improve compile errors for invalid ptr-to-ptr casts with trait objects This is a follow-up to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120248 to improve some of its error messages. 1. Make the borrowcheck error for "type annotation requires that x must outlive y" actually point at the type annotation, i.e. the type `T` in a `x as T` cast. This makes the error more consistent with other errors caused by type annotation in other places, such as ```text error: lifetime may not live long enough --> src/lib.rs:4:12 | 3 | fn bar(a: &i32) { | - let's call the lifetime of this reference `'1` 4 | let b: &'static i32 = a; | ^^^^^^^^^^^^ type annotation requires that `'1` must outlive `'static` ``` 2. Don't say "cast" when we actually mean "coercion" and give borrowcheck errors from actual casts (which is currently just the check added in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120248) a higher priority than ones from coercions. This can improve the errors for ptr-to-ptr cast between trait objects because they are are lowered as an upcast "unsizing" coercion if possible (which may be the identity upcast) followed by the actual cast. 3. Bring back the old "casting X as Y is invalid" message for type mismatch in the principals and reword the "vtable kinds may not match" message to more accurately describe the pointer metadata and not refer to "vtables" if the metadata is unknown. fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/130030 r? `@WaffleLapkin` but feel free to reassign |

README.md
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
