Compiler panic on enum variants with trait objects

[weiznich]

The compiler panics with certain combinations of enum variants with trait objects. See the minimal example below.

I tried this code:

use std::fmt::Debug;

#[derive(Debug)]
pub enum E {
    A(TraitChild),
}

pub trait TraitParent: Debug{}

pub trait TraitChild: TraitParent {}

I expected to see this happen: A error message or the compiler passing fine

Instead, this happened: The compiler paniced

Could not compile `compiler-bug`.

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

Thanks. It is also present in nightly, where the error message is

error: internal compiler error: ../src/librustc_trans/type_of.rs:134: Unexpected tail in unsized_info_ty: E for ty=E

[jonhoo]

Following on from #34182, this code also produces the error:

pub trait A {}

pub enum C {
    A(A),
}

fn main() {
    let _: Option<Box<C>> = None;
}

[eightbitraptor]

I've come here from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/34182

I think I have run into the same issue from the code in this commit: https://github.com/eightbitraptor/otaku/commit/0ef3e0d06f5c72e8a51de3861e6fa8f58e276061

Which I expected to compile without issue (I introduce a new enum that is not yet used anywhere)

I am using

active toolchain
----------------

stable-x86_64-apple-darwin (default)
rustc 1.9.0 (e4e8b6668 2016-05-18)

And the error I get is:

error: internal compiler error: ../src/librustc_trans/type_of.rs:166: Unexpected tail in unsized_info_ty: errors::AppError for ty=errors::AppError
