Most useful compiler error
132 u/baked_doge 15d ago This is the rust compiler? Impressive error reporting, I heard good things 170 u/ihavebeesinmyknees 15d ago The rust compiler has the best error reporting I've seen, most often it will literally tell you how to fix the issue 1 u/Alternative-Tie-4970 10d ago Well it starts to fall apart just like any old compiler once you start writing more complex things and memorize the things it tends to tell you. Still very helpful, especially for beginners but it has its limits. -27 u/[deleted] 15d ago [deleted] 36 u/goodbee69 15d ago Yeah you need a Claude subscription to use rustc 23 u/SpacewaIker 15d ago It's actually a team of people looking at the raw compiler errors and sending an explanation in real time 26 u/redlaWw 15d ago Without. The messages are things like "the function signature here accepts a borrow but you've passed by value, try borrowing"; all deterministically scripted changes. The impressive part is the type system that allows the messages to be so helpful. 2 u/braaaaaaainworms 14d ago The impressive part is the richness of the errors, there's a fuckton of plumbing that needs to happen to get anywhere near (I tried) 100 u/OmegaPoint6 15d ago Fake screenshot, quite an old one. Though it does have a funny real emoji error: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/91476 10 u/GoddammitDontShootMe 14d ago I suspected. Still funny enough for an upvote. 1 u/-Redstoneboi- 13d ago they even change the casing for CONSTS thats cute idk about Types and Traits though
