+It is not allowed to manually call destructors in Rust.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0040
+struct Foo {
+ x: i32,
+}
+
+impl Drop for Foo {
+ fn drop(&mut self) {
+ println!("kaboom");
+ }
+}
+
+fn main() {
+ let mut x = Foo { x: -7 };
+ x.drop(); // error: explicit use of destructor method
+}
+```
+
+It is unnecessary to do this since `drop` is called automatically whenever a
+value goes out of scope. However, if you really need to drop a value by hand,
+you can use the `std::mem::drop` function:
+
+```
+struct Foo {
+ x: i32,
+}
+impl Drop for Foo {
+ fn drop(&mut self) {
+ println!("kaboom");
+ }
+}
+fn main() {
+ let mut x = Foo { x: -7 };
+ drop(x); // ok!
+}
+```
