[ICE]: panicked at eval_context.rs:620:33

[lmaltsis]

I tried this code:
https://godbolt.org/z/5T4ThrvP8

static C: &'static usize = &(0 | E);
static E: usize = E;

I expected to see this happen: encountered static that tried to access itself during initialization

Instead, this happened:

error[E0080]: encountered static that tried to access itself during initialization
 --> <source>:2:19
  |
2 | static E: usize = E;
  |                   ^ evaluation of `E` failed here

note: erroneous constant encountered
 --> <source>:2:19
  |
2 | static E: usize = E;
  |                   ^

error: internal compiler error: /rustc-dev/cced03bfd61a304243a34504618ecec86c17063f/compiler/rustc_const_eval/src/interpret/eval_context.rs:620:33: interpret const eval failure of Unevaluated(UnevaluatedConst { def: DefId(0:3 ~ example[96fa]::C), args: [], promoted: Some(promoted[0]) }, &'{erased} usize) which is not in required_consts
