Stack overflow in rustc using unboxed closure bounds #21410
Description
Attempting to compile this causes rustc to stack overflow:
fn g<F>(_:F) where F:FnOnce(Option<F>) {}
fn main() {
g(|_| { });
}There are other stack overflow issues with recursive traits that seem like they are probably related (#15477 seems like the closest match--maybe #12511, #11824, others?) But they are all about declaring new traits, and here I have it overflowing using only the built in unboxed closure traits. (FnOnce can be replaced with Fn or FnMut and it still reproduces the crash, but I can't produce it with anything not involving a closure.) The use of the closure's own type can be either in a parameter or in the return type--this produces a similar crash:
fn g<F>(_:F) where F:Fn() -> Option<F> {}
fn main() {
g(|_| { None });
}The crash only happens when you actually try to use the function g--just declaring it is accepted (with an appropriate warning about dead code.)
Running a backtrace I found the following frames repeated until overflow:

The presence of closure_to_string in the repeating stack frames makes me think it's something specific to closures, rather than just a special case of one of the already-filed issues affecting traits in general.

This is effectively the same issue as #19596, as we currently don't detect or handle this case at all. The reason why you got a different message is because it's trying to print an error message.
Closing in favor of #19596,

Actually, nevermind me, I misunderstood the issue. Re-opening.
