When assigning constant output to a seq, and then passing that static
seq to other functions that take
openArray
, the compiler may end upproducing errors, as it does not know how to convert
static[seq[T]]
to
openArray[T]
. By ignoring thestatic
wrapper on the type forthe purpose of determining data memory location and length, this gets
resolved cleanly. Unfortunately, it is relatively tricky to come up
with a minimal example, as there are followup problems from the failing
conversion, e.g., this may lead to
internal error: inconsistent environment type
, instead of the relevantopenArrayLoc
error message.(cherry picked from commit 490c422)
