+Attempted to dereference a variable which cannot be dereferenced.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0614
+let y = 0u32;
+*y; // error: type `u32` cannot be dereferenced
+```
+
+Only types implementing `std::ops::Deref` can be dereferenced (such as `&T`).
+Example:
+
+```
+let y = 0u32;
+let x = &y;
+// So here, `x` is a `&u32`, so we can dereference it:
+*x; // ok!
+```
