Hey! It looks like you've submitted a new PR for the library teams!

If this PR contains changes to any rust-lang/rust public library APIs then please comment with @rustbot label +T-libs-api -T-libs to tag it appropriately. If this PR contains changes to any unstable APIs please edit the PR description to add a link to the relevant API Change Proposal or create one if you haven't already. If you're unsure where your change falls no worries, just leave it as is and the reviewer will take a look and make a decision to forward on if necessary.

Examples of T-libs-api changes:

  • Stabilizing library features
  • Introducing insta-stable changes such as new implementations of existing stable traits on existing stable types
  • Introducing new or changing existing unstable library APIs (excluding permanently unstable features / features without a tracking issue)
  • Changing public documentation in ways that create new stability guarantees
  • Changing observable runtime behavior of library APIs

Hey @cjgillot, this change helps bring consistency to the compiler error message when describing temporary values. For example, the phrase creates a temporary was missing the thing it was describing (in this case value).

the phrase creates a temporary was missing the thing it was describing (in this case value).

Grammatically speaking, the word temporary can also be a noun, not only an adjective (e.g. see Merriam-Webster & Wiktionary). According to Wiktionary as linked, a temporary may refer to “a temporary variable”.

In compiler parlance "temporary" has a specific meaning, but compiler jargon shouldn't be leaking to the users. "Temporary value" is a good compromise.
