ICE when using a const fn with an if statement as an array length

[Soveu]

Code

pub const fn is_zst<T: ?Sized>() -> usize {
    if std::mem::size_of::<T>() == 0 {
        1
    } else {
        0
    }
}

pub struct AtLeastByte<T: ?Sized> {
    value: T,
    pad: [u8; is_zst::<T>()],
}

rustc 1.47.0-nightly (6c8927b0c 2020-07-26)
binary: rustc
commit-hash: 6c8927b0cf80ceee19386026cf9d7fd4fd9d486f
commit-date: 2020-07-26
host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
release: 1.47.0-nightly
LLVM version: 10.0

The bug also does occur in beta version.
Stable versions do not support if statements inside const fn

[lcnr]

This is a lot more related to const generics, see #71922, #67945 and #56445

[varkor]

This errors correctly with min_const_generics, so hopefully this will be addressed by stabilisation.

Neither is ICE.

[lcnr]

will require feature(const_evaluatable_checked) to work, closing without adding a test as we already have some similar ones

[estebank]

For future reference, you don't need/want T: ?Sized.
