Explanation: This problem can crash the compiler with an assert or - even worse - in a non assert compiler produce wrong code for reading a global variable.
Scope of Issue: This can only happen if a global variable is a struct or tuple and one of the elements is an empty type (e.g. an empty tuple or empty struct).
Risk: Low. The fix just adds a check for the case where the compiler would have crashed.
