rustc stack overflow

[ConnyOnny]

This code makes the current stable and nightly rustc overflow its stack:

assert_eq!(0,-(i32::max_value()));

It seems to be a combination of the macro invocation, the negation and the fact that i32::max_value is a somewhat special function. If I replace any of the three, compilation works fine (i.e. no assertion => works; no negation => works, get i32::max_value with an indirection to another function => works).

Exact code to reproduce ("lib.rs"):

fn foo() {
    assert_eq!(0,-(i32::max_value()));
}

Exact command prompt:

/tmp/blub$ rustup run nightly cargo build --verbose
   Compiling blub v0.1.0 (file:///tmp/blub)
     Running `rustc --crate-name blub src/lib.rs --crate-type lib -g -C metadata=9ae2a3c37cd740a3 -C extra-filename=-9ae2a3c37cd740a3 --out-dir /tmp/blub/target/debug/deps --emit=dep-info,link -L dependency=/tmp/blub/target/debug/deps`

thread 'rustc' has overflowed its stack
fatal runtime error: stack overflow
error: Could not compile `blub`.

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `rustc --crate-name blub src/lib.rs --crate-type lib -g -C metadata=9ae2a3c37cd740a3 -C extra-filename=-9ae2a3c37cd740a3 --out-dir /tmp/blub/target/debug/deps --emit=dep-info,link -L dependency=/tmp/blub/target/debug/deps` (exit code: 1)

EDIT: Oh and my platform is Ubuntu AMD64.

EDIT2:

$ rustup run nightly rustc --version --verbose

But as I said, it also works on stable.

Likely a duplicate of #37991.

[nikomatsakis]

@eddyb also thinks a likely duplicate.

@arielb1 Is this fixed now, can we close this issue?

[ConnyOnny]

yup (tested with stable 1.15 and nightly c49d102 2017-02-07)
