Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

yes

What did you do?

ran
go build -gcflags='all=-N -l'
when I run "go build" it works but the above breaks.
Unfortunately I can't provide source code. It's closed source.

What did you expect to see?

A binary executable.

What did you see instead?

Compiler hangs for 30 minutes before exiting with this error:

# github.com/parsable/mothership/vendor/github.com/parsable/thrift-api/v1/thrift_metadata

I'll try to reproduce the program as a smaller version later, but this is really hard to determine as the project is really large... for now this is all I got... perhaps you guys have some insight?

Does it work with 1.11.4 ?

[ALTree]

AFAIK this is likely to be caused by an old and known compiler issue related to liveliness analysis.

If you have a really big map literal in your code (possibly auto-generated), that's likely to be the culprit.

I've also encountered this crash while fuzzing the compiler on -N -l with really big functions (>1000s lines) with many many variables in them.

[pyrofolium]

@agnivade same error with 1.11.4. I moved to beta to see if it was fixed. Seems related to the issues below so I moved to beta to see if there was a fix.

#26560
#26552
issue 26552 says that the fix is getting punted to 1.13

You guys know about a temporary fix in the mean time?

See #26560 (comment)

[...] you might try reorganizing your code. Use a slice as the underlying data structure and copy it into a map in an init function. Presumably that code is autogenerated so it might require only a small change to the generator.
