// Given a const argument `a`: `{ N }` and some const argument `b` which references the
|
||||
// first anon const like so: `{ [1; a] }`. The `b` anon const should not be allowed to use
|
||||
// any generic parameters as:
|
||||
// - The anon const is not a simple bare parameter, e.g. `N`
|
||||
// - The anon const is not the *length* of an array repeat expression, e.g. the `N` in `[1; N]`.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// On the other hand `b` *is* a repeat expr count and so it should inherit its
|
||||
// parents generics as part of the `const_evaluatable_unchecked` fcw (#76200).
|
||||
// On the other hand `a` *is* a const argument for the length of a repeat expression and
|
||||
// so it *should* inherit the generics declared on its parent definition. (This hack is
|
||||
// introduced for backwards compatibility and is tracked in #76200)
|
||||
//
|
||||
// In this specific case however `b`'s parent should be `a` and so it should wind
|
||||
// up not having any generics after all. If `a` were to inherit its generics from
|
||||
// the enclosing item then the reference to `a` from `b` would contain generic
|
||||
// parameters not usable by `b` which would cause us to ICE.
|
||||
// In this specific case `a`'s parent should be `b` which does not have any generics.
|
||||
// This means that even though `a` inherits generics from `b`, it still winds up not having
|
||||
// access to any generic parameters. If `a` were to inherit its generics from the surrounding
|
||||
// function `foo` then the reference to `a` from `b` would contain generic parameters not usable
|

// by `b` which would cause us to ICE.
