+#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
+
+This error occurs when an attempt is made to partially reinitialize a
+structure that is currently uninitialized.
+
+For example, this can happen when a drop has taken place:
+
+```compile_fail
+struct Foo {
+    a: u32,
+}
+impl Drop for Foo {
+    fn drop(&mut self) { /* ... */ }
+}
+
+let mut x = Foo { a: 1 };
+drop(x); // `x` is now uninitialized
+x.a = 2; // error, partial reinitialization of uninitialized structure `t`
+```
+
+This error can be fixed by fully reinitializing the structure in question:
+
+```
+struct Foo {
+    a: u32,
+}
+impl Drop for Foo {
+    fn drop(&mut self) { /* ... */ }
+}
+
+let mut x = Foo { a: 1 };
+drop(x);
+x = Foo { a: 2 };
+```
