Issue did not exist in rustc 1.19.0-nightly (5f3966864 2017-05-25). Issue does exist in rustc 1.19.0-nightly (557967766 2017-05-26). 5f39668...5579677

Issue is that rustc is suddenly burning through a ton of memory. I had to kill it when it got to around 5GB because I don't want my computer to swap to death.

Code that is failing to compile is just a bunch of GUID constants. https://github.com/retep998/winapi-rs/blob/0.2/lib/dxguid/src/lib.rs

Doing the run with -Ztime-passes I get through the following stages without issue

time: 0.017; rss: 21MB  parsing
time: 0.000; rss: 21MB  recursion limit
time: 0.000; rss: 21MB  crate injection
time: 0.000; rss: 21MB  plugin loading
time: 0.000; rss: 21MB  plugin registration
time: 0.506; rss: 85MB  expansion
time: 0.000; rss: 85MB  maybe building test harness
time: 0.001; rss: 85MB  maybe creating a macro crate
time: 0.000; rss: 85MB  checking for inline asm in case the target doesn't support it
time: 0.003; rss: 85MB  early lint checks
time: 0.001; rss: 85MB  AST validation

After that should come name resolution but instead it just sits around burning up memory.

@jseyfried

Based on the commits in the commit range, I'm going to accuse @jseyfried of causing this with #40847

Some performance testing by removing lines indicates that the time taken and memory used is roughly linear with the number of lines. Approximately 0.1 seconds and 12MB of memory per line.

Interestingly, the issue only occurs when DEFINE_GUID! is imported via #[macro_use(DEFINE_GUID)] extern crate winapi;. If I define the macro locally, then the issue goes away.

triage: P-high

@pnkfelix

ping @pnkfelix -- this seems to be of pretty high importance. I'm not sure whether @jseyfried has time to make progress on it now, maybe you can look into it a bit?

Sorry for the delay getting to this -- I worked on this yesterday and couldn't repro. I tried on a Linux and a Windows system with a couple of recent nightlies. I have some extra time this week, so once I can repro I believe I can investigate and fix within a day.

Reproduced, working on a fix now.

Fixed in #42728.

Rollup merge of rust-lang#42728 - jseyfried:fix_resolve_perf, r=nrc
