+A struct pattern attempted to extract a non-existent field from a struct.
-```
-// Correct matching.
-struct Thing {
- x: u32,
- y: u32
-}
-
-let thing = Thing { x: 1, y: 2 };
-
-match thing {
- Thing { x: xfield, y: yfield } => {}
-}
-```

-If you are using shorthand field patterns but want to refer to the struct field
-by a different name, you should rename it explicitly.
-
-Change this:
+Erroneous code example:
```compile_fail,E0026
struct Thing {
x: u32,
- y: u32
+ y: u32,
}
let thing = Thing { x: 0, y: 0 };
match thing {
- Thing { x, z } => {}
+ Thing { x, z } => {} // error: `Thing::z` field doesn't exist
}
```
