Compile crash

[crat1985]

Zig Version

0.14.0-dev.1200+104553714

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

Create a new Zig project directory, and replace the main file content with the following :

const std = @import("std");

pub const StackAllocator = struct {
    data: [40]u8 = undefined,
    offset: usize = 0,

    const Self = @This();

    fn alloc(ctx: *anyopaque, n: usize, ptr_align: u8, return_address: usize) ?[*]u8 {
        const self: *Self = @ptrCast(@alignCast(ctx));
        // _ = n;
        // _ = self;

        _ = ptr_align;
        _ = return_address;

        const data = self.data[self.offset .. self.offset + n];

        return data.ptr + n;
        // return null;
    }

    pub fn allocator(comptime self: *Self) std.mem.Allocator {
        return std.mem.Allocator{ .ptr = self, .vtable = &.{ .alloc = alloc, .free = undefined, .resize = undefined } };
    }
};

pub const HandlerFn =
    *const fn () void;

pub fn main() !void {
    comptime {
        var stack_allocator = StackAllocator{};

        const allocator = stack_allocator.allocator();

        const value =
            try allocator.create(HandlerFn);

        const handle_fn = struct {
            fn handle() void {}
        }.handle;

        value.* = handle_fn;
    }
}

Run zig build

Expected Behavior

The code to compile or at least to throw a real error (I think the issue comes from setting the std.mem.Allocator VTable's functions to undefined). When compiling, I get the following error :

└─ install zig-tiny-http
   └─ zig build-exe zig-tiny-http Debug native failure

When using this code :

const std = @import("std");

pub const StackAllocator = struct {
    data: [40]u8 = undefined,
    offset: usize = 0,

    const Self = @This();

    fn alloc(ctx: *anyopaque, n: usize, ptr_align: u8, return_address: usize) ?[*]u8 {
        const self: *Self = @ptrCast(@alignCast(ctx));
        _ = n;
        _ = self;

        _ = ptr_align;
        _ = return_address;

        // const data = self.data[self.offset .. self.offset + n];

        // return data.ptr + n;
        return null;
    }

    pub fn allocator(comptime self: *Self) std.mem.Allocator {
        return std.mem.Allocator{ .ptr = self, .vtable = &.{ .alloc = alloc, .free = undefined, .resize = undefined } };
    }
};

pub const HandlerFn =
    *const fn () void;

pub fn main() !void {
    comptime {
        var stack_allocator = StackAllocator{};

        const allocator = stack_allocator.allocator();

        const value =
            try allocator.create(HandlerFn);

        const handle_fn = struct {
            fn handle() void {}
        }.handle;

        value.* = handle_fn;
    }
}

The diff is :

     fn alloc(ctx: *anyopaque, n: usize, ptr_align: u8, return_address: usize) ?[*]u8 {
         const self: *Self = @ptrCast(@alignCast(ctx));
-        // _ = n;
-        // _ = self;
+        _ = n;
+        _ = self;
 
         _ = ptr_align;
         _ = return_address;
 
-        const data = self.data[self.offset .. self.offset + n];
+        // const data = self.data[self.offset .. self.offset + n];
 
-        return data.ptr + n;
-        // return null;
+        // return data.ptr + n;
+        return null;
     }
 
     pub fn allocator(comptime self: *Self) std.mem.Allocator {

There is a compiler error :
