Static: compiler internal error: getTypeDescAux(tyNone)

[mratsim]

Continuing on #7230, I also got this compiler crash while trying to use a proc:

import macros


proc getBase*(bits: static[int]): typedesc =
  if bits == 128:
    result = newTree(nnkBracketExpr, ident("MpUintBase"), ident("uint64"))
  else:
    result = newTree(nnkBracketExpr, ident("MpUintBase"), ident("uint32"))

type
  BaseUint* = SomeUnsignedInt or MpUintBase
  MpUintBase*[BaseUint] = object
      lo*, hi*: BaseUint

  MpUint*[bits: static[int]] = getbase(bits)

Error: internal error: getTypeDescAux(tyNone)
No stack traceback available
To create a stacktrace, rerun compilation with ./koch temp c <file>

Shouldn't you use a macro there? Is just returning a typedesc from a proc supported?

I tried both (see the linked bug). In any case the VM should not crash.

Works for me now, closing.
