Would it be sufficient to just use an integer argument to limit the call depth? That would avoid a crash in erroneous tests without affecting compilation for correct programs.

Is there a limit for number of nested calls of these functions for correct programs? Or, maybe, we should use some //big enough// value that //probably// is not encountered in correct programs, yet lets us avoid the stack overflow?

Ok, I'll try it and submit the updated patch if it works

Comment at: flang/lib/Semantics/check-declarations.cpp:1789
if (!details) {
+ if (generic.test(Symbol::Flag::Function)) {
+ Characterize(generic);

Well, if we delete this chunk of code and run the test, we will get an ICE in the lowering part of the compiler because we do not call the `Characterize` on `foo` or `r` (from the test) because they do not have `GenericDetails`. And because there's not any other compile errors, the execution of compiler successfully goes to the lowering, where it tries to generate `Procedure` for `foo` via `Characterize` and crashes there. I added the code here specifically for functions, to enable at least some semantic checks for the `generic` symbol.
This is not the best solution and I'd be glad to consider your (or anyone else's) advices how to make it better, if you have any.
