The `inline` attribute was malformed. Erroneous code example: ```ignore (compile_fail not working here; see Issue #43707) #[inline()] // error: expected one argument pub fn something() {} fn main() {} ``` The parenthesized `inline` attribute requires the parameter to be specified: ``` #[inline(always)] fn something() {} ``` or: ``` #[inline(never)] fn something() {} ``` Alternatively, a paren-less version of the attribute may be used to hint the compiler about inlining opportunity: ``` #[inline] fn something() {} ``` For more information about the inline attribute, read: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference.html#inline-attributes
