3562 :: Possible compiler bug?

• StasB (orginal) [2018-02-19T21:54:58+01:00] view original

  Hello! This bug is quite easy to reproduce:

  proc test(a: int, b: int = a) =
    echo a, b
  
  test(5)
  Run

  I do get a compiler error, but from gcc. I imagine that's not supposed to happen. It happens both in 0.17.2 and the devel version.

  Yes, once Nim checked your code it should never crash in GCC/Clang. Compiler should also never crash during compilation (Red text with "Internal Error")

  You can report it in the Github issue.

  Looks like this has happened before. Here is the issue.
