Internal error 200612311 - even more rare

[Fibonacci]

I couldnt find ANY mention of this internal error. Winner! Do I get a prize for that?

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. program test;
2.  
3. generic procedure proc<T>(a: T; b: byte);
4. begin
5. end;
6.  
7. generic procedure proc<T>(a: T);
8. begin
9.   specialize proc<T>(a, 0); // project1.lpr(9,3) Error: Internal error 200612311
10. end;
11.  
12. begin
13. end.

Now 2014010312, but cant make a small reproducible example for this one... Generics related.

[Fibonacci]

u.pas(3687,0) Error: Internal error 2021010301

WHAT... And these errors dont go away if doing a clean build, or removing whole "lib" folder. Its not easy to code in FPC

[Fibonacci]

u.pas(1323,65529) Error: Compilation raised exception internally

You kids better dont play with generics.

I suppose you win the prize "You have found a bug to report"

@Fibonacci:
There is a simple solution to all these internal errors that you seem to be reporting lately ... simply do not write such code 

But in all seriousness, thank you for putting your mind to these things.

Is (or should) such use (the use of a constant) of generic specialization actually be allowed ? (I actually have no idea)

[Fibonacci]

I too have no idea. An issue has been created on gitlab, it will get fixed or proper error message will be added.

That constant is not part of the specialization, it's simply a parameter to the specialized function.

(Though FPC 3.3.1 does support constants as generic parameters )

And it is a very nice feature!

That constant is not part of the specialization, it's simply a parameter to the specialized function.

You are right. I completely misread the example 

(Though FPC 3.3.1 does support constants as generic parameters )

Drats.... another (new) thing to learn about.    (I did not know that was possible so thank you for the hint).
