@mdempsky requested issue #54302 to be considered for backport to the next 1.18 minor release.

@gopherbot Please backport to Go 1.19. This is a regression from Go 1.18.

Reportedly this affects Go 1.18.5 too.

The fix is very non-invasive, so maybe we should still consider it for backporting to Go 1.18, if it's something that worked in earlier 1.18 point releases.

I'm happy to backport as the CL is clearly safe.

In Go 1.18.5, DynamicTypeAssertExpr still had just one T field. It wasn't split into the separate RType and ITab fields until 2a6e138 (which I can see added the issue), and was first released in Go 1.19. So I don't think there's anything to backport actually.

I'm also not able to reproduce the minimized test case failure with Go 1.18.

@borzovplus You said this issue is affecting you with Go 1.18.5? Can you please file a new issue with repro steps? Thanks.

unfortunately, I didn't figure out how to lay out the playback steps correctly for the new issue, so I attach the archive of the test project where this problem is reproduced in 1.18.5 and also in 1.19 (it might be worth checking out your fix on this project)

@borzovplus Thanks, I can reproduce the failure. It looks like a regression introduced in Go 1.18.4. I can also confirm it's unrelated to this issue.

The back trace with -gcflags=-h is:

# test
./api/common/api.go:37:8: internal compiler error: panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Please file a bug report including a short program that triggers the error.

I'll file a new issue once I have a shorter repro.
