Description
I tried this code:
trait Dbg {}
struct Foo<I, E> {
input: I,
errors: E,
}
trait Bar: Offset<<Self as Bar>::Checkpoint> {
type Checkpoint;
}
impl<I: Bar, E: Dbg> Bar for Foo<I, E> {
type Checkpoint = I::Checkpoint;
}
trait Offset<Start = Self> {}
impl<I: Bar, E: Dbg> Offset<<Foo<I, E> as Bar>::Checkpoint> for Foo<I, E> {}
impl<I: Bar, E> Foo<I, E> {
fn record_err(self, _: <Self as Bar>::Checkpoint) {}
}
fn main() {}
ICE:
error: internal compiler error: Performed HIR wfcheck without an existing error!
--> ./min.rs:21:5
|
21 | fn record_err(self, _: <Self as Bar>::Checkpoint) {}
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Research direction
Reproduce the ICE with the minimized Rust program in the issue using the reported nightly compiler, then start at rustc_hir_analysis/src/hir_wf_check.rs:28. Trace why HIR well-formedness checking is reached without an existing error; done means the example no longer triggers an internal compiler error and produces an appropriate compiler result.
