Error code E0606
An incompatible cast was attempted.
Erroneous code example:
#![allow(unused)] fn main() { let x = &0u8; // Here, `x` is a `&u8`. let y: u32 = x as u32; // error: casting `&u8` as `u32` is invalid }
When casting, keep in mind that only primitive types can be cast into each other. Example:
#![allow(unused)] fn main() { let x = &0u8; let y: u32 = *x as u32; // We dereference it first and then cast it. }
For more information about casts, take a look at the Type cast section in The Reference Book.
