const fn ICE on nightly

[DutchGhost]

The following ICE's on nightly only:

struct ArrayType<T>(T);

impl <T> ArrayType<T> {
    const ARRAY: [T; 0] = [];
}

pub const fn bug<T>() ->  &'static T {
    &ArrayType::<T>::ARRAY[0]
}

fn main() {
    bug::<i32>();
}

Backtrace:

error: could not compile `playground`.

This ICE is the same as reported in #64945 , however the example given there currently runs fine without any errors.

As the OP notes, this is closely related to #64945. To fix that problem, zero-length arrays were special-cased so that they are never marked as indirectly mutable. However, this did not extend to projections of zero-length arrays. When compiling this code, the IndirectlyMutableLocals analysis sees a reference being taken to a place of type T, which it cannot assume is Freeze. I should be able to make the validation passes agree in this particular case by checking the type of the target of each projection along the borrowed place, suppressing the indirectly mutable annotation for the base local if any of those types are a zero-sized array.

It's unfortunate that we have to treat &VAL_OF_T and &EMPTY_ARRAY_OF_T[42] differently here, but obviously backwards compatibility must be preserved. I wonder if there's a different way to handle this. It seems like NeedsDrop::in_any_value_of_ty() should return false for an empty array?
