fixes #17571
Objects in the VM are represented as object constructor nodes that contain every single field, including ones in different case branches. This is so that every field has a unique invariant index in the object constructor that can be written to and read from. However when converting this node back into semantic code, fields from inactive case branches can remain in the constructor which causes bad codegen, generating assignments to fields from other case branches.
To fix this, fields from inactive branches are now detected in
semmacrosanity.annotateType
(called infixupTypeAfterEval
) and excluded from the resulting node.annotateType
needed to be refactored to have a return value to do this.
