7134 :: Error: type mismatch: got <type int8> but expected 'int literal(8)'

  The following code causes this error (found in nim-xv6):

  type
    SegDescPointer* = ptr array [8, int8]
  Run

  How to write this definition correctly?

  Spacing matters:

  type
    SegDescPointer* = ptr array[8, int8]
  Run

  I think that in your case, the compiler considers [8, int8] as a array constructor.

  Try Address(0xFFFFFFFF80000000'u64).
