   I think I came across this when doing my work with consts; iirc, looking at the LLVM IR that this produces shows various weird pointer casts that end up passing the complete wrong value when printing the list.

   Slightly better test case:

   use std::io;
   
   struct T (&'static [int]);
   static t : T = T (&'static [5, 4, 3]);
   fn main () {
       assert_eq!(t[0], 5);
   }
   

   Reproduced with 93c270c. Nominating for milestone 5, production-ready

   I believe that this may be the cause of #7617
