Description
Code
fn main() {
let x = &0u8;
let y: u32 = x as u32;
}Current output
error[E0606]: casting `&u8` as `u32` is invalid

| cannot cast `&u8` as `u32`
| help: dereference the expression: `*x`Desired output
No response
Rationale and extra context
The x as u32 => *x transformation is trivial here, we should be able to do this with cargo fix --broken-code imo. All remaining suggestions can already be applied so rustc can fix this code into let y: u32 = (*x).into();
