regression: binop(?) type inference failures

[Mark-Simulacrum]

A bunch of errors around type inference failure detected in the crater run -- I would like us to track down the PR causing these since I'm not finding an obvious reason off hand:

It seems plausible this is the breakage noted in #90904, but we should confirm.

[Mark-Simulacrum]

We will want to do a re-run of beta crater once #91484 or equivalent is beta-backported to confirm the majority/all of these are fixed before closing this, but generally it's likely that they will be.

I just did some bisection the other day; it's pretty painless on my M1 pro macbook (~2-4 minutes per build). If this still needs bisection, and somebody can give me a range of commits, I'd be happy to try to bisect it.

[workingjubilee]

Since each regression is likely due to #89167,
and each is likely fixed after #91484
we want to check, for each regression:

• does this build on e90c5fb?
• does this build after 032dfe4 but before 11fb21f?
• does this build after 11fb21f?

And any curiosities can be handled from there.

[BGR360]

For the regressions starting with reg/, where do I get those? The other ones have git repos I can clone (gh/), but I don't intuit what "reg" stands for.

EDIT: oh, does it just mean reg-ular crates.io crates?

[BGR360]

Here's what I got with the GitHub ones.

Not sure what's up with desbma.motd. I made sure to check out the same revision of the repo that was used in the crater logs, but it failed to compile even on stable (with a different error than that in the crater logs). Maybe the author force-pushed that commit or something.

[workingjubilee]

Thank you, it looks like it was in fact that PR then and that did in fact fix it, it seems.
Ah, I suppose we could also check 477fd70, but I will likely do that when I try to reimplement splatting.

[pietroalbini]

Hmm, what's the status of this?

[Mark-Simulacrum]

Should be fixed by #92592 on beta, closing.
