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! } ```
