Issue ID: 14419
Summary: [CTFE] Need infinite loop detection?
Product: D
Version: D1 & D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: DMD
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
This was noticed and raised in GDC Bugzilla #178 because of a typo in the code.
http://bugzilla.gdcproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178
What it boils down to is this:
---
int foo() { while (true) { } return 1; }
enum bar = foo; // User meant to type '&foo'
---
Perfectly valid code causing an infinite loop in CTFE. Obviously this is a bug
vs. feature argument, but infinite loop detection should really be a feature of
CTFE to avoid accidental build bugs from occurring.
