Fixes #10350.
It turns out
get_while_cond_assign_targetisn't needed at all; if awhilecondition declares multiple variables, all these variables outside the loop can receive their types in the conditions, except that if a variable is nil-if-read (i.e. it is not initialized in all execution paths of the condition expression), then it also receives the type at the end of thewhilebody because the assignments in the condition might not be run after a loop iteration:One known issue is simply reading the variable in the loop body resets the nil-if-read status of that variable (inCrystal::MainVisitor#visit(node : Var)):This is added as a pending test case. A workaround is to definexbefore thewhileexpression, so that it is never nil-if-read. (I suspect the reason this doesn't happen toifexpressions is because they havebefore_then_varswhereaswhileloops have no such equivalent.) This does not impact #10350.The second commit fixes that.
