| #### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler. |
| |
| Imports (`use` statements) are not allowed after non-item statements, such as |
| variable declarations and expression statements. |
| |
| Here is an example that demonstrates the error: |
| |
| ``` |
| fn f() { |
| // Variable declaration before import |
| let x = 0; |
| use std::io::Read; |
| // ... |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| The solution is to declare the imports at the top of the block, function, or |
| file. |
| |
| Here is the previous example again, with the correct order: |
| |
| ``` |
| fn f() { |
| use std::io::Read; |
| let x = 0; |
| // ... |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| See the [Declaration Statements][declaration-statements] section of the |
| reference for more information about what constitutes an item declaration |
| and what does not. |
