An attempt was made to implement Drop on a trait, which is not allowed: only structs and enums can implement Drop. An example causing this error:

trait MyTrait {}

impl Drop for MyTrait {
    fn drop(&mut self) {}
}

A workaround for this problem is to wrap the trait up in a struct, and implement Drop on that. An example is shown below:

trait MyTrait {}
struct MyWrapper<T: MyTrait> { foo: T }

impl <T: MyTrait> Drop for MyWrapper<T> {
    fn drop(&mut self) {}
}

Alternatively, wrapping trait objects requires something like the following:

trait MyTrait {}

//or Box<MyTrait>, if you wanted an owned trait object
struct MyWrapper<'a> { foo: &'a MyTrait }

impl <'a> Drop for MyWrapper<'a> {
    fn drop(&mut self) {}
}
