ICE with trait alias when alias refers to bare Self

[seanmonstar]

trait Svc<Req> {
    type Res;
}

// ICEs:
trait MkSvc<Target, Req> = Svc<Target> where Self::Res: Svc<Req>;

// works:
// trait MkSvc<Target, Req> = Svc<Target> where <Self as Svc<Target>>::Res: Svc<Req>;

The compiler outputs:

error: internal compiler error: src/librustc/hir/map/mod.rs:546: ty_param_owner: trait alias MkSvc (id=17) not a type parameter

Thanks for the report. I don't think the fix for this is too difficult judging by your example. Unfortunately, I'm very busy right now. You've contributed to rustc before, if I'm not mistaken... would you be interested in taking up this fix if I mentored/reviewed?

[seanmonstar]

@alexreg I'd be happy to help. I spent a couple hours last night trying to figure out how to work on the related "import methods" issue, and was completely at a loss of how to find it.

[alexreg]

@seanmonstar Super! I'd like to tackle method importing for both trait aliases and maybe type aliases too, but due to my lack of experience in that area, I'll probably need to chat it over with someone first. (@rust-lang/compiler, any ideas who would be good for this?)

This issue should be no problem though. Would you like me to post some general suggestions/pointers here, or chat about it? I'm on Discord/Zulip if you prefer the latter.

[seanmonstar]

@alexreg If you wouldn't mind leaving pointers here, it'll be easier to find later (like Monday). Or maybe someone can beat me to it. I got to this line from the panic message at least:

rust/src/librustc/hir/map/mod.rs

Line 546 in b2ea6c8

_ => bug!("ty_param_owner: {} not a type parameter", self.hir_to_string(id))

[alexreg]

@seanmonstar Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to have a proper look at this on the weekend, but I've just looked quickly, and I'm hoping the fix may be as easy as matching ItemKind::TraitAlias as well as ItemKind::Trait on

rust/src/librustc/hir/map/mod.rs

Line 544 in b2ea6c8

Node::Item(&Item { node: ItemKind::Trait(..), .. }) => id,

If that's not enough to fix it (may well not be), have a peek around the type_param_predicates fn in collect.rs and try handling trait aliases in an analogous way to traits.

Let me know what this yields.

[alexreg]

@Centril Did you nominate this because of my questions about importing or what?

[Centril]

@alexreg I-ICEs are generally nominated for triage I think.

[alexreg]

Okay.

triage: looks like a P-high ICE.
