Compiler segfault in codegen when putting nested importCpp type into seq

[RedBeard0531]

Example

The following code causes a segfault in the nim compiler itself.

type
  Foo* {.importC, nodecl.} = object # doesn't matter if this is importC or importCpp
    value*: int64
  Bar* {.importCpp, nodecl.} = object # no segfault with importC
    foo*: Foo

discard @[Bar()]

This appears to be a minimal repo. In particular, Foo needs to have a member, and Bar needs to be put into a seq. I don't know what other uses of Bar would also cause a compiler segfault, but discard Bar() was insufficient.

Expected Output

The compiler shouldn't segfault? Ideally this would generate working code. If there is a problem with the source file (I don't think there is), it should output a clear error.

Possible Solution

🤷

Additional Information

Repros at least in 1.6.6 and devel as of efcb89f

Seems to work in 2.0+
