@@ -3,22 +3,20 @@ The `not` cfg-predicate was malformed.
 Erroneous code example:
 
 ```compile_fail,E0536
-#[cfg(not())] // error: expected 1 cfg-pattern
-pub fn something() {}
-
-pub fn main() {}
+pub fn main() {
+    if cfg!(not()) { }
+}
 ```
 
 The `not` predicate expects one cfg-pattern. Example:
 
 ```
-#[cfg(not(target_os = "linux"))] // ok!
-pub fn something() {}
-
-pub fn main() {}
+pub fn main() {
+    if cfg!(not(target_os = "linux")) { } // ok!
+}
 ```
