 E0533: r##"
+The export_name attribute was badly formatted.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
 ```compile_fail,E0533
-#[export_name]
+#[export_name] // error: export_name attribute has invalid format
+pub fn something() {}
+
+fn main() {}
+```
+
+The export_name attribute expects a string in order to determine the name of
+the exported symbol. Example:
+
+```
+#[export_name = "some function"] // ok!
 pub fn something() {}
 
 fn main() {}
