Description
I tried this code:
#![feature(generic_const_exprs)]
#![allow(incomplete_features)]
trait Foo<const N: usize> {
type Assoc: Default;
}
impl Foo<0> for () {
type Assoc = u32;
}
impl Foo<3> for () {
type Assoc = i64;
}
fn foo<T, const N: usize>(_: T) -> <() as Foo<{ N + 1 }>>::Assoc
where
(): Foo<{ N + 1 }>,
{
let random_var2 = "example"; // New variable declaration
let mut _q = Default::default();
_q = foo::<_, 2>(_q);
_q
}
fn main() {
let random_var = 42; // New variable declaration
Default::default()
}
I expected to see this happen: compilation terminates
Instead, this happened: unterminated

Research direction
Start by reproducing the supplied example with the reported rustc 1.80.0-nightly version and the generic_const_exprs feature enabled. Investigate the const-generic trait bounds and recursive call shown in the example; done means compilation terminates instead of remaining unterminated.
