While experimenting with some reachability inference logic, I discovered the following program does not seem to behave as expected:
Both branches really ought to be reachable: since both
x
andA
are of typeAny
, we really can't say whether or not any particular branch will run: both branches ought to be reachable.However, mypy currently instead assumes that only the first branch is reachable and does not type-check the second branch. So in this example, only the first
reveal_type(...)
outputs a note.This pull request fixes this bug.
