The latest nightly (rustc 1.57.0-nightly (8c2b6ea 2021-09-11)) introduces a new warning that I consider to be invalid.
Given the following code: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=14d790d2f286f58543c42d915f60e182
The current output is:
This feels very wrong to me. It means any struct created with the intent to be printed is "invalid" according to the compiler. This warning is not actionable. My only option is to suppress it, live with it, or insert some sort of "dummy read". This has broken our CI builds for Bevy (because we treat warnings as errors).
