Compiler asks for already present bound

[newpavlov]

While working on RustCrypto/stream-ciphers#195. I got roughly the following code:

use generic_array::{GenericArray, ArrayLength, typenum::{Unsigned, Quot, U16}};
use core::ops::Div;

pub trait Foo: Copy + Default {
 type Size: Unsigned;

 fn load<N>(block: &GenericArray<u8, N>) -> GenericArray<Self, Quot<N, Self::Size>>
 where
 N: ArrayLength<u8> + Div<Self::Size>,
 Quot<N, Self::Size>: ArrayLength<Self>
 {
 Default::default()
 }
}

#[derive(Copy, Clone, Default)]
#[repr(transparent)]
struct Bar(u128);

impl Foo for Bar {
 type Size = U16;
}

It compiles without issues. The default method impl will not be present in the final code, I just use it to show that the bounds are correct.

But if we are to overwrite the load method in the Bar impl by simply copying the default impl:

impl Foo for Bar {
 type Size = U16;

 fn load<N>(block: &GenericArray<u8, N>) -> GenericArray<Self, Quot<N, Self::Size>>
 where
 N: ArrayLength<u8> + Div<Self::Size>,
 Quot<N, Self::Size>: ArrayLength<Self>
 {
 Default::default()
 }
}

Playground

Compiler will return the following compilation errors:

error: aborting due to 3 previous errors

Replacing Div<Self::Size> with Div<U16> or even with explicit Div<Uint<..>> does not fix the error.

[newpavlov]

I think the "needs repro" tag is wrong. The bug is reproduced in the playground link. It's not a minimal example, but it's a reproduction nevertheless.

[workingjubilee]

thanks for saying so! sorry, some of our automated triage steps recently involved some mistakes while we were trying to sift "things that lack an actually minimal example" from "things that lack any example at all".

[RodBurman]

The example code that "Compiles without issues" no longer does, I expect this is a change to GenericArray or a swap to a different supplier of that type. In the playground I get:

As a check I tried a build locally on my Mac using:
rod@Mac % cargo --version
cargo 1.81.0 (2dbb1af80 2024-08-20)
rod@Mac % cargo --version
cargo 1.81.0 (2dbb1af80 2024-08-20)

and I got the same errors.

[newpavlov]

I expect this is a change to GenericArray

Yes, the snippet targets generic-array v0.14, not v1.

[RodBurman]

Unfortunately the playground only has the options of versions 1.1.0 or 0.14.7 of GenericArray which both fail the "modern way", so the crate changes in one of the 0.14.x versions to make the original code non-viable.
If I use my local compiler and GenericArray version 0.14.0 the problem is reproducible with slightly different (expanded) compiler messages:
