Description
I tried this code:
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub enum TokenType {
LEFT_PAREN
}
impl std::fmt::Display for TokenType {
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result {
write!(f, "TokenType: {}", self)
}
}
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct Token {
pub token_type: TokenType,
pub lexeme: String,
pub line: u16,
}
impl Token {
pub fn new(token_type: TokenType, lexeme: String, line: u16) -> Self {
Self {
token_type,
lexeme,
line,
}
}
}
impl ToString for Token {
fn to_string(&self) -> String {
format!(
"token_type: {}, lexeme: {}, line: {}",
self.token_type, self.lexeme, self.line
)
}
}
fn main() {
let token_new = Token::new(TokenType::LEFT_PAREN, "NIL".to_string(), 12);
println!("TOKEN: {}", token_new.token_type);
}
I expected to see this happen: Some error like this
error[E0277]: `token_type` doesn't implement `std::fmt::Display`
Instead, this happened:

- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by compiling the provided Rust program with rustc 1.85.0 and confirm the recursive output and stack overflow. Investigate the Display implementations shown in the reproduction and compare the behavior with the expected diagnostic; done means the invalid formatting is rejected or no longer recurses into a stack overflow, with a regression test for the reported case.
