Error code E0230
The #[rustc_on_unimplemented]
attribute lets you specify a custom error
message for when a particular trait isn't implemented on a type placed in a
position that needs that trait. For example, when the following code is
compiled:
#![allow(unused)] #![feature(rustc_attrs)] #![allow(internal_features)] fn main() { #[rustc_on_unimplemented = "error on `{Self}` with params `<{A},{B}>`"] // error trait BadAnnotation<A> {} }
There will be an error about bool
not implementing Index<u8>
, followed by a
note saying "the type bool
cannot be indexed by u8
".
As you can see, you can specify type parameters in curly braces for
substitution with the actual types (using the regular format string syntax) in
a given situation. Furthermore, {Self}
will substitute to the type (in this
case, bool
) that we tried to use.
This error appears when the curly braces contain an identifier which doesn't
match with any of the type parameters or the string Self
. This might happen
if you misspelled a type parameter, or if you intended to use literal curly
braces. If it is the latter, escape the curly braces with a second curly brace
of the same type; e.g., a literal {
is {{
.
