#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.
This error indicates that an empty match expression is invalid because the type
it is matching on is non-empty (there exist values of this type). In safe code
it is impossible to create an instance of an empty type, so empty match
expressions are almost never desired. This error is typically fixed by adding
one or more cases to the match expression.
An example of an empty type is `enum Empty { }`. So, the following will work:
```
enum Empty {}
fn foo(x: Empty) {
match x {
// empty
}
}
```
However, this won't:
```compile_fail
fn foo(x: Option<String>) {
match x {
// empty
}
}
```
