Tinygo: Stack overflow when storing a linked list in an interface

[justinclift]

Hit an interesting stack overflow error when experimenting with TinyGo (dev branch, commit 9a3d0683b34f9f030e1d0323bea849d56054cdec) again just now:

$ tinygo build -o wasm.wasm -opt=1 -target wasm wasm.go

The code which caused it is:

    var colStr strings.Builder
    colStr.WriteString("rgb(")
    colStr.WriteString(strconv.Itoa(colR))
    colStr.WriteString(", ")
    colStr.WriteString(strconv.Itoa(colG))
    colStr.WriteString(", ")
    colStr.WriteString(strconv.Itoa(colB))
    colStr.WriteString(")")

The full code is here if that helps, it's fairly simple:

I managed to reduce the crash to this sample:

package main

type Builder struct {
    addr *Builder
}

func main() {
    var itf interface{}
    itf = Builder{}
    _ = itf
}

This will probably get fixed when I implement support for named types in reflect.

Cool. :smile:

This bug has been fixed in the dev branch.

still I was faced this issue . #309
