Description

auto-reduced (treereduce-rust):

//@compile-flags: -Znext-solver=globally
trait FinalSelfReturn {
    final fn self_return(&self) -> impl Sized {}
}
fn main() {
    let obj_return: &dyn FinalSelfReturn;
    obj_return.self_return();
}

original:

#![feature(final_associated_functions)]
trait FinalSelfReturn {
    final fn self_return(&self) -> impl Sized {}
}
fn main() {
    let obj_return: &dyn FinalSelfReturn;
    obj_return.self_return();
}

Research direction

Reproduce the reduced example in a.rs with rustc -Znext-solver=globally, then inspect compiler/rustc_type_ir/src/binder.rs around lines 887-899 and the reported trait-solver call path. Done means this input reports the relevant feature or type-checking error without triggering the region-parameter ICE; add or run a regression test if the surrounding compiler tests identify an appropriate location.
