fsc.exe fails with StackOverflowException on a big file.

See original GitHub issue

I have a project which fails to compile with this output in VS:

error MSB6006: "fsc.exe" exited with code -1073741571.

When I compile from command line:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\F#\4.0\Framework\v4.0\fsc.exe" -o:obj\Debug\myassembly.dll -g --debug:full --noframework --define:DEBUG --define:TRACE --doc:..\..\..\..\bin\Debug\myassembly.XML --optimize- --tailcalls- -r:C:\work\gitsvnclone\packages\FSharp.Core\lib\net40\FSharp.Core.dll -r:C:\work\gitsvnclone\packages\FSharp.Data.SqlClient\lib\net40\FSharp.Data.SqlClient.dll -r:C:\work\gitsvnclone\UPLAN\Lib\lcg.Shared\lcg.Common.FrameworkExtensions.dll -r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\mscorlib.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\System.Core.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\System.Data.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\System.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\System.Numerics.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\System.Xml.dll" --target:library --warn:3 --warnaserror:76 --vserrors --LCID:1033 --utf8output --fullpaths --flaterrors --highentropyva- --sqmsessionguid:be8a0043-8b0f-4af0-ab48-a438b86f0a63 --keyfile:"../../../../Tools/Signing/uplan_signing.snk" "C:\Users\gauthier.segay\AppData\Local\Temp\.NETFramework,Version=v4.0.AssemblyAttributes.fs" all the .fs files

I get this:

Microsoft (R) F# Compiler version 14.0.23413.0
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Process is terminated due to StackOverflowException.

There is a big file (8k lines) with a lots of static declarations in the project.

Is there anyway I can investigate the stack trace before it fails?

Since nobody seems to have confirmed this (I read “I believe” not as a confirmation that it is definitely fixed), I tried the zipped repro with F# 4.0 and F# 4.1, with .NET 4.5.2 and .NET 4.7 in VS2017 RTM and VS2017 latest previews and F# nightlies. Conclusion:

Works like a charm🥇!
