An ICE was seen when running the testsuite for a 16-bit target. This ICE was indirectly fixed in #9282 (d6139e3), however you could the same ICE on 32-bit if
int[]
was swapped withlong[]
.The reason why an ICE would happen is because the condition:
Would also inadvertently match
int[]
andint[][2]
on 16-bit,long[]
andlong[][2]
on 32-bit (and if there was support,cent[]
andcent[][2]
on 64-bit), and generate the wrong code for interpreting the assignment expression.However looking further into it, the code that introduced the ICE in #432 made it possible for reinterpret casts that would have invalid results at run-time to yield a sensible result at CTFE. So that change has been reverted too. The original reason for why it was necessary is no longer relevant any more.
