"##,

E0508: r##"
A value was moved out of a non-copy fixed-size array.
Example of erroneous code:
```compile_fail
struct NonCopy;
fn main() {
let array = [NonCopy; 1];
let _value = array[0]; // error: cannot move out of type `[NonCopy; 1]`,
// a non-copy fixed-size array
}
```
The first element was moved out of the array, but this is not
possible because `NonCopy` does not implement the `Copy` trait.
Consider borrowing the element instead of moving it:
```
struct NonCopy;
fn main() {
let array = [NonCopy; 1];
let _value = &array[0]; // Borrowing is allowed, unlike moving.
}
```
Alternatively, if your type implements `Clone` and you need to own the value,
consider borrowing and then cloning:
```
#[derive(Clone)]
struct NonCopy;
fn main() {
let array = [NonCopy; 1];
// Now you can clone the array element.
let _value = array[0].clone();
}
```

This error occurs when an attempt is made to move out of a value whose type
implements the `Drop` trait.
