ICE with invalid syntax

[thestinger]

(updated test case for bug)

The following test inputs:

fn main() { &fail!() }

or, more elaborately:

struct TrieMapIterator<'self> {
    priv node: &'self uint
}

fn main() {
    let a = 5;
    let _iter = TrieMapIterator{node: &a};
    _iter.node = &
    fail!()
}

yields the ICE failure:

/tmp/issue5500.rs:8:17: 10:1 error: internal compiler error: ty_region() invoked on in appropriate ty: &ty_bot
/tmp/issue5500.rs:8     _iter.node = &
/tmp/issue5500.rs:9     fail!()
/tmp/issue5500.rs:10 }

---

(original bug test case follows)

struct TrieMapIterator {
    priv node: &'self uint
}

fn main() {
    let a = 5;
    let iter = TrieMapIterator{node: &a};
    iter.node = &
    fail!()
}

This may or may not be the same failure as

fn main() { &fail!() }

which fails with 'ty_region() invoked on in appropriate ty: ty_bot', /run/media/jdm/ssd/rust/src/librustc/middle/ty.rs:2760.

Visited for triage. Was able to reproduce. Nominating for "maturity number 5 - production ready".

[graydon]

accepted for production-ready milestone

[graydon]

just a bug, removing milestone/nomination.

Both the smaller and the bigger versions still ICE as of b477f7a
