Rust error E0297: #### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler
What it means#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
Retired: rustc no longer emits this error code. You may still see it in old answers, books and CI logs from older toolchains; the explanation below is kept for reference.
The compiler team's explanation
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:
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 {
// ...
}
