+A feature name is missing.

+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0546
+#![feature(staged_api)]
+#![stable(since = "1.0.0", feature = "test")]
+
+#[unstable(issue = "none")] // invalid
+fn unstable_fn() {}
+
+#[stable(since = "1.0.0")] // invalid
+fn stable_fn() {}
+```
+
+To fix the issue you need to provide a feature name.
+
+```
+#![feature(staged_api)]
+#![stable(since = "1.0.0", feature = "test")]
+
+#[unstable(feature = "unstable_fn", issue = "none")] // ok!
+fn unstable_fn() {}
