radbuglet @radbuglet.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I always assumed Rust had to do something like this in order to type-check… play.rust-lang.org?version=stab... …since it type-checks the body in lexical order and knows the type of projections that were created before the types required to resolve it were known at the point they’re finally used.play.rust-lang.orgRust PlaygroundA browser interface to the Rust compiler to experiment with the language 100

radbuglet @radbuglet.bsky.social · 26/02/2026I was being very tongue-in-cheek with the whole “semver breakage” thing. The real bug is that `meow` and `mewo` should compile but only the former actually does. The “surprise semver breakage” quip is just about how seemingly innocuous changes in an upstream crate can cause this bug to occur. 110

radbuglet @radbuglet.bsky.social · 23/12/2025So the answer is yesn’t? Like, the logic for checking whether a `#[repr(transparent)]` ADT will reveal the layout of your type to the type checker with no regards for visibility but an end user in another crate will at least get a lint. 030
radbuglet @radbuglet.bsky.social · 23/12/2025Here is the compiler’s logic for checking whether a transparent structure has a legal layout. github.com/rust-lang/ru... It seems to have the notion of an unsuited type, which is a non-local ADT with private fields or a `non_exhaustive` attribute, and will lint if you use it as a ZST.github.com 130
