• If possible, make a PR with a failing test to give us a starting point to work on!

Describe the bug

The compiler is crashing when trying to compile kernels that take values of type std::uint8_t, std::size_t, and possibly other similar types as arguments.

Example:

#include <cudaq.h>
#include <iostream>

__qpu__ void variable_qreg(std::uint8_t value) {
  cudaq::qreg qubits(value);
  mz(qubits);
}

int main() {
  for (auto i = 1; i < 5; ++i) {
    auto result = cudaq::sample(1000, variable_qreg, i);
    std::cout << result.most_probable() << '\n';
  }
  return 0;
}

Steps to reproduce the bug

Try to compile the above program.

Expected behavior

Compiler should not crash.
