[ICE]: associated type missing default #152663

@matthiaskrgr

Description

@matthiaskrgr

auto-reduced (treereduce-rust):

trait Iterable {
    type Iter;
}
impl<T> Iterable for [T] {
    fn iter() -> Self::Iter {}
}

original:

trait Iterable {
    type Iter;
}
impl<T> Iterable for [T] {
	//type Iter = T;
    fn iter() -> Self::Iter {}
}
fn main() {}
