[cfe-dev] Seeing "`!HitMapping && "recursive macro expansion?"' assertion failure -- hoping for hints on cause

[Chris Hamilton via cfe-dev]

Hi folks (especially Ilya Biryukov),

 

I'm working with clangd under the Theia IDE, and while browsing source, I'm
regularly seeing this assertion failure from clangd:

 

root ERROR C/C++: clangd:
/repo/eahcmrh/flexc-llvm-project/clang/lib/Tooling/Syntax/Tokens.cpp:473:
void
clang::syntax::TokenCollector::Builder::consumeMapping(clang::syntax::TokenB
uffer::MarkedFile&, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned
int&): Assertion `!HitMapping && "recursive macro expansion?"' failed.

 

Outside of working on some clang-tidy checks, I've had very little
experience with clang front-end code, and I'm struggling to root cause this.
Ilya, the assertion is coming from code you added about 5 months ago, so I'm
hoping you might have some suggestions about what might cause this error,
given that it is cropping up in unmodified source files that are known to
compile.

 

I'm working on trying to extract some non-proprietary code that triggers the
failure - if I'm able, I'll file a bug for it.   Regardless of whether I
file a bug, I'd like to root-cause this and perhaps even identify a fix,
because it is blocking some folks in my team from making progress on other
objectives.   I'd be grateful for any suggestions on where to look to narrow
this down..

 

Thanks,

Chris
