wasm32-unknown-unknown stuck in infinite loop when compiling fluent-bundle at opt-level=3

[SOF3]

I failed to reproduce a minimum reproducible example for this bug, but the full steps to reproduce my scenario is found here: https://github.com/traffloat/traffloat/runs/4251506793

(Put simply: clone the repo, cd client, run cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown )

Observation: when cargo compiles up to the fluemt-bundle crate, rustc keeps running for a few minutes on 100% CPU, using more and more RAM until the OOM killer from the OS stops it.

This only happens when I compile without the --releade flag. However, pay attention that I set opt-level=3 in the workspace Cargo.toml.

Furthermore, this only happens in the build stage with --target wasm32-unknown-unknown. This does not happen on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

The issue cannot be reproduced by compiling a dummy crate that only includes that dependency.

The issue cannot be reproduced by compiling a dummy crate that only includes that dependency.

Sounds very similar to what I experienced in #89647 , may be same as #89524 too.

I have checked that disabling optimizations stops reproducing this issue.

Note that my workspace was configured like this:

[profile.dev]
opt-level = 3

[profile.dev.package]
my-first-package = {opt-level = 0}
my-second-package = {opt-level = 0}
my-other-packages = {opt-level = 0}

By applying the patch

 [profile.dev]
-opt-level = 3
+opt-level = 0

the issue is no longer reproduced.

Furthermore, this bug is also avoided by disabling optimizations for fluent-bundle only:

[profile.dev.package]
+fluent-bundle = {opt-level = 0}

The issue also doesn't occur in opt-level = 2. This seems to imply that the optimizations from level 2 to level 3 are causing the bug.

Strange thing is that the issue is not reproduced when I compile the whole project in release mode. Maybe something to do with the inconsistency of debug_assertions vs opt-level?

Note also that I have LTO enabled in release mode where this bug is not reproduced, but that seems unlikely to be relevant.
