When casting to
Nothing
, rather than relying on the cast toscala.runtime.Nothing$
to throw aClassCastException
we evaluate the qualifier and then thorw. This makes sure that the casenull.asInstanceOf[Nothing]
(i.e.null.asInstanceOf[scala.runtime.Nothing$]
in bytecode) does not succeed.Also fix #4410.
This fix also aligns with Scala.js #1002 (comment)
