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); } } }
