+A constant value failed to get evaluated.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0080
+enum Enum {
+ X = (1 << 500),
+ Y = (1 / 0),
+}
+```
+
+This error indicates that the compiler was unable to sensibly evaluate a
+constant expression that had to be evaluated. Attempting to divide by 0
+or causing an integer overflow are two ways to induce this error.
+
+Ensure that the expressions given can be evaluated as the desired integer type.
+
+See the [Custom Discriminants][custom-discriminants] section of the Reference
+for more information about setting custom integer types on fieldless enums
+using the [`repr` attribute][repr-attribute].
