Error code E0255
You can't import a value whose name is the same as another value defined in the module.
Erroneous code example:
use bar::foo; // error: an item named `foo` is already in scope fn foo() {} mod bar { pub fn foo() {} } fn main() {}
You can use aliases in order to fix this error. Example:
use bar::foo as bar_foo; // ok! fn foo() {} mod bar { pub fn foo() {} } fn main() {}
Or you can reference the item with its parent:
fn foo() {} mod bar { pub fn foo() {} } fn main() { bar::foo(); // we get the item by referring to its parent }
