The type placeholder `_` was used within a type on an item's signature. Erroneous code example: ```compile_fail,E0121 fn foo() -> _ { 5 } // error static BAR: _ = "test"; // error ``` In those cases, you need to provide the type explicitly: ``` fn foo() -> i32 { 5 } // ok! static BAR: &str = "test"; // ok! ``` The type placeholder `_` can be used outside item's signature as follows: ``` let x = "a4a".split('4') .collect::>(); // No need to precise the Vec's generic type. ```
