+The `since` value is missing in a stability attribute.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0542
+#![feature(staged_api)]
+#![stable(since = "1.0.0", feature = "test")]
+
+#[stable(feature = "_stable_fn")] // invalid
+fn _stable_fn() {}
+
+#[rustc_const_stable(feature = "_stable_const_fn")] // invalid
+fn _stable_const_fn() {}
+
+#[stable(feature = "_deprecated_fn", since = "0.1.0")]
+#[rustc_deprecated(
+    reason = "explanation for deprecation"
+)] // invalid
+fn _deprecated_fn() {}
+```
+
+To fix the issue you need to provide the `since` field.
+
+```
+#![feature(staged_api)]
+#![stable(since = "1.0.0", feature = "test")]
+
+#[stable(feature = "_stable_fn", since = "1.0.0")] // ok!
+fn _stable_fn() {}
+
+#[rustc_const_stable(feature = "_stable_const_fn", since = "1.0.0")] // ok!
+fn _stable_const_fn() {}
+
+#[stable(feature = "_deprecated_fn", since = "0.1.0")]
+#[rustc_deprecated(
+    since = "1.0.0",
+    reason = "explanation for deprecation"
+)] // ok!
+fn _deprecated_fn() {}
