Bug Report

Running mypy on the following program produces a segfault.

To Reproduce

from typing import Literal, TypeAlias, Union


Expr: TypeAlias = Union[
    tuple[Literal["const"], int],
    tuple[Literal["neg"], "Expr"],
]


def eval(e: Expr) -> int:
    if e[0] == "const":
        return e[1]
    elif e[0] == "neg":
        return -eval(e[1])

Expected Behavior

Mypy returns successfully.

Actual Behavior

Mypy segfaults:

The problem can be replicated in the mypy playground.
