Freezing
When data is bound by the same name immutably, it also freezes. Frozen data can't be modified until the immutable binding goes out of scope:
fn main() { let mut _mutable_integer = 7i32; { // Shadowing by immutable `_mutable_integer` let _mutable_integer = _mutable_integer; // Error! `_mutable_integer` is frozen in this scope _mutable_integer = 50; // FIXME ^ Comment out this line // `_mutable_integer` goes out of scope } // Ok! `_mutable_integer` is not frozen in this scope _mutable_integer = 3; }
