Description

rust-analyzer version: 0.4.1765-standalone

rustc version: rustc 1.74.0 (79e9716c9 2023-11-13)

relevant settings: None

before:

let a: u16 = 123;
let b: i32 = a.into();

after (actual):

let a: u16 = 123;
let b: i32 = U::from(a);

after (expected):

let a: u16 = 123;
let b: i32 = i32::from(a);

The U does not get correctly replaced with the target type, in this case i32

Research direction

Start with the inline function assist entry point and reproduce the reported Rust snippet using an into call with generic type parameters. Trace how the target type is substituted in the generated from call; done means the assist produces i32::from(a) rather than U::from(a).
