El discriminante debe ser una constante entera

Why this fires¶

A variant's explicit discriminant expression (= expr) either didn't evaluate to an integer at compile time, or couldn't be evaluated as a compile-time constant at all.

enum E: u8 { X = "zero" }
//               ^^^^^^ error[TE118]: discriminant for `E::X` must be an integer constant

fn compute() -> int { return 1 }

enum F: u8 { Y = compute() }
//               ^^^^^^^^^ error[TE118]: discriminant for `F::Y` is not a compile-time constant

Fix it¶

Use a literal integer, or an expression the comptime evaluator can fold (arithmetic on literals, references to consts):

enum E: u8 { X = 0 }             // ok

const BASE = 10
enum F: u8 { Y = BASE + 1 }      // ok — comptime-foldable
