Constant evaluation error in vm/reflect_core_vm_test when switching the parser to fasta

Are there failures to track here, or can we close this?

[devoncarew]

I see only one reference in the sdk, in language_2/language_2_analyzer.status, for the vm/reflect_core_vm_test test.

[danrubel]

After the switch, these issues still need to be addressed:

• vm/reflect_core_vm_test in language_2/language_2_analyzer.status

[devoncarew]

@danrubel, I moved a few from the list above (which didn't seem necessarily language_2 related) to #34395.

[danrubel]

The reflect_core_vm_test.dart appears to parse and build an AST correctly. It generates a error stating Evaluation of this constant expression throws an expression.

[bwilkerson]

Does the test need to be updated (either to not have that error or to expect an error)? Or is there a bug in the constant evaluation code?

[danrubel]

Good question. I'm hoping that someone with better knowledge of the const evaluation system will chime in.
