Not a defect when
The element type is one byte wide, such as u8, so the byte count and the element count are the same number.
What it reads
Clippy, with the compiler behind it. The only pass that compiles.
Tier
Serious: worth interrupting other work for.
The tier bounds how severe a rule may be; its category bounds the tier.Diff scope
The changed line itself.

Turn it off, or make it blocking, without touching the code it flags:
rust-doctor --rule clippy::size_of_in_element_count=off .
rust-doctor --rule clippy::size_of_in_element_count=error .
