RS.CLIPPY.UNNECESSARY_FALLIBLE_CONVERSIONS
Calling the `try_from` and `try_into` trait methods when `From`/`Into` is implemented
This checker is a Clippy lint created by The Rust Project Contributors. The documentation shown here is a copy of the original documentation for: unnecessary_fallible_conversions. Copyright ©2025 The Rust Team. All rights reserved.
What it does
Checks for calls to TryInto::try_into and TryFrom::try_from when their infallible counterparts
could be used.
Why is this bad?
In those cases, the TryInto and TryFrom trait implementation is a blanket impl that forwards
to Into or From, which always succeeds.
The returned Result<_, Infallible> requires error handling to get the contained value
even though the conversion can never fail.
Example
let _: Result<i64, _> = 1i32.try_into();
let _: Result<i64, _> = <_>::try_from(1i32);
Use from/into instead:
let _: i64 = 1i32.into();
let _: i64 = <_>::from(1i32);
