Before filing a bug, please check whether it has been fixed since the
latest release. Search the issue tracker and check that you're running the
latest version of Go:

Run "go version" and compare against
http://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html  If a newer version of Go exists,
install it and retry what you did to reproduce the problem.

Thanks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
If possible, include a link to a program on play.golang.org.
1. mkdir hang && curl -o hang/h.go http://play.golang.org/p/3cqUaN1ksC.go 
2. vet hang

What is the expected output?
vet reports something or nothing, but exits eventually.

What do you see instead?
vet enters an infinite loop and never exits, sucking 100% of the CPU

hich compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?
6g

Which operating system are you using?
linux


Which version are you using?  (run 'go version')
1.1.2, but the vet binary was built from an up-to-date go.tools/cmd/vet repo

Comment 1:

I can reproduce the issue.
The type checker gets stuck in a loop between matchArgType and matchStructArgType:
main.(*File).matchArgType(0x2106a9300, 0xe, 0x60ee30, 0x21065eab0, 0x60ebe8, ...)
    code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/vet/types.go:149 +0xa79 fp=0x2212209188
main.(*File).matchStructArgType(0x2106a9300, 0xe, 0x2106ac000, 0x60ebe8, 0x2106bc160,
...)
    code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/vet/types.go:225 +0xc0 fp=0x22122091d0

Comment 2:

This is not a bug in go/types but cmd/vet. I cannot deal with recursive structs.
