Existing code broken by the 1.90 release. Bug?
⚓ Rust 📅 2025-09-19 👤 surdeus 👁️ 9Hello!
I have some existing code which has been broken by the 1.90 release. The code below, on playground, fails to compile with 1.90, but succeeded without as much as a warning on 1.89.
Is this a bug? I don't understand why the trait can't resolve as I expect it to, but I haven't dug too deeply. However all my builds are broken now, yikes!
use std::ffi::CString;
fn main() {
assert_eq!(CString::from(c"foo"), c"foo".into());
}
Errors:
Compiling playground v0.0.1 (/playground)
