'rustc' panicked at 'called Result::unwrap() on an Err value: TryFromIntError(())

[hzargar2]

I am having compiler errors when compiling my project and there is no specific code that causes the issue. The issue goes away when the size of the file decreases. The file is very long (~85 000 lines) and it is generated by a script. When the first half of the file is removed, it compiles, when the last half is removed it also compiles. But when both are present it does not compile which leads me to believe it is an issue with the length of the file or the number of repeated structs/enums. I have included a code example of a minimum reproducible example. The functions in the file are all similar in structure except with different struct and enum names and extra conditional branches depending on the attributes present in the structs. They represent resolvers in my GraphQL API for the async-graphql lib.

I also have 96GB of ram in my machine.

The issue still persists when the --jobs is set to 1 and when cargo clean if run before compile. Also persists when compiling in --release mode

The problem is that rustc encodes a lot of metadata into tables with u32 indices. I am surprised this hasn't bitten us sooner.

Splitting your project into multiple crates might help you dodge this issue until it is fixed.

Splitting the project into multiple crates fixed the issue but it is from from ideal.

Is this an easy and quick fix or does this require extensive knowledge about the compiler? I may consider attempting it if not even though I have no idea where to start. Also, in the event I am unsuccessful, would you happen to know average turn around times for issues like this?

Thanks again!

[saethlin]

I expect that fixing this will be somewhat challenging. Upgrading any one code path to use a larger index is not that difficult but there are many. And it will probably impose a slowdown on all compiles, which is tough to swallow.

If you want to try to tackle this, the Rust Zulip has a t-compiler/help stream where a number of people could pitch in and help you through trying to fix this. https://forge.rust-lang.org/platforms/zulip.html

This is not a regression so it will not be automatically prioritized but I will nominate the general topic of using 32-bit indices for discussion at the next compiler team weekly meeting. Running out of 32-bit indices like this is quite rare but I have seen it before.

[estebank]

@saethlin could we, as a stop gap, avoid the ICE and produce a hard error asking the user to split their project into multiple crates? There are already errors for recursion limits in Rust and other languages, so it would seem reasonable to have a better DX for an implementation limitation. I could also see us using a new-type index that could be u32 or u64 based on a compiler flag in the future so that people with larger projects could opt-into the more expensive behavior.

[saethlin]

Adding a hard error for this code path sounds like a worthy experiment.

It's not clear to me if adding a compiler flag to toggle the index size would be any better than just switching to u64. If it is runtime-configurable, the compiler needs to contain all the code paths for handling both sizes and we lose any optimizations from constant-propagating the size. I expect we'd still have some wins in u32 mode because of the smaller encoded size, but really this is starting to sound like it has the performance characteristics of a specialized varint encoding. Probably a series of good experiments.

[apiraino]

T-compiler discussed during triage meeting on Zulip (notes).

We agree on the suggestion to turn the ICE into an error and to explore the idea of increasing the index size to u64, run a perf bench and then see the results (maybe discuss them in an MCP). @saethlin volunteered to drive this exploration. Thanks!

I'm seeing this on nightly when building a crate with multiple (64) large (30-80MB) include_bytes! uses. I know there was some recent effort to make include_bytes! not explode in memory usage, and that seems to have made this problem reveal itself more.

[saethlin]

The real solution to your trouble is for my PR linked above to be merged, but FWIW it seems very unlikely to me that my changes to improve include_bytes! performance are responsible for the change you've seen; those changes aren't in the latest nightly.

If you want to know which PR caused the change you should use https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo-bisect-rustc (just make sure to install from git, the published version is broken).
