Exponential compile time with broken huge nested enum #104162

Open

Description

@jruderman

Long ago, in #42747, an exponential compile time issue was fixed for huge nested enums.

Fuzzing discovered that deleting lines from src/test/ui/enum/issue-42747.rs, and thus introducing a resolve error, brings back exponential compile time.

Code

macro_rules! fooN {
    ($cur:ident $prev:ty) => {
        #[allow(dead_code)]
        enum $cur {
            Empty,
            First($prev),
            Second($prev),
            Third($prev),
            Fourth($prev),
        }
    }
}

fooN!(Foo16 Foo15);  //~ ERROR cannot find type `Foo15` in this scope
fooN!(Foo17 Foo16);
fooN!(Foo18 Foo17);
fooN!(Foo19 Foo18);
fooN!(Foo20 Foo19);
fooN!(Foo21 Foo20);
fooN!(Foo22 Foo21);
fooN!(Foo23 Foo22);
fooN!(Foo24 Foo23);
fooN!(Foo25 Foo24);
fooN!(Foo26 Foo25);
fooN!(Foo27 Foo26);

fn main() {
    let _foo = Foo27::Empty;
}

Where it's slow

The slow passes are wf_checking, item_bodies_checking, and type_check_crate. Memory usage is also much higher than with the non-erroneous, original test.

Note that the error is emitted much earlier, in resolve_report_errors.

    Root-cause is likely that we're doing some expensive computation during typeck, but then suppressing it due to the fact that name resolution fails.
