Error code E0527

The number of elements in an array or slice pattern differed from the number of elements in the array being matched.

Example of erroneous code:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
let r = &[1, 2, 3, 4];
match r {
    &[a, b] => { // error: pattern requires 2 elements but array
                 //        has 4
        println!("a={}, b={}", a, b);
    }
}
}

Ensure that the pattern is consistent with the size of the matched array. Additional elements can be matched with ..:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
let r = &[1, 2, 3, 4];
match r {
    &[a, b, ..] => { // ok!
        println!("a={}, b={}", a, b);
    }
}
}
