Somewhat simplified example for this rustdoc ICE:

trait Stream {
    type Error;
}
trait ParseError {
    type Output;
}
impl ParseError for () {
    type Output = ();
}
impl Stream for () {
    type Error = ();
}
struct Lex<I>
where
    I: Stream,
{
    x: <I::Error as ParseError>::Output,
}
struct Reserved<I> {
    y: Lex<I>,
}
fn main() {}

It was already failing in 1.58. So it's quite an old bug...

Example that compiles with rustc but crashes rustdoc:

pub trait Module {
    type Algebra;
}

pub trait ChainComplex {
    type Algebra;
    type Module:
    ChainComplex<Module = FreeModule<<Self as ChainComplex>::Algebra>>;
}

pub struct FreeModule<A> {
    foo: A,
}

impl<A> Module for FreeModule<A> {
    type Algebra = A;
}

pub trait FreeChainComplex:
    ChainComplex<Module = FreeModule<<Self as ChainComplex>::Algebra>>
{
}

pub struct ResolutionHomomorphism<CC2>
where
    CC2: ChainComplex,
{
    maps: CC2::Module,
}

pub struct SecondaryResolutionHomomorphism<
    CC2: FreeChainComplex<Algebra = usize>,
