Error code E0510

The matched value was assigned in a match guard.

Erroneous code example:

#![allow(unused)] fn main() { let mut x = Some(0); match x { None => {} Some(_) if { x = None; false } => {} // error! Some(_) => {} } }

When matching on a variable it cannot be mutated in the match guards, as this could cause the match to be non-exhaustive.

Here executing x = None would modify the value being matched and require us to go "back in time" to the None arm. To fix it, change the value in the match arm:

#![allow(unused)] fn main() { let mut x = Some(0); match x { None => {} Some(_) => { x = None; // ok! } } }
