Oh, hmmm it seems the ICE only happens when one of my projects is included as a dependency, I orignally found it in some code using it, so pulled it into my test project for this, and when I narrowed the repro to something that didnt import it I didnt think to test removing it from the Cargo.toml

the package is natrix, and can confirm the ICE happens on a clean project with the above code and natrix = "1.0.0" in Cargo.toml

I really have no clue what in natrix might be triggering this when it isnt even used in the code.

[vivax3794]

I managed to cut down the repo more, it seems like the requirements are:

• A trait with a associated type with a invalid trait bound
• A impl Something::Something block (doesnt have to use the same associated item at all)
• something that happens in natrix, still dont know what

[vivax3794]

Hmm, so I found that

trait Bar {
    fn hello() -> impl PartialEq;
}

struct Hello;

impl Hello::What {}

seems to trigger the same panic without having to depend on natrix, (and natrix does in fact have a trait with such a return type)
but also in this case you dont need the type Assoc: i32 to trigger the panic, which you do in the repro currently in the issue body (which depends on natrix).

But creating a crate with

trait bar {
    fn hello() -> impl partialeq;
}

and depending on it in a crate with

struct Hello;

trait Foo {
    type Data: i32;
}

impl Hello::What {}

causes the panic (and removing type Data: i32 causes the panic to not happen)

[vivax3794]

This might get fixed by #139981 ? (I initally didnt think it was a duplicate of its two linked issue since the original repro didnt have a -> impl ... anywhere afaik at the time)

[moxian]

This has indeed been fixed by #139981 !
