Type check failure in match for tuple.

[youknowone]

Case 1: Unexpected path error

Input code

const A: (int,int) = (3,4);
fn main() { match 42 { A => () } }

expected: type error on line r { }, because type of 0 is not tuple but r is.

result: compile error

log:

rust: task failed at 'Unsupported constant expr', <core-macros>:15
error: internal compiler error: unexpected failure
note: the compiler hit an unexpected failure path. this is a bug
note: try running with RUST_LOG=rustc=1,::rt::backtrace to get further details and report the results to github.com/mozilla/rust/issues
rust: task failed at 'explicit failure', <core-macros>:15
rust: domain main @0x7fd30b80c810 root task failed

Case 2: Unexpected silence and strange behavior
Input:

fn main() {
    let a_tuple = (1, 2);
    match 0 {
        a_tuple => {
            io::println("A");
        }
    }
}

Expected: type error on line r { }, because type of 0 is not tuple but r is.

Result: Unexpected warnings, silence complie and unexpected behavior.

Warnings:

min2.rs:2:8: 2:17 warning: unused variable: `a_tuple`
min2.rs:2     let a_tuple = (1, 2);
                  ^~~~~~~~~
min2.rs:4:8: 4:18 warning: unused variable: `a_tuple`
min2.rs:4         a_tuple => {
                  ^~~~~~~~~~

It should not be 'unused variable'

Output with execution:

$ ./min2
A

0 looks matched to (1,2)

Even more, trying next:

fn main() {
    let a_tuple = (1, 2);
    match 0 {
        a_tuple => {
            io::println("A");
        }
        _ => {
            io::println("B");
        }
    }
}

Unreachable _ error is raised.

min2.rs:7:8: 7:9 error: unreachable pattern
min2.rs:7         _ => {
                  ^
error: aborting due to previous error

Don't understand the first one, but I've run in the second case myself, see #4612.
The error messages are completely correct, just misleading.

fn main() {
    let a_tuple = (1, 2);     // Introduces new local variable 'a_tuple'
    match 0 {
        a_tuple => {          // Matches every possible value and binds them to a new local variable 'a_tuple'
            io::println("A"); // That variable never gets used here, hence the warning
        }
        _ => {                // Because the above arm matches everything, this arm can never be reached
            io::println("B");
        }
    }
}

@Kimundi Thank you. I get it now. I am not familiar with rust yet.
