Description
Given the following code:
use core::ops::Add;
fn dbl<T>(x: T) -> <T as Add>::Output
where
T: Copy + Add,
UUU: Copy
{
x + x
}
fn main() {
println!("{}", dbl(3));
}
The current output is:
error[[E0412]](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/error-index.html#E0412): cannot find type `UUU` in this scope
--> src/main.rs:6:5
|
6 | UUU: Copy
| ^^^ not found in this scope
error[[E0282]](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/error-index.html#E0282): type annotations needed
--> src/main.rs:3:8
|
3 | fn dbl<T>(x: T) -> <T as Add>::Output
| ^ cannot infer type for type parameter `T`
Similarly, this code:
use core::ops::Add;
fn dbl<T>(x: T) -> <T as Add>::Output
where
T: Copy + Add,
UUU: Add
{
x + x
}
fn main() {
println!("{}", dbl(3));
}
produces
error[[E0412]](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/error-index.html#E0412): cannot find type `UUU` in this scope
--> src/main.rs:6:5
|
6 | UUU: Add
| ^^^ not found in this scope
error[[E0284]](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/error-index.html#E0284): type annotations needed
--> src/main.rs:3:1

3 | / fn dbl<T>(x: T) -> <T as Add>::Output
4 | | where
5 | | T: Copy + Add,
6 | | UUU: Add
7 | | {
8 | | x + x
9 | | }
| |_^ cannot infer type
|
= note: cannot satisfy `<T as Add>::Output == _`
In both cases, the "type annotation needed" error (E0282 or E0284) shouldn't be shown.
Ideally, the erroneous UUU
line should not prevent type inference from succeeding, because UUU
does not refer to anything. Alternatively (as in #88630, #75331, #68507) the first error could cancel the attempt at inferring types.
