13:09 < mindtree> vikaton: what project/crate/example did you get this issue in?
13:10 < vikaton> mindtree: Im copying the example on the readme of piston
13:10 < vikaton> the red rectangle

I think this is probably more of a piston_window issue (or the gfx_device_gl backend lib that it uses) as the piston crate itself is backend agnostic, however probably good to leave this here for reference in case other uses run into the same thing before it's fixed.

I'm getting the same error.

@Vikaton Are you using MSVC? I wonder whether this is related to #1032 (comment).

[bvssvni]

@Vikaton PistonDevelopers/opengl_graphics#236 fixed a possible dangling pointer. Do you still get the error?

I updated Rust to 1.9.0 and when I tired running cargo build I got:

$ cargo run --verbose
    Updating registry `https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index`
failed to parse registry's information for: wayland-client

Caused by:

I am having the same issue as @Vikaton

[stuaxo]

Just got the same error as Vikaton, I was on a really old version of rust from 2015 and got the error, then updated and still have it.

$ cargo --version

Does anyone have solution for this?

[Kagami]

Upgrading cargo to 0.9.0 helped in my case.

[stuaxo]

Can confirm, upgrading cargo fixed it for me too.

Closing.
