Error on build: Assertion failed!

[m910q]

When building the following code on Windows:

exported func main() {
}

Produces this error:

Running:
c:\cmd\vale\midas.exe --verify --output_dir build build\vast\mypackagename.vast build\vast\stdlib.vast build\vast\__vale.vast
Region override: assist
Warning: not using census when in assist mode!
Assertion failed!

I did some testing:

• Removed everything from stdlib except cast.vale, print.vale and str.vale.
• Removed all vassert calls since it is not available (it's in panic.vale)

It still produces the same error. So the Assertion failed! seems to come from Midas. I searched the generated Build folder for Assertion failed!, and found nothing.

This happens when we don't run it in the x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 shell... which shouldn't be necessary. I suspect this broke when we removed the old valec.py, which (IIRC) set up a session that mimicked the cross tools command prompt.

Until I fix this, temporary workaround is to run in a x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 shell.
