#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler. The `Default` trait was derived on an enum. Erroneous code example: ```compile_fail #[derive(Default)] enum Food { Sweet, Salty, } ``` The `Default` cannot be derived on an enum for the simple reason that the compiler doesn't know which value to pick by default whereas it can for a struct as long as all its fields implement the `Default` trait as well. If you still want to implement `Default` on your enum, you'll have to do it "by hand": ``` enum Food { Sweet, Salty, } impl Default for Food { fn default() -> Food { Food::Sweet } } ```
