compiler panic on invalid procedure aliasing

[awwdev]

Context

Odin: dev-2021-12:eec61c3f The compiler flag check will not produce the panic. You need to use build (or run).

Current Behavior

The following invalid syntax causes a compiler panic:

FOO :: proc() //same outcome with or without the attribute #type 
foo :: FOO {} //invalid syntax (Odin does not have this type of procedure aliasing)
foo()

Odin\src\llvm_backend_general.cpp(2409): Panic: nullptr value for expression from identifier: <your_package_name>.foo (29d1538d140) : FOO @ 29cbffa1b90

Expected Behavior

Instead of panicking, the compiler should report an error message about this invalid syntax. Additionally, the parser alone (invoked by check) should already catch the error, prior to compilation.

FOO {} //invalid syntax Is actually valid syntax and semantics, it's just defining a nil procedure of FOO type

However, this is a bug in the backend.

Appears to be fixed (tested with version dev-2022-09:98420192), there is no more compiler panic. It reports the following user error instead: Illegal declaration of a constant procedure value
