+An attempt was made to implement `Drop` on a concrete specialization of a
+generic type. An example is shown below:
+
+```compile_fail,E0366
+struct Foo<T> {
+ t: T
+}
+
+impl Drop for Foo<u32> {
+ fn drop(&mut self) {}
+}
+```
+
+This code is not legal: it is not possible to specialize `Drop` to a subset of
+implementations of a generic type. One workaround for this is to wrap the
+generic type, as shown below:
+
+```
+struct Foo<T> {
+ t: T
+}
+
+struct Bar {
+ t: Foo<u32>
+}
+
+impl Drop for Bar {
+ fn drop(&mut self) {}
+}
+```
