Equivalent guard-case expressions produce different results in Swift Testing’s #expect (compiler crash)

[yakovmanshin]

Description

Two seemingly equivalent guard-case expressions result in different outcomes when they’re used inside an #expect call in Swift Testing:

// Compiles fine:
guard case .keyNotFound(let key, _) = error as? DecodingError else { return false }

// “Command SwiftCompile failed with a nonzero exit code:”
guard case DecodingError.keyNotFound(let key, _) = error else { return false }

I reported this in the Swift Testing repo. @stmontgomery suggested this could be caused by a compiler crash.

Reproduction

I was able to reproduce the issue in multiple iOS projects, including a newly-created one.

The following code causes the crash:

#expect {
    try someThrowingFunction()
} throws: { error in
    guard case DecodingError.keyNotFound(let key, _) = error else { return false }
    return key.stringValue == "expectedKey"
}

Complete file

@testable import SomeApp

import Testing

func someThrowingFunction() throws { }

struct SomeAppTests {
    
    @Test func someTest() {
        #expect {
            try someThrowingFunction()
        } throws: { error in
            // This works:
//            guard case .keyNotFound(let key, _) = error as? DecodingError else { return false }
            
            // This doesn’t:
            guard case DecodingError.keyNotFound(let key, _) = error else { return false }
            
            return key.stringValue == "expectedKey"
        }
    }
    
}

Expected behavior

The two guard-case expressions can be used interchangeably.
