The diagnostics of the code above:
```txt
<source>:5:19: error: static assertion failed due to requirement 'False<int>'
5 | static_assert(False<T>);
| ^~~~~~~~
#Mark
<source>:10:3: note: in instantiation of member function 'A<>::A' requested here
10 | B<{}> b;
| ^
1 error generated.
```
Thanks to error recovery, the return value is never `ExprError()`, so the note is not emitted, which makes users harder to understand what happens. If we use `CodeSynthesisContext`, the note will be emitted at `#Mark`.
