# Error code E0071

A structure-literal syntax was used to create an item that is not a structure or enum variant.

Example of erroneous code:

    #![allow(unused)]
    fn main() {
    type U32 = u32;
    let t = U32 { value: 4 }; // error: expected struct, variant or union type,
                              // found builtin type `u32`
    }

To fix this, ensure that the name was correctly spelled, and that the correct form of initializer was used.

For example, the code above can be fixed to:

    #![allow(unused)]
    fn main() {
    type U32 = u32;
    let t: U32 = 4;
    }

or:

    #![allow(unused)]
    fn main() {
    struct U32 { value: u32 }
    let t = U32 { value: 4 };
    }
