Not a defect when
There is effectively no such case: transmuting between such types is useless or undefined, so the code always needs a real conversion.
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.
What--scope contextual looks at to decide whether a change caused the finding.Change it
Turn it off, or make it blocking, without touching the code it flags:
rust-doctor --rule clippy::wrong_transmute=off .
rust-doctor --rule clippy::wrong_transmute=error .
