many");
let s2 = s1.clone();
s1.remove(0);
println!("{} {}", s1, s2);
}
```
If we control the definition of a type, we can implement `Clone` on it ourselves
with `#[derive(Clone)]`.
Some types have no ownership semantics at all and are trivial to duplicate. An
example is `i32` and the other number types. We don't have to call `.clone()` to
clone them, because they are marked `Copy` in addition to `Clone`. Implicit
cloning is more convenient in this case. We can mark our own types `Copy` if
all their members also are marked `Copy`.
In the example below, we implement a `Point` type. Because it only stores two
integers, we opt-out of ownership semantics with `Copy`. Then we can
`let p2 = p1` without `p1` being moved.
```
#[derive(Copy, Clone)]
struct Point { x: i32, y: i32 }
fn main() {
let mut p1 = Point{ x: -1, y: 2 };
let p2 = p1;
p1.x = 1;
println!("p1: {}, {}", p1.x, p1.y);
println!("p2: {}, {}", p2.x, p2.y);
}
```
Alternatively, if we don't control the struct's definition, or mutable shared
ownership is truly required, we can use `Rc` and `RefCell`:
```
use std::cell::RefCell;
use std::rc::Rc;
struct MyStruct { s: u32 }
fn main() {
let mut x = Rc::new(RefCell::new(MyStruct{ s: 5u32 }));
let y = x.clone();
x.borrow_mut().s = 6;
println!("{}", x.borrow().s);
}
```
With this approach, x and y share ownership of the data via the `Rc` (reference
count type). `RefCell` essentially performs runtime borrow checking: ensuring
that at most one writer or multiple readers can access the data at any one time.
If you wish to learn more about ownership in Rust, start with the chapter in the
Book:

"##,
E0383: r##"
#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
This error occurs when an attempt is made to partially reinitialize a
structure that is currently uninitialized.
For example, this can happen when a drop has taken place:
```compile_fail
struct Foo {
a: u32,
}
impl Drop for Foo {
fn drop(&mut self) { /* ... */ }
}
let mut x = Foo { a: 1 };
drop(x); // `x` is now uninitialized
x.a = 2; // error, partial reinitialization of uninitialized structure `t`
```
This error can be fixed by fully reinitializing the structure in question:
```
struct Foo {
a: u32,
}
impl Drop for Foo {
fn drop(&mut self) { /* ... */ }
}
let mut x = Foo { a: 1 };
drop(x);
x = Foo { a: 2 };

This error occurs when an attempt is made to reassign an immutable variable.
For example:
```compile_fail,E0384
fn main() {
let x = 3;
x = 5; // error, reassignment of immutable variable
}
```
By default, variables in Rust are immutable. To fix this error, add the keyword
`mut` after the keyword `let` when declaring the variable. For example:
```
fn main() {
let mut x = 3;
x = 5;
}
```
"##,
/*E0386: r##"
This error occurs when an attempt is made to mutate the target of a mutable
reference stored inside an immutable container.
For example, this can happen when storing a `&mut` inside an immutable `Box`:
```compile_fail,E0386
let mut x: i64 = 1;
let y: Box<_> = Box::new(&mut x);
**y = 2; // error, cannot assign to data in an immutable container
```
This error can be fixed by making the container mutable:
```
let mut x: i64 = 1;
let mut y: Box<_> = Box::new(&mut x);
**y = 2;
```
It can also be fixed by using a type with interior mutability, such as `Cell`
or `RefCell`:
```
use std::cell::Cell;
let x: i64 = 1;
let y: Box<Cell<_>> = Box::new(Cell::new(x));
y.set(2);
```
"##,*/
E0387: r##"
#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
This error occurs when an attempt is made to mutate or mutably reference data
that a closure has captured immutably. Examples of this error are shown below:
```compile_fail
// Accepts a function or a closure that captures its environment immutably.
// Closures passed to foo will not be able to mutate their closed-over state.
fn foo<F: Fn()>(f: F) { }
// Attempts to mutate closed-over data. Error message reads:
// `cannot assign to data in a captured outer variable...`
fn mutable() {
let mut x = 0u32;
foo(|| x = 2);
}
// Attempts to take a mutable reference to closed-over data. Error message
// reads: `cannot borrow data mutably in a captured outer variable...`
fn mut_addr() {
let mut x = 0u32;
foo(|| { let y = &mut x; });
}
```
The problem here is that foo is defined as accepting a parameter of type `Fn`.
Closures passed into foo will thus be inferred to be of type `Fn`, meaning that
they capture their context immutably.
If the definition of `foo` is under your control, the simplest solution is to
capture the data mutably. This can be done by defining `foo` to take FnMut
rather than Fn:
```
fn foo<F: FnMut()>(f: F) { }
```
Alternatively, we can consider using the `Cell` and `RefCell` types to achieve
interior mutability through a shared reference. Our example's `mutable`
function could be redefined as below:
```
use std::cell::Cell;
fn foo<F: Fn()>(f: F) { }
fn mutable() {
let x = Cell::new(0u32);
foo(|| x.set(2));
}
```

An attempt was made to mutate data using a non-mutable reference. This
commonly occurs when attempting to assign to a non-mutable reference of a
mutable reference (`&(&mut T)`).
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail
struct FancyNum {
num: u8,
}
fn main() {
let mut fancy = FancyNum{ num: 5 };
let fancy_ref = &(&mut fancy);
fancy_ref.num = 6; // error: cannot assign to data in a `&` reference
println!("{}", fancy_ref.num);
}
```
Here, `&mut fancy` is mutable, but `&(&mut fancy)` is not. Creating an
immutable reference to a value borrows it immutably. There can be multiple
references of type `&(&mut T)` that point to the same value, so they must be
immutable to prevent multiple mutable references to the same value.
To fix this, either remove the outer reference:
```
struct FancyNum {
num: u8,
}
fn main() {
let mut fancy = FancyNum{ num: 5 };
let fancy_ref = &mut fancy;
// `fancy_ref` is now &mut FancyNum, rather than &(&mut FancyNum)
fancy_ref.num = 6; // No error!
println!("{}", fancy_ref.num);
}
```
Or make the outer reference mutable:
```
struct FancyNum {
num: u8
}
fn main() {
let mut fancy = FancyNum{ num: 5 };
let fancy_ref = &mut (&mut fancy);
// `fancy_ref` is now &mut(&mut FancyNum), rather than &(&mut FancyNum)
fancy_ref.num = 6; // No error!
println!("{}", fancy_ref.num);
}
```
"##,
E0161: r##"
A value was moved. However, its size was not known at compile time, and only
values of a known size can be moved.
Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail
#![feature(box_syntax)]
fn main() {
let array: &[isize] = &[1, 2, 3];
let _x: Box<[isize]> = box *array;
// error: cannot move a value of type [isize]: the size of [isize] cannot
// be statically determined
}
```
In Rust, you can only move a value when its size is known at compile time.
To work around this restriction, consider "hiding" the value behind a reference:
either `&x` or `&mut x`. Since a reference has a fixed size, this lets you move
it around as usual. Example:
```
#![feature(box_syntax)]
fn main() {
let array: &[isize] = &[1, 2, 3];
let _x: Box<&[isize]> = box array; // ok!
}
```
"##,
E0492: r##"
A borrow of a constant containing interior mutability was attempted. Erroneous
code example:
```compile_fail,E0492
use std::sync::atomic::AtomicUsize;
const A: AtomicUsize = AtomicUsize::new(0);
static B: &'static AtomicUsize = &A;
// error: cannot borrow a constant which may contain interior mutability,
// create a static instead
```
A `const` represents a constant value that should never change. If one takes
a `&` reference to the constant, then one is taking a pointer to some memory
location containing the value. Normally this is perfectly fine: most values
can't be changed via a shared `&` pointer, but interior mutability would allow
it. That is, a constant value could be mutated. On the other hand, a `static` is
explicitly a single memory location, which can be mutated at will.
So, in order to solve this error, either use statics which are `Sync`:
```
use std::sync::atomic::AtomicUsize;
static A: AtomicUsize = AtomicUsize::new(0);
static B: &'static AtomicUsize = &A; // ok!
```
You can also have this error while using a cell type:
```compile_fail,E0492
use std::cell::Cell;
const A: Cell<usize> = Cell::new(1);
const B: &Cell<usize> = &A;
// error: cannot borrow a constant which may contain interior mutability,
// create a static instead
// or:
struct C { a: Cell<usize> }
const D: C = C { a: Cell::new(1) };
const E: &Cell<usize> = &D.a; // error
// or:
const F: &C = &D; // error
```
This is because cell types do operations that are not thread-safe. Due to this,
they don't implement Sync and thus can't be placed in statics.
However, if you still wish to use these types, you can achieve this by an unsafe
wrapper:
```
use std::cell::Cell;
use std::marker::Sync;
struct NotThreadSafe<T> {
value: Cell<T>,
}
unsafe impl<T> Sync for NotThreadSafe<T> {}
static A: NotThreadSafe<usize> = NotThreadSafe { value : Cell::new(1) };
static B: &'static NotThreadSafe<usize> = &A; // ok!
```
Remember this solution is unsafe! You will have to ensure that accesses to the
cell are synchronized.
"##,
E0499: r##"
A variable was borrowed as mutable more than once. Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0499
let mut i = 0;
let mut x = &mut i;
let mut a = &mut i;
x;
// error: cannot borrow `i` as mutable more than once at a time
```
Please note that in rust, you can either have many immutable references, or one
mutable reference. Take a look at
https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-02-references-and-borrowing.html for more
information. Example:
```
let mut i = 0;
let mut x = &mut i; // ok!
// or:
let mut i = 0;
let a = &i; // ok!
let b = &i; // still ok!
let c = &i; // still ok!
b;
a;
```
"##,
E0500: r##"
A borrowed variable was used by a closure. Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail,E0500
fn you_know_nothing(jon_snow: &mut i32) {
let nights_watch = &jon_snow;
let starks = || {
*jon_snow = 3; // error: closure requires unique access to `jon_snow`
// but it is already borrowed
};
println!("{}", nights_watch);
}
```
In here, `jon_snow` is already borrowed by the `nights_watch` reference, so it
cannot be borrowed by the `starks` closure at the same time. To fix this issue,
you can create the closure after the borrow has ended:
```
fn you_know_nothing(jon_snow: &mut i32) {
let nights_watch = &jon_snow;
println!("{}", nights_watch);
let starks = || {
*jon_snow = 3;
};
}
```
Or, if the type implements the `Clone` trait, you can clone it between
closures:
```
fn you_know_nothing(jon_snow: &mut i32) {
let mut jon_copy = jon_snow.clone();
let starks = || {
*jon_snow = 3;
};
println!("{}", jon_copy);
}
```
"##,
E0501: r##"
This error indicates that a mutable variable is being used while it is still
captured by a closure. Because the closure has borrowed the variable, it is not
available for use until the closure goes out of scope.
Note that a capture will either move or borrow a variable, but in this
situation, the closure is borrowing the variable. Take a look at
http://rustbyexample.com/fn/closures/capture.html for more information about
capturing.
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail,E0501
fn inside_closure(x: &mut i32) {
// Actions which require unique access
}
fn outside_closure(x: &mut i32) {
// Actions which require unique access
}
fn foo(a: &mut i32) {
let mut bar = || {
inside_closure(a)
};
outside_closure(a); // error: cannot borrow `*a` as mutable because previous
// closure requires unique access.
bar();
}
```
To fix this error, you can finish using the closure before using the captured
variable:
```
fn inside_closure(x: &mut i32) {}
fn outside_closure(x: &mut i32) {}
fn foo(a: &mut i32) {
let mut bar = || {
inside_closure(a)
};
bar();
// borrow on `a` ends.
outside_closure(a); // ok!
}
```
Or you can pass the variable as a parameter to the closure:
```
fn inside_closure(x: &mut i32) {}
fn outside_closure(x: &mut i32) {}
fn foo(a: &mut i32) {
let mut bar = |s: &mut i32| {
inside_closure(s)
};
outside_closure(a);
bar(a);
}
```
It may be possible to define the closure later:
```
fn inside_closure(x: &mut i32) {}
fn outside_closure(x: &mut i32) {}
fn foo(a: &mut i32) {
outside_closure(a);
let mut bar = || {
inside_closure(a)
};
bar();
}
```
"##,
E0502: r##"
This error indicates that you are trying to borrow a variable as mutable when it
has already been borrowed as immutable.
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail,E0502
fn bar(x: &mut i32) {}
fn foo(a: &mut i32) {
let ref y = a; // a is borrowed as immutable.
bar(a); // error: cannot borrow `*a` as mutable because `a` is also borrowed
// as immutable
println!("{}", y);
}
```
To fix this error, ensure that you don't have any other references to the
variable before trying to access it mutably:
```
fn bar(x: &mut i32) {}
fn foo(a: &mut i32) {
bar(a);
let ref y = a; // ok!
println!("{}", y);
}
```

https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-02-references-and-borrowing.html.
"##,
E0503: r##"
A value was used after it was mutably borrowed.
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail,E0503
fn main() {
let mut value = 3;
// Create a mutable borrow of `value`.
let borrow = &mut value;
let _sum = value + 1; // error: cannot use `value` because
// it was mutably borrowed
println!("{}", borrow);
}
```
In this example, `value` is mutably borrowed by `borrow` and cannot be
used to calculate `sum`. This is not possible because this would violate
Rust's mutability rules.
You can fix this error by finishing using the borrow before the next use of
the value:
```
fn main() {
let mut value = 3;
let borrow = &mut value;
println!("{}", borrow);
// The block has ended and with it the borrow.
// You can now use `value` again.
let _sum = value + 1;
}
```
Or by cloning `value` before borrowing it:
```
fn main() {
let mut value = 3;
// We clone `value`, creating a copy.
let value_cloned = value.clone();
// The mutable borrow is a reference to `value` and
// not to `value_cloned`...
let borrow = &mut value;
// ... which means we can still use `value_cloned`,
let _sum = value_cloned + 1;
// even though the borrow only ends here.
println!("{}", borrow);
}
```
You can find more information about borrowing in the rust-book:
http://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-02-references-and-borrowing.html
"##,
E0504: r##"
#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
This error occurs when an attempt is made to move a borrowed variable into a
closure.
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail
struct FancyNum {
num: u8,
}
fn main() {
let fancy_num = FancyNum { num: 5 };
let fancy_ref = &fancy_num;
let x = move || {
println!("child function: {}", fancy_num.num);
// error: cannot move `fancy_num` into closure because it is borrowed
};
x();
println!("main function: {}", fancy_ref.num);
}
```
Here, `fancy_num` is borrowed by `fancy_ref` and so cannot be moved into
the closure `x`. There is no way to move a value into a closure while it is
borrowed, as that would invalidate the borrow.
If the closure can't outlive the value being moved, try using a reference
rather than moving:
```
struct FancyNum {
num: u8,
}
fn main() {
let fancy_num = FancyNum { num: 5 };
let fancy_ref = &fancy_num;
let x = move || {
// fancy_ref is usable here because it doesn't move `fancy_num`
println!("child function: {}", fancy_ref.num);
};
x();
println!("main function: {}", fancy_num.num);
}
```
If the value has to be borrowed and then moved, try limiting the lifetime of
the borrow using a scoped block:
```
struct FancyNum {
num: u8,
}
fn main() {
let fancy_num = FancyNum { num: 5 };
{
let fancy_ref = &fancy_num;
println!("main function: {}", fancy_ref.num);
// `fancy_ref` goes out of scope here
}
let x = move || {
// `fancy_num` can be moved now (no more references exist)
println!("child function: {}", fancy_num.num);
};
x();
}
```
If the lifetime of a reference isn't enough, such as in the case of threading,
consider using an `Arc` to create a reference-counted value:
```
use std::sync::Arc;
use std::thread;
struct FancyNum {
num: u8,
}
fn main() {
let fancy_ref1 = Arc::new(FancyNum { num: 5 });
let fancy_ref2 = fancy_ref1.clone();
let x = thread::spawn(move || {
// `fancy_ref1` can be moved and has a `'static` lifetime
println!("child thread: {}", fancy_ref1.num);
});
x.join().expect("child thread should finish");
println!("main thread: {}", fancy_ref2.num);
}
```
"##,
E0505: r##"
A value was moved out while it was still borrowed.
Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0505
struct Value {}
fn borrow(val: &Value) {}
fn eat(val: Value) {}
fn main() {
let x = Value{};
let _ref_to_val: &Value = &x;
eat(x);
borrow(_ref_to_val);
}
```
Here, the function `eat` takes ownership of `x`. However,
`x` cannot be moved because the borrow to `_ref_to_val`
needs to last till the function `borrow`.
To fix that you can do a few different things:
* Try to avoid moving the variable.
* Release borrow before move.
* Implement the `Copy` trait on the type.
Examples:
```
struct Value {}
fn borrow(val: &Value) {}
fn eat(val: &Value) {}
fn main() {
let x = Value{};
let ref_to_val: &Value = &x;
eat(&x); // pass by reference, if it's possible
borrow(ref_to_val);
}
```
Or:
```
struct Value {}
fn borrow(val: &Value) {}
fn eat(val: Value) {}
fn main() {
let x = Value{};
let ref_to_val: &Value = &x;
borrow(ref_to_val);
// ref_to_val is no longer used.
eat(x);
}
```
Or:
```
#[derive(Clone, Copy)] // implement Copy trait
struct Value {}
fn borrow(val: &Value) {}
fn eat(val: Value) {}
fn main() {
let x = Value{};
let ref_to_val: &Value = &x;
eat(x); // it will be copied here.
borrow(ref_to_val);
}
```
You can find more information about borrowing in the rust-book:
http://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-02-references-and-borrowing.html
"##,
E0506: r##"
This error occurs when an attempt is made to assign to a borrowed value.
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail,E0506
struct FancyNum {
num: u8,
}
fn main() {
let mut fancy_num = FancyNum { num: 5 };
let fancy_ref = &fancy_num;
fancy_num = FancyNum { num: 6 };
// error: cannot assign to `fancy_num` because it is borrowed
println!("Num: {}, Ref: {}", fancy_num.num, fancy_ref.num);
}
```
Because `fancy_ref` still holds a reference to `fancy_num`, `fancy_num` can't
be assigned to a new value as it would invalidate the reference.
Alternatively, we can move out of `fancy_num` into a second `fancy_num`:
```
struct FancyNum {
num: u8,
}
fn main() {
let mut fancy_num = FancyNum { num: 5 };
let moved_num = fancy_num;
fancy_num = FancyNum { num: 6 };
println!("Num: {}, Moved num: {}", fancy_num.num, moved_num.num);
}
```
If the value has to be borrowed, try limiting the lifetime of the borrow using
a scoped block:
```
struct FancyNum {
num: u8,
}
fn main() {
let mut fancy_num = FancyNum { num: 5 };
{
let fancy_ref = &fancy_num;
println!("Ref: {}", fancy_ref.num);
}
// Works because `fancy_ref` is no longer in scope
fancy_num = FancyNum { num: 6 };
println!("Num: {}", fancy_num.num);
}
```
Or by moving the reference into a function:
```
struct FancyNum {
num: u8,
}
fn main() {
let mut fancy_num = FancyNum { num: 5 };
print_fancy_ref(&fancy_num);
// Works because function borrow has ended
fancy_num = FancyNum { num: 6 };
println!("Num: {}", fancy_num.num);
}
fn print_fancy_ref(fancy_ref: &FancyNum){
println!("Ref: {}", fancy_ref.num);
}
```
"##,
E0507: r##"
You tried to move out of a value which was borrowed. Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0507
use std::cell::RefCell;
struct TheDarkKnight;
impl TheDarkKnight {
fn nothing_is_true(self) {}
}
fn main() {
let x = RefCell::new(TheDarkKnight);
x.borrow().nothing_is_true(); // error: cannot move out of borrowed content
}
```
Here, the `nothing_is_true` method takes the ownership of `self`. However,
`self` cannot be moved because `.borrow()` only provides an `&TheDarkKnight`,
which is a borrow of the content owned by the `RefCell`. To fix this error,
you have three choices:
* Try to avoid moving the variable.
* Somehow reclaim the ownership.
* Implement the `Copy` trait on the type.
Examples:
```
use std::cell::RefCell;
struct TheDarkKnight;
impl TheDarkKnight {
fn nothing_is_true(&self) {} // First case, we don't take ownership
}
fn main() {
let x = RefCell::new(TheDarkKnight);
x.borrow().nothing_is_true(); // ok!
}
```
Or:
```
use std::cell::RefCell;
struct TheDarkKnight;
impl TheDarkKnight {
fn nothing_is_true(self) {}
}
fn main() {
let x = RefCell::new(TheDarkKnight);
let x = x.into_inner(); // we get back ownership
x.nothing_is_true(); // ok!
}
```
Or:
```
use std::cell::RefCell;
#[derive(Clone, Copy)] // we implement the Copy trait
struct TheDarkKnight;
impl TheDarkKnight {
fn nothing_is_true(self) {}
}
fn main() {
let x = RefCell::new(TheDarkKnight);
x.borrow().nothing_is_true(); // ok!
}
```
Moving a member out of a mutably borrowed struct will also cause E0507 error:
```compile_fail,E0507
struct TheDarkKnight;
impl TheDarkKnight {
fn nothing_is_true(self) {}
}
struct Batcave {
knight: TheDarkKnight
}
fn main() {
let mut cave = Batcave {
knight: TheDarkKnight
};
let borrowed = &mut cave;
borrowed.knight.nothing_is_true(); // E0507
}
```
It is fine only if you put something back. `mem::replace` can be used for that:
```
# struct TheDarkKnight;
# impl TheDarkKnight { fn nothing_is_true(self) {} }
# struct Batcave { knight: TheDarkKnight }
use std::mem;
let mut cave = Batcave {
knight: TheDarkKnight
};
let borrowed = &mut cave;
mem::replace(&mut borrowed.knight, TheDarkKnight).nothing_is_true(); // ok!
```

http://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-02-references-and-borrowing.html
"##,
E0508: r##"
A value was moved out of a non-copy fixed-size array.
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail,E0508
struct NonCopy;
fn main() {
let array = [NonCopy; 1];
let _value = array[0]; // error: cannot move out of type `[NonCopy; 1]`,
// a non-copy fixed-size array
}
```
The first element was moved out of the array, but this is not
possible because `NonCopy` does not implement the `Copy` trait.
Consider borrowing the element instead of moving it:
```
struct NonCopy;
fn main() {
let array = [NonCopy; 1];
let _value = &array[0]; // Borrowing is allowed, unlike moving.
}
```
Alternatively, if your type implements `Clone` and you need to own the value,
consider borrowing and then cloning:
```
#[derive(Clone)]
struct NonCopy;
fn main() {
let array = [NonCopy; 1];
// Now you can clone the array element.
let _value = array[0].clone();
}
```
"##,
E0509: r##"
This error occurs when an attempt is made to move out of a value whose type
implements the `Drop` trait.
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail,E0509
struct FancyNum {
num: usize
}
struct DropStruct {
fancy: FancyNum
}
impl Drop for DropStruct {
fn drop(&mut self) {
// Destruct DropStruct, possibly using FancyNum
}
}
fn main() {
let drop_struct = DropStruct{fancy: FancyNum{num: 5}};
let fancy_field = drop_struct.fancy; // Error E0509
println!("Fancy: {}", fancy_field.num);
// implicit call to `drop_struct.drop()` as drop_struct goes out of scope
}
```
Here, we tried to move a field out of a struct of type `DropStruct` which
implements the `Drop` trait. However, a struct cannot be dropped if one or
more of its fields have been moved.
Structs implementing the `Drop` trait have an implicit destructor that gets
called when they go out of scope. This destructor may use the fields of the
struct, so moving out of the struct could make it impossible to run the
destructor. Therefore, we must think of all values whose type implements the
`Drop` trait as single units whose fields cannot be moved.
This error can be fixed by creating a reference to the fields of a struct,
enum, or tuple using the `ref` keyword:
```
struct FancyNum {
num: usize
}
struct DropStruct {
fancy: FancyNum
}
impl Drop for DropStruct {
fn drop(&mut self) {
// Destruct DropStruct, possibly using FancyNum
}
}
fn main() {
let drop_struct = DropStruct{fancy: FancyNum{num: 5}};
let ref fancy_field = drop_struct.fancy; // No more errors!
println!("Fancy: {}", fancy_field.num);
// implicit call to `drop_struct.drop()` as drop_struct goes out of scope
}
```
Note that this technique can also be used in the arms of a match expression:
```
struct FancyNum {
num: usize
}
enum DropEnum {
Fancy(FancyNum)
}
impl Drop for DropEnum {
fn drop(&mut self) {
// Destruct DropEnum, possibly using FancyNum
}
}
fn main() {
// Creates and enum of type `DropEnum`, which implements `Drop`
let drop_enum = DropEnum::Fancy(FancyNum{num: 10});
match drop_enum {
// Creates a reference to the inside of `DropEnum::Fancy`
DropEnum::Fancy(ref fancy_field) => // No error!
println!("It was fancy-- {}!", fancy_field.num),
}
// implicit call to `drop_enum.drop()` as drop_enum goes out of scope
}
```
"##,
E0510: r##"
Cannot mutate place in this match guard.
When matching on a variable it cannot be mutated in the match guards, as this
could cause the match to be non-exhaustive:
```compile_fail,E0510
#![feature(bind_by_move_pattern_guards)]
let mut x = Some(0);
match x {
None => (),
Some(_) if { x = None; false } => (),
Some(v) => (), // No longer matches
}
```
Here executing `x = None` would modify the value being matched and require us
to go "back in time" to the `None` arm.
"##,
E0579: r##"
When matching against an exclusive range, the compiler verifies that the range
is non-empty. Exclusive range patterns include the start point but not the end
point, so this is equivalent to requiring the start of the range to be less
than the end of the range.
For example:
```compile_fail
match 5u32 {
// This range is ok, albeit pointless.
1 .. 2 => {}
// This range is empty, and the compiler can tell.
5 .. 5 => {}
}
```
"##,
E0515: r##"
Cannot return value that references local variable
Local variables, function parameters and temporaries are all dropped before the
end of the function body. So a reference to them cannot be returned.
```compile_fail,E0515
fn get_dangling_reference() -> &'static i32 {
let x = 0;
&x
}
```
```compile_fail,E0515
use std::slice::Iter;
fn get_dangling_iterator<'a>() -> Iter<'a, i32> {
let v = vec![1, 2, 3];
v.iter()
}
```
Consider returning an owned value instead:
```
use std::vec::IntoIter;
fn get_integer() -> i32 {
let x = 0;
x
}
fn get_owned_iterator() -> IntoIter<i32> {
let v = vec![1, 2, 3];
v.into_iter()
}
```
"##,
E0595: r##"
#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
Closures cannot mutate immutable captured variables.
Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0594
let x = 3; // error: closure cannot assign to immutable local variable `x`
let mut c = || { x += 1 };
```
Make the variable binding mutable:
```
let mut x = 3; // ok!
let mut c = || { x += 1 };
```
"##,
E0596: r##"
This error occurs because you tried to mutably borrow a non-mutable variable.
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail,E0596
let x = 1;
let y = &mut x; // error: cannot borrow mutably
```
In here, `x` isn't mutable, so when we try to mutably borrow it in `y`, it
fails. To fix this error, you need to make `x` mutable:
```
let mut x = 1;
let y = &mut x; // ok!
```
"##,
E0597: r##"
This error occurs because a value was dropped while it was still borrowed
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail,E0597
struct Foo<'a> {
x: Option<&'a u32>,
}
let mut x = Foo { x: None };
{
let y = 0;
x.x = Some(&y); // error: `y` does not live long enough
}
println!("{:?}", x.x);
```
In here, `y` is dropped at the end of the inner scope, but it is borrowed by
`x` until the `println`. To fix the previous example, just remove the scope
so that `y` isn't dropped until after the println
```
struct Foo<'a> {
x: Option<&'a u32>,
}
let mut x = Foo { x: None };
let y = 0;
x.x = Some(&y);
println!("{:?}", x.x);
```
"##,
E0626: r##"
This error occurs because a borrow in a generator persists across a
yield point.
```compile_fail,E0626
# #![feature(generators, generator_trait, pin)]
# use std::ops::Generator;
# use std::pin::Pin;
let mut b = || {
let a = &String::new(); // <-- This borrow...
yield (); // ...is still in scope here, when the yield occurs.
println!("{}", a);
};
Pin::new(&mut b).resume();
```
At present, it is not permitted to have a yield that occurs while a
borrow is still in scope. To resolve this error, the borrow must
either be "contained" to a smaller scope that does not overlap the
yield or else eliminated in another way. So, for example, we might
resolve the previous example by removing the borrow and just storing
the integer by value:
```
# #![feature(generators, generator_trait, pin)]
# use std::ops::Generator;
# use std::pin::Pin;
let mut b = || {
let a = 3;
yield ();
println!("{}", a);
};
Pin::new(&mut b).resume();
```
This is a very simple case, of course. In more complex cases, we may
wish to have more than one reference to the value that was borrowed --
in those cases, something like the `Rc` or `Arc` types may be useful.
This error also frequently arises with iteration:
```compile_fail,E0626
# #![feature(generators, generator_trait, pin)]
# use std::ops::Generator;
# use std::pin::Pin;
let mut b = || {
let v = vec![1,2,3];
for &x in &v { // <-- borrow of `v` is still in scope...
yield x; // ...when this yield occurs.
}
};
Pin::new(&mut b).resume();
```
Such cases can sometimes be resolved by iterating "by value" (or using
`into_iter()`) to avoid borrowing:
```
# #![feature(generators, generator_trait, pin)]
# use std::ops::Generator;
# use std::pin::Pin;
let mut b = || {
let v = vec![1,2,3];
for x in v { // <-- Take ownership of the values instead!
yield x; // <-- Now yield is OK.
}
};
Pin::new(&mut b).resume();
```
If taking ownership is not an option, using indices can work too:
```
# #![feature(generators, generator_trait, pin)]
# use std::ops::Generator;
# use std::pin::Pin;
let mut b = || {
let v = vec![1,2,3];
let len = v.len(); // (*)
for i in 0..len {
let x = v[i]; // (*)
yield x; // <-- Now yield is OK.
}
};
Pin::new(&mut b).resume();
// (*) -- Unfortunately, these temporaries are currently required.
// See <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/43122>.
```
"##,
E0712: r##"
This error occurs because a borrow of a thread-local variable was made inside a
function which outlived the lifetime of the function.
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail,E0712
#![feature(thread_local)]
#[thread_local]
static FOO: u8 = 3;
fn main() {
let a = &FOO; // error: thread-local variable borrowed past end of function
std::thread::spawn(move || {
println!("{}", a);
});
}
```
"##,
E0713: r##"
This error occurs when an attempt is made to borrow state past the end of the
lifetime of a type that implements the `Drop` trait.
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail,E0713
#![feature(nll)]
pub struct S<'a> { data: &'a mut String }
impl<'a> Drop for S<'a> {
fn drop(&mut self) { self.data.push_str("being dropped"); }
}
fn demo<'a>(s: S<'a>) -> &'a mut String { let p = &mut *s.data; p }
```
Here, `demo` tries to borrow the string data held within its
argument `s` and then return that borrow. However, `S` is
declared as implementing `Drop`.
Structs implementing the `Drop` trait have an implicit destructor that
gets called when they go out of scope. This destructor gets exclusive
access to the fields of the struct when it runs.
This means that when `s` reaches the end of `demo`, its destructor
gets exclusive access to its `&mut`-borrowed string data. allowing
another borrow of that string data (`p`), to exist across the drop of
`s` would be a violation of the principle that `&mut`-borrows have
exclusive, unaliased access to their referenced data.
This error can be fixed by changing `demo` so that the destructor does
not run while the string-data is borrowed; for example by taking `S`
by reference:
```
pub struct S<'a> { data: &'a mut String }
impl<'a> Drop for S<'a> {
fn drop(&mut self) { self.data.push_str("being dropped"); }
}
fn demo<'a>(s: &'a mut S<'a>) -> &'a mut String { let p = &mut *(*s).data; p }
```
Note that this approach needs a reference to S with lifetime `'a`.
Nothing shorter than `'a` will suffice: a shorter lifetime would imply
that after `demo` finishes executing, something else (such as the
destructor!) could access `s.data` after the end of that shorter
lifetime, which would again violate the `&mut`-borrow's exclusive
access.
"##,
E0716: r##"
This error indicates that a temporary value is being dropped
while a borrow is still in active use.
Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0716
fn foo() -> i32 { 22 }
fn bar(x: &i32) -> &i32 { x }
let p = bar(&foo());
// ------ creates a temporary
let q = *p;
```
Here, the expression `&foo()` is borrowing the expression
`foo()`. As `foo()` is a call to a function, and not the name of
a variable, this creates a **temporary** -- that temporary stores
the return value from `foo()` so that it can be borrowed.
You could imagine that `let p = bar(&foo());` is equivalent
to this:
```compile_fail,E0597
# fn foo() -> i32 { 22 }
# fn bar(x: &i32) -> &i32 { x }
let p = {
let tmp = foo(); // the temporary
bar(&tmp)
}; // <-- tmp is freed as we exit this block
let q = p;
```
Whenever a temporary is created, it is automatically dropped (freed)
according to fixed rules. Ordinarily, the temporary is dropped
at the end of the enclosing statement -- in this case, after the `let`.
This is illustrated in the example above by showing that `tmp` would
be freed as we exit the block.
To fix this problem, you need to create a local variable
to store the value in rather than relying on a temporary.
For example, you might change the original program to
the following:
```
fn foo() -> i32 { 22 }
fn bar(x: &i32) -> &i32 { x }
let value = foo(); // dropped at the end of the enclosing block
let p = bar(&value);
let q = *p;
```
By introducing the explicit `let value`, we allocate storage
that will last until the end of the enclosing block (when `value`
goes out of scope). When we borrow `&value`, we are borrowing a
local variable that already exists, and hence no temporary is created.
Temporaries are not always dropped at the end of the enclosing
statement. In simple cases where the `&` expression is immediately
stored into a variable, the compiler will automatically extend
the lifetime of the temporary until the end of the enclosing
block. Therefore, an alternative way to fix the original
program is to write `let tmp = &foo()` and not `let tmp = foo()`:
```
fn foo() -> i32 { 22 }
fn bar(x: &i32) -> &i32 { x }
let value = &foo();
let p = bar(value);
let q = *p;
```
Here, we are still borrowing `foo()`, but as the borrow is assigned
directly into a variable, the temporary will not be dropped until
the end of the enclosing block. Similar rules apply when temporaries
are stored into aggregate structures like a tuple or struct:
```
// Here, two temporaries are created, but
// as they are stored directly into `value`,
// they are not dropped until the end of the
// enclosing block.
fn foo() -> i32 { 22 }
let value = (&foo(), &foo());
```
"##,
E0723: r##"
An feature unstable in `const` contexts was used.
Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0723
trait T {}
impl T for () {}
const fn foo() -> impl T { // error: `impl Trait` in const fn is unstable
()
}
```
To enable this feature on a nightly version of rustc, add the `const_fn`
feature flag:
```
#![feature(const_fn)]
trait T {}
impl T for () {}
const fn foo() -> impl T {
()
}
```
"##,
E0729: r##"
Support for Non-Lexical Lifetimes (NLL) has been included in the Rust compiler
since 1.31, and has been enabled on the 2015 edition since 1.36. The new borrow
checker for NLL uncovered some bugs in the old borrow checker, which in some
cases allowed unsound code to compile, resulting in memory safety issues.
### What do I do?
Change your code so the warning does no longer trigger. For backwards
compatibility, this unsound code may still compile (with a warning) right now.
However, at some point in the future, the compiler will no longer accept this
code and will throw a hard error.
### Shouldn't you fix the old borrow checker?
The old borrow checker has known soundness issues that are basically impossible
to fix. The new NLL-based borrow checker is the fix.
### Can I turn these warnings into errors by denying a lint?
No.
### When are these warnings going to turn into errors?
No formal timeline for turning the warnings into errors has been set. See
[GitHub issue 58781](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/58781) for more
information.
### Why do I get this message with code that doesn't involve borrowing?
There are some known bugs that trigger this message.
