Description

@josharian
package p

type A [1]int

func bad(x A) {
    switch x {
    case A([1]int{1}):
    case A([1]int{1}):
    }
}

func good(x A) {
    y := A([1]int{1})
    z := A([1]int{1})
    switch x {
    case y:
    case z:
    }
}

Compiling this code generates:

x.go:7: cannot use &statictmp_1 (type *[1]int) as type *A in assignment
x.go:8: cannot use &statictmp_4 (type *[1]int) as type *A in assignment

Observe that func good is more or less equivalent to func bad, but it compiles. The reported types in the error message are also wrong: x is an A, not a *A.

Reproduces in 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6, so setting milestone to 1.8.
