| You can't import a value whose name is the same as another value defined in the |
| module. |
| |
| Erroneous code example: |
| |
| ```compile_fail,E0255 |
| use bar::foo; // error: an item named `foo` is already in scope |
| |
| fn foo() {} |
| |
| mod bar { |
| pub fn foo() {} |
| } |
| |
| fn main() {} |
| ``` |
| |
| You can use aliases in order to fix this error. Example: |
| |
| ``` |
| use bar::foo as bar_foo; // ok! |
| |
| fn foo() {} |
| |
| mod bar { |
| pub fn foo() {} |
| } |
| |
| fn main() {} |
| ``` |
| |
| Or you can reference the item with its parent: |
| |
| ``` |
| fn foo() {} |
| |
| mod bar { |
| pub fn foo() {} |
| } |
| |
| fn main() { |
| bar::foo(); // we get the item by referring to its parent |
| } |
| ``` |
