ICE - 'cannot access a scoped thread local variable without calling `set` first'

[omerbenamram]

Hello,

After updating nightly version to 2019-07-31 (also fails on 2019-08-04), previously working code no longer compiles.
I can confirm that it compiles successfully on nightly-2019-07-30.

EDIT: Happens on debug aswell, also doesn't happen on macOS, but I'm not sure whether it's a transitive dependency or a windows specific thing.

Traceback:

note: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.

note: we would appreciate a bug report: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#bug-reports

note: rustc 1.38.0-nightly (8a58268b5 2019-07-31) running on x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

note: some of the compiler flags provided by cargo are hidden

The repo is private so unfortunately i cannot link to it.
If there are any details that may help debugging this I will be happy to assist :)

Thanks!

You could try to minimize the example and try to create a mcve. If you need help with it, you can ask here. I can give you some guideance.

[omerbenamram]

@hellow554 I've minimized it quite a bit. It seems to be an issue with a plugin that we have that encrypts strings. I don't have a problem sharing this code so:

https://github.com/omerbenamram/rust-63283-mcve

cargo +nightly-2019-07-31 run should ICE (on windows).

This plugin has been broken on nightly updates before, but never crashed.

[hellow554]

Plugins are kind of deprecated in favor of proc macros. You should concider upgrading them in the future.

Unfortunately the ICE does not occur neither on my linux nor on my windows machine. Maybe it's an incremental compiling problem? Is the error still present if you do cargo clean first and build afterwards?

[petrochenkov]

This may be a duplicate of #62717.
In that case it can be fixed by linking to rustc_driver.

cc #62727

[omerbenamram]

@hellow554 it still happens after cargo clean here.
I'm running windows 10 build 1903 (18362.267).
Are there any other details that could affect rustc in that regard?

[omerbenamram]

@petrochenkov linking against rustc_driver prevents the ICE. nice :)
