Crash - AstroidError under Python 3.12.0a7; raise_if_nothing_inferred

[jnsnow]

Bug description

Pylint 2.17.4 fatally crashes when checking the following minimal reproducer under Python 3.12.0a7:

class Reproducer:
    def foo(self) -> None:
        return self.bar()

    def baz(self) -> None:
        return self.xyzzy()

Version information:

Other information:

I am seeing this crash on production code that checks fine under mypy/pylint from Python 3.7 through 3.11 inclusive; it's only under Python 3.12 that pylint alone crashes. This reproducer is as small as I could get it while still seeing the crash. I unfortunately couldn't find a minimal reproducer for code that I believed "should work"; the code in question that prompted this bug report can be found at https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/python-qemu-qmp/-/blob/main/qemu/qmp/protocol.py

(If you clone the repo and have Python 3.12 available and type "make check-tox", you should be able to see it fail on the production code for yourself.)

Pylint output

Thanks for the report. Duplicate of #8695 (fixed upstream in subsequent CPython releases). Keep the 3.12 issues coming! :-)

Whoops, missed that one. I've upgraded to 0b3 and pylint is still eating dirt, but differently. Let me go back to the kitchen and cook up a new repro. :)

Sounds good. (Make sure to be aware of #8782.)
