Internal Compiler Error

[vsupalov]

Compiler panics and tells me to report the bug.

I tried this code:

use chrono::DateTime;
use chrono::UTC;

extern crate chrono;

enum TagType {
    Path(Path),
    //http://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/string/struct.String.html
    String(String),
    //std::fs uses time_t
    //https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/std/fs/struct.Metadata.html
    Date(DateTime<UTC>),
}

struct Tag {
    name: String,
    data: Box<TagType>,
}

impl Tag {
    pub fn new(name: String, data: Box<TagType>) -> Tag {
        Tag {
            name: name,
            data: data,
        }
    }
}

fn main() {
}

I expected to see this happen: the code compiling.

Instead, this happened: a compiler panic

I'm guessing Path is std::path::Path?

Then, I think, this should be a dup of #16812

[vsupalov]

Yes. I failed to copy the line for this one, sorry. Removing the path fixes the problem.

Closing as duplicate.
