const generic ICE on *stable*

[DutchGhost]

I tried this code on stable:

trait Trait<const S: &'static str> {}

struct Bug<T>
where
    T: Trait<{std::intrinsics::type_name::<T>()}>
{
    t: T
}

I expected to see this happen: For one, report an error that Im using const generics without a feature flag. For two, report an error Im uising an intrinsic without a feature flag.

Instead, this happened: The above code crashed the compiler.

Meta

rustc --version --verbose:

1.41.0

A quick check in godbolt gives that the ICE's started in 1.35 and onwards. This also includes the current nightly and beta.

cargo-bisect-rustc indicates a regression in nightly-2019-03-08 with tests that use a rustc shell script. I ran into a cargo bisect-rustc error and couldn't bisect at the commit level because there is a missing git commit sha hash for nightly-2019-03-07. It looks like commit 88f755f appeared around this time with this block that seems to be the site of the ICE error string.

[pnkfelix]

@jonas-schievink : I was under impression that the F-* flags were reserved for bugs that required (in actuality, not solely according to our current specification/desired behavior) the feature flag to occur? I.e. ones that hypothetically could be deprioritized on that basis?

Do I have an incorrect impression?

[jonas-schievink]

Hmm, to my knowledge we've usually applied them whenever the feature in question was involved. For things that only occur on nightly, we have the additional requires-nightly label.

[pnkfelix]

Oh, wait, it does print:

error[E0658]: const generics are unstable

  = note: for more information, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44580

in the first diagnostic it prints.

@DutchGhost we don't print anything about #!feature(flag) on the stable or beta channels. That suggestion is only emitted on nightly channel.

[pnkfelix]

okay thanks; I indeed had the wrong impression.

[pnkfelix]

triage: P-medium, removing nomination label. Assigning to self. (Since this is leveraging a nightly-only feature, and we do emit the diagnostic saying so, this gets relatively lower priority.)

[yodaldevoid]

Digging into this, this ICE seems to come about because the const argument does not inherit the substs of the item it is contained within when in the where clause or generic parameter list.

[Alexendoo]

No longer ICEs since #78809
