+#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.

 The value of statics and constants must be known at compile time, and they live
 for the entire lifetime of a program. Creating a boxed value allocates memory on
 the heap at runtime, and therefore cannot be done at compile time.
 
 Erroneous code example:
 
-```compile_fail,E0010

 const CON : Vec<i32> = vec![1, 2, 3];
