`rustc` v1.64.0 hangs for a crate with a syntax error

[tdyas]

Issue: rustc v1.64.0 hangs on a crate with a syntax error without reporting the error.

I was making this change to a Rust project where one of the non-default workspace crates ended up with an error due to the signature of a function in another crate in the workspace changing. Normally, this crate compiles relatively quickly, but after making the change, rustc ran indefinitely instead of showing the error. Fixing the error (or not making the change in the first place) allows the crate to compile normally again.

Seems to build fine on nightly as of today.

Commits:

• Commit which triggers the hang
• Commit which fixes the syntax error and then crate compiles normally

Reproduces on both Linux and macOS/ARM with Rust v1.64.0. Nightly appears to build without a hang and then displays the expected syntax error.

How to reproduce:

1. Clone my fork of the https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/ repository.
2. Checkout the commit: git checkout 0f7dd58f884300740aa9f0e2fd96637b8fe2616e
3. Build the crate at issue:

cd src/rust/engine/process_executor
cargo build

4. The build should hang. Reproduces on both Linux and macOS/ARM with Rust v1.64.0.

Traces:

• Thread dumps #1 and #2

Based on the profile, this loop seems relevant and also suspicious, but I'm miles out of my depth:

rust/compiler/rustc_hir_typeck/src/fn_ctxt/arg_matrix.rs

Line 228 in 0940040

loop {

Since it's not hanging on nightly, this probably can't be fixed, since Rust 1.65 comes out in a just few days.

It's same issue with #100478, fixed by #100502
