An if let pattern attempts to match the pattern, and enters the body if the match was successful. If the match is irrefutable (when it cannot fail to match), use a regular let-binding instead. For instance:
struct Irrefutable(i32);
let irr = Irrefutable(0);
// This fails to compile because the match is irrefutable.
if let Irrefutable(x) = irr {
// This body will always be executed.
// ...
}
Try this instead:
struct Irrefutable(i32);
let irr = Irrefutable(0);
let Irrefutable(x) = irr;
println!("{}", x);
