Title Body

I'm building an application which uses relatively large tables to do its work ( LR tables , to be precise). As I'm generating code anyway and the table isn't that large, I decided to serialize my table by generating code that uses the C# collection initializer syntax to initialize the table on startup of my generated program: public static readonly int[,] gotoTable = new int[,] { { 0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,(...) }, { 0,0,4,0,5,6,0,0,0,0,0,7,0,0,(...) }, (...) Oddly enough, when I generated a table that had only a couple hundred thousand entries, the application that I generated crashes with a StackOverflowException on startup. The C# compiler compiles it just fine; the table generation application also runs just fine. In fact, when I switched to Release mode, the application did start up. An OutOfMemoryException might have made some sense, but even then the table I use is way to small for an OutOfMemoryException. Code to reproduce this: Warning : trying the code below in release mode crashed Visual Studio 2010 for me; watch out for losing unsaved work. Additionally, if you generate code for which the compiler generates lots of errors, Visual Studio will hang as well. //Generation Project, main.cs: using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter("../../../VictimProject/Tables.cs")) { writer.WriteLine("using System;"); writer.WriteLine("public static class Tables"); writer.WriteLine("{"); writer.WriteLine(" public static readonly Tuple<int>[] bigArray = new Tuple<int>[]"); writer.WriteLine(" {"); for (int i = 0; i < 300000; i++) writer.WriteLine(" new Tuple<int>(" + i + "),"); writer.WriteLine(" };"); writer.WriteLine("}"); } //Victim Project, main.cs: for (int i = 0; i < 1234; i++) {
