Error code E0366

An attempt was made to implement Drop on a concrete specialization of a generic type. An example is shown below:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
struct Foo<T> {
    t: T
}

impl Drop for Foo<u32> {
    fn drop(&mut self) {}
}
}

This code is not legal: it is not possible to specialize Drop to a subset of implementations of a generic type. One workaround for this is to wrap the generic type, as shown below:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
struct Foo<T> {
    t: T
}

struct Bar {
    t: Foo<u32>
}

impl Drop for Bar {
    fn drop(&mut self) {}
}
}
