Fábio Beirão (May 28 2023 at 21:23): Fábio Beirão (May 28 2023 at 21:23):While fooling around with creating a new example I have come across this "Definitely a compiler bug", "There can only be floats here!":

This is the nightly from 4 days ago, I'll grab the most recentest nightly and try again. I did a quick search in Zulip and github issues and couldn't find something similar. I am pretty sure this is user error, but thought maybe it was worth mentioning.
Brendan Hansknecht (May 28 2023 at 21:32):Running roc check can sometime be informative for this kind of stuff
Fábio Beirão (May 28 2023 at 21:33)::check: Yes, still happening in latest nightly.
roc check states 0 errors and 0 warnings found in 21 ms.

Let me find the smallest bit of code that reproduces the issue
Brendan Hansknecht (May 28 2023 at 21:33):Definitely a compiler bug just means we hit something in the compile that we think should be impossible no matter the user code.
Brendan Hansknecht (May 28 2023 at 21:34):Anyway, source code and if possible a minimal repo/filed bug would be great.
Fábio Beirão (May 28 2023 at 21:37):When I do roc run instead of roc test I get:
The surgical linker currently has issue #3609 and would fail linking your app.
Please use--linker=legacyto avoid the issue for now.
And if I do roc run --linker=legacy then the app actually runs.. :thinking:
Fábio Beirão (May 28 2023 at 21:45):Opened issue #5467 with the code that reproduces the issue
