error: internal compiler error: unexpected panic
note: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.
note: we would appreciate a bug report: https://github.com/rustlang/rust/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#bug-reports
thread 'rustc' panicked at 'explicit panic', ../src/librbml/lib.rs:436
note: Run with "RUST_BACKTRACE=1" for a backtrace.


Build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...
Could not compile "pistoncore-input".

[pierrechevalier83]

Couldn't reproduce: next time I compiled, I just got a compile error in a different part of the compiled code. Just thought I would raise a ticket anyway because it should probably not have panicked the first time.

Lesson for future generations of rustaceans: don't compile code on friday pub night when drunk: It's bad for your health!

You have a curious idea of a night out!

I think someone is doing error recovery for "error: the crate "bitflags" has been comp
iled with rustc 1.7.0, which is incompatible with this version of rustc"

@pierrechevalier83 Something was very strange in your original description, I tried to clean up the markdown to make it easier to read.

Problem lines of code:

rust/src/libsyntax/errors/mod.rs

Line 209 in 2a815a2

// if self.is_fatal() {

    pub fn emit(&mut self) {
        if self.cancelled() {
            return;
        }

        self.emitter.borrow_mut().emit_struct(&self);
        self.cancel();

        // if self.is_fatal() {
        //     panic!(FatalError);
        // }
    }

Why is the panic commented? cc @nrc

That seems like it should be uncommented. It's a mistake either way, I wouldn't deliberately check-in commented code, but I don't recall if it should be uncommented or just not there. It does seem like we should panic on fatal errors.

The ghost seems to be back, I'm getting this error when compiling RustAudio/synth on Windows. I'll try to get rustc compiled from source to debug this.
