A repr(transparent) type was also annotated with other, incompatible representation hints.
Erroneous code example:
#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
#[repr(transparent, C)] // error: incompatible representation hints
struct Grams(f32);
} A type annotated as repr(transparent) delegates all representation concerns to another type, so adding more representation hints is contradictory. Remove either the transparent hint or the other hints, like this:
#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
#[repr(transparent)]
struct Grams(f32);
} Alternatively, move the other attributes to the contained type:
#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
#[repr(C)]
struct Foo {
x: i32,
// ...
}
#[repr(transparent)]
struct FooWrapper(Foo);
} Note that introducing another struct just to have a place for the other attributes may have unintended side effects on the representation:
#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
#[repr(transparent)]
struct Grams(f32);
#[repr(C)]
struct Float(f32);
#[repr(transparent)]
struct Grams2(Float); // this is not equivalent to `Grams` above
} Here, Grams2 is a not equivalent to Grams -- the former transparently wraps a (non-transparent) struct containing a single float, while Grams is a transparent wrapper around a float. This can make a difference for the ABI.
