Using Scala version 2.8.0.r22204-b20100614112503 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.6.0_20), compiling the following program causes an infinite recursion:

object Append extends Application {

  def append[A](l1: List[A], l2: List[A]):List[A] =
    l1 match {
      case Nil => l2
      case x::xs => x :: append(xs, l2)
    }

  println(scala.reflect.Code.lift(append _).tree)
}

It appears that the recursion occurs during reification of the List[A] type. The stack trace is as follows:

@soc said (edited on Aug 5, 2011 11:31:59 PM UTC):
I'm not sure if it is exactly the same, but I can get the crash in Scala version 2.10.0.r25323-b20110719020429 with much simpler code:

import scala.reflect.Code
def codeOf[A](code: Code[A]) = code
codeOf((x: Iterator[A]) => x.sum)

results in a StackOverflowError:

scala> codeOf((x: Iterable[Int]) => x.head)

Replacing the type with an existential does not reify it, but prevents the crash.

scala> codeOf((x: Iterable[_]) => null)
could not reify: Iterable[_]
res14: scala.reflect.Code[Iterable[_] => Null] = scala.reflect.Code@3c21251c

I can reproduce this in Scala 2.9.

In 2.10 trunk it does not happen anymore. Seems to have been fixed in the reflection overhaul.
