+Conflicting representation hints have been used on a same item.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0566
+# #![deny(warnings)]
+# fn main() {
+#[repr(u32, u64)] // error!
+enum Repr { A }
+# }
+```
+
+In most cases (if not all), using just one representation hint is more than
+enough. If you want to have a representation hint depending on the current
+architecture, use `cfg_attr`. Example:
+
+```
+#[cfg_attr(linux, repr(u32))]
+#[cfg_attr(not(linux), repr(u64))]
+enum Repr { A }
+```
+"##,

 E0580: r##"
 The `main` function was incorrectly declared.
