Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @nrc (or someone else) soon. If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes. Please see the contribution instructions for more information. |

Great sentiment. Can we change the wording even more? It doesn't make sense to say "bare raw pointer" when that doesn't exist as a concept (?). Technically, it's just "expected mut or const in raw pointer type (use *mut T
or *const T
as appropriate)", something like that.

I like your wording. I have updated the message.
"Bare raw pointer" does not exist as a concept.
