A `#[marker]` trait contained an associated item. Erroneous code example: ```compile_fail,E0714 #![feature(marker_trait_attr)] #![feature(associated_type_defaults)] #[marker] trait MarkerConst { const N: usize; // error! } fn main() {} ``` The items of marker traits cannot be overridden, so there's no need to have them when they cannot be changed per-type anyway. If you wanted them for ergonomic reasons, consider making an extension trait instead.
