Incorrect error position in compiler error message for E0277

[igozali]

Summary

Compiler seems to point to an incorrect line number/column number when describing the error.

Actual

When I try to compile the following short code:

   1   │ fn foo(xs: Vec<String>) {}
   2   │ fn main() {
   3   │     let xs: Vec<String> = "a,b,c".split(",").collect();
   4   │     foo(xs);
   5   │ }

I get the following error message:

error[E0277]: a value of type `std::vec::Vec<std::string::String>` cannot be built from an iterator over elements of type `&str`
 --> main.rs:4:9
  |
4 |     foo(xs);
  |         ^^ value of type `std::vec::Vec<std::string::String>` cannot be built from `std::iter::Iterator<Item=&str>`
  |
  = help: the trait `std::iter::FromIterator<&str>` is not implemented for `std::vec::Vec<std::string::String>`

error: aborting due to previous error

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0277`.

Expected

I expected the compiler to error out on line 3, since I've declared the type of xs to be Vec<String>. I can get the expected behavior by commenting out line 4:

   1   │ fn foo(xs: Vec<String>) {}
   2   │ fn main() {
   3   │     let xs: Vec<String> = "a,b,c".split(",").collect();
   4   │     //foo(xs);
   5   │ }

Which gives me:

error[E0277]: a value of type `std::vec::Vec<std::string::String>` cannot be built from an iterator over elements of type `&str`
 --> main.rs:3:46

3 |     let xs: Vec<String> = "a,b,c".split(",").collect();
