enum Never {
}

fn foo(n: Never) {
    match &n {
    };
}

result is

error[E0004]: non-exhaustive patterns: type &Never is non-empty
 --> src/main.rs:5:11

Rust 1.27.

I'm not 100% sure, but I guess this code should be valid, because following is valid:

enum Never {
}

fn foo(n: Never) {
    match n {
    };
}

Personally I agree, but the "Fix the handling of uninhabited types in pattern matching" RFC was postponed: rust-lang/rfcs#1872

OK, it is a know issue. Thank you @scottmcm!
