cmd/compile: spurious inference error with undefined value

[rsc]

% cat /tmp/x.go
package p

import "slices"

var s struct{ x int }

func _() {
	slices.Clip(s.y)
}
% go build /tmp/x.go
# command-line-arguments
/tmp/x.go:8:13: cannot infer S ($GOROOT/src/slices/slices.go:403:11)
/tmp/x.go:8:16: s.y undefined (type struct{x int} has no field or method y)
% 

The first error should not be printed, since it is caused by the second error.

Hi, can I try fixing it? I am new to GO, not sure if I will be able to anyways

Dont wanna sound dumb, but should I look into the slices package or some other package to get a fix?

Really?

@gyanendrasng This is a compiler issue; the only relation to the slices package is that the example uses slices. I prefer fixing this myself - also this is not urgent. But thanks for offer.
