Broadcast view of `Base.Experimental.Const` fails on 1.11

[hexaeder]

The following code errors on v1.11-rc1 but works on 1.10 v1.11-beta2

a = Base.Experimental.Const([1,2,3])
b = rand(3)
b .= a # works as expected

av = view(a, 1:2)
bv = view(b, 1:2)
bv .= av # errors on v1.11-rc1

You could probably use the UnsafeAssume package instead.

Thanks for the hint. The error appeared due to some @Const declarations in a KernelAbstractions.jl kernel on the CPU backend, so it's not really up to me to change it. However, it's not really breaking in my use case, and I can easily circumvent the problem, but since I noticed the regression from 1.10, I thought I'd report it.

FTR this isn't necessarily a bug in Julia, it's possible this was an intentional change. Notice the Experimental.

[hexaeder]

Sure thing, it says Experimental quite prominently, so feel free to close the issue if it was intentionally.

I just noticed that error was introduce quite recently for v1.11.0-rc1, in v1.11.0.-beta2 still worked as expected, I changed my initial post accordingly.

Seems to be related to https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/54624
