Looks like the "break rust" easter egg that I added last year is being removed from GCC over being "bloat" and "insulting the GCC users"

Oh well

gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.

gcc.gnu.org114629 – rust-ast-resolve-expr contains bloated code for funny_error

@bugaevc if you can, let the maintainers know that the ICE behavior special casing isn't *necessary*, as failing the compilation due to unknown identifier will already match the relevant behavior of the language. The conversation in that thread still feels a bit weird.

@ekuber it certainly isn't necessary for correctness, IDK why people brought that up, it is strictly a joke. I left an explanation in the source code, perhaps they've missed it
