This is a squash of these commits: - Update E0744 about control flow in `const` contexts to reflect current status of `const fn`. - E0744 isn't just about `for` loops or control flow - Fix formatting on E0744 cause my editor decided to not copy it well - Improve wording - Fix a markdown formatting error - Fix E0744's description as I interpreted some code wrong - Fix a minor wording issue again - Add a few more links to blocking issues - Improve links to tracking issues --- .../src/error_codes/E0744.md | 19 +++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes/E0744.md b/compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes/E0744.md index 14cff3613e0..45804ab266e 100644 --- a/compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes/E0744.md +++ b/compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes/E0744.md @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -A control-flow expression was used inside a const context. +An unsupported expression was used inside a const context.
