Attempted to cast to/from a pointer with an unknown kind. Erroneous code example: ```compile_fail,E0641 let b = 0 as *const _; // error ``` Type information must be provided if a pointer type being cast from/into another type which cannot be inferred: ``` // Creating a pointer from reference: type can be inferred let a = &(String::from("Hello world!")) as *const _; // ok! let b = 0 as *const i32; // ok! let c: *const i32 = 0 as *const _; // ok! ```
