[KSBilodeau]

This ICE is also triggered by unsizing coercion such as follows:

type AsyncFnPtr = Box<
    dyn Fn() -> std::pin::Pin<Box<dyn std::future::Future<Output = ()>>>,
>;

async fn test() {}

fn main() {
    let _: AsyncFnPtr = Box::new(test);
}

[Nilstrieb]

Borrowck is correct in rejecting this code, since the cast is not allowed like this. Looks like some earlier pass didn't check it it correctly.

[compiler-errors]

cc @oli-obk this regressed in #94081

[oli-obk]

Yea regular typeck should already reject that cast/coercion

[compiler-errors]

Strangely, inlining the type alias's definition gives us:

error[[E0271]](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/error-index.html#E0271): type mismatch resolving `<fn() -> impl Future<Output = ()> {test} as FnOnce<()>>::Output == Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = ()>>>`

error: could not compile `playground` due to previous error

[Nilstrieb]

I investigated this closer and.. found a soundness bug! #98608

[Nilstrieb]

Seems like the soundness bug is caused by the same issue, so fixing that should fix this as well. It's just that here borrowck managed to find the broken code and bail out, but there, no one was there to catch it.

[dtolnay]

Correct error in 1.60.0, and nightly prior to f132bcf:
