Silent compiler crash when checking array of pointers to be equal to nil

[4lbert]

Context

Odin:    dev-2024-12:ad99d20d2
OS:      Windows 11 Professional (version: 23H2), build 22631.4602
CPU:     AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core Processor
RAM:     16294 MiB
Backend: LLVM 18.1.8

Expected Behavior

Should give a compiler error message like this: Error: Cannot convert untyped value 'nil' to '[2]^int' from 'untyped nil'

Current Behavior

Compilation gives no error message and no binary is produced.

Failure Information

Checking an array to be equal to nil gives a compiler error as expected, but no error is given if the array holds pointers.

This works as expected:

a: [2]int
fmt.println(a == nil) // Error: Cannot convert untyped value 'nil' to '[2]int' from 'untyped nil'

but this silently crashes the compiler:

a: [2]^int
fmt.println(a == nil)

Steps to Reproduce

package main

import "core:fmt"

main :: proc() {
	a: [2]^int
	fmt.println(a == nil)
}

When running odin run . nothing gets printed.

Failure Logs
