Error code E0757

A function was given both the ffi_const and ffi_pure attributes.

Erroneous code example:

#![feature(ffi_const, ffi_pure)]

extern "C" {
    #[ffi_const]
    #[ffi_pure] // error: `#[ffi_const]` function cannot be `#[ffi_pure]`
    pub fn square(num: i32) -> i32;
}

As ffi_const provides stronger guarantees than ffi_pure, remove the ffi_pure attribute:

#![feature(ffi_const)]

extern "C" {
    #[ffi_const]
    pub fn square(num: i32) -> i32;
}

You can get more information about const and pure in the GCC documentation on Common Function Attributes. The unstable Rust Book has more information about ffi_const and ffi_pure.
