error[E0764]: mutable references are not allowed in the final value of constants --> $DIR/issue-17718-const-bad-values.rs:3:34 | LL | const C1: &'static mut [usize] = &mut []; | ^^^^^^^ error[E0658]: referencing statics in constants is unstable --> $DIR/issue-17718-const-bad-values.rs:7:46 | LL | const C2: &'static mut usize = unsafe { &mut S }; | ^ | = note: see issue #119618 for more information = help: add `#![feature(const_refs_to_static)]` to the crate attributes to enable = note: this compiler was built on YYYY-MM-DD; consider upgrading it if it is out of date = note: `static` and `const` variables can refer to other `const` variables. A `const` variable, however, cannot refer to a `static` variable. = help: to fix this, the value can be extracted to a `const` and then used. error: aborting due to 2 previous errors Some errors have detailed explanations: E0658, E0764.
