Description

Summary

.

Reproducer

I tried this code:

use std::cell::Cell;

const NONE_CELL_STRING: Option<Cell<String>> = None;

fn a() { // clippy suggests this to be const
    let _: &'static Option<Cell<String>> = &NONE_CELL_STRING;
}

I expected to see this happen:

Instead, this happened:

error[E0493]: destructor of `std::option::Option<std::cell::Cell<std::string::String>>` cannot be evaluated at compile-time
 --> a.rs:6:45
  |
6 |     let _: &'static Option<Cell<String>> = &NONE_CELL_STRING;
  |                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the destructor for this type cannot be evaluated in constant functions
