What did you do?

https://play.golang.org/p/3-RUQ50ubib

What did you expect to see?

Something other than compile ballooning to over 6 GB of RAM.

Maybe relates to #27256 and #26863.

Interesting. If I had to guess, we're probably failing to take advantage of memoizing some of the sub-expression typechecking. In general though, anonymous and cyclic interfaces are a recurring source of issues.

Is this derived from any real world code?

Believe it or not. It's from (rudimentary) SQL generator. The anonymous interfaces are used to "mask" off methods. It's not terribly important code, but it also wasn't difficult to stumble upon, either.

A smaller repro:

https://play.golang.org/p/PoFq8QTuiMp

type A interface {
   A() interface {
      A
      B() interface{ A }
   }
}

Even smaller:

https://play.golang.org/p/Yoll2YkmZNS

type A interface {
   A() interface{ A }
   B() interface{ A }
}

Thanks for minimizing the test case.

To clarify, are you saying it uses a lot of memory but then terminates? Or it's going into an infinite loop allocating more and more memory?

(On my phone, and the play links just give a generic compilation failure error.)

This looks like #1909.

@mdempsky I cut it off at > 6 GB since my machine only has 8GB. No idea whether it terminates.

@ALTree Thanks, confirmed it is a dup of that. We just go into an infinite recursion in typefmt.

@elagergren-spideroak Thanks for clarifying.
