internal compiler error: src/librustc_mir_build/hair/constant.rs:60: impossible case reached

[dwrensha]

I'm seeing an internal compiler error on the following input (found by fuzz-rustc):

const X: [(); 0.1] = [()];
fn main() {}

$ rustc main.rs
error: internal compiler error: src/librustc_mir_build/hair/constant.rs:60: impossible case reached

thread 'rustc' panicked at 'Box<Any>', src/librustc_errors/lib.rs:881:9
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

note: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.

note: we would appreciate a bug report: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#bug-reports

note: rustc 1.43.0-nightly (7760cd0fb 2020-02-19) running on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

error: aborting due to previous error

The error happens on nightly and beta, but not on stable.

(This ended up being a great motivation for me to tie off some cargo-bisect-rustc work I've been doing...)

[pnkfelix]

ICE was introduced between nightly 2020-01-15 and 2010-01-16.

Here are the merges from that time period:

(cargo-bisect-rustc is independently working to identify which one is the culprit.)

Okay cargo-bisect-rustc finished:

Looks like the problem was injected by PR #68118

[pnkfelix]

reassigning to @Centril

[Centril]

The following also causes an ICE:

const X: [(); b"a"] = [()];
fn main() {}

(Same reason, but different message.)

[Centril]

Fixed by #69330.
