+A unrecognized representation attribute was used.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0552
+#[repr(D)] // error: unrecognized representation hint
+struct MyStruct {
+    my_field: usize
+}
+```
+
+You can use a `repr` attribute to tell the compiler how you want a struct or
+enum to be laid out in memory.
+
+Make sure you're using one of the supported options:
+
+```
+#[repr(C)] // ok!
+struct MyStruct {
+    my_field: usize
+}
+```
+
+For more information about specifying representations, see the ["Alternative
+Representations" section] of the Rustonomicon.

 Feature attributes are only allowed on the nightly release channel. Stable or
 beta compilers will not comply.
