Description
Code
(The actual data in my use-case is indices in a 100³ gilbert curve but isn't relevant here.)
$ { echo '['; seq $(( 100 * 100 * 100 )) | sed 's/.*/(0,0,0),/'; echo ']'; } > 100.rs
$ tr '\n' ' ' < 100.rs > 100s.rs
const GRID_SIZE: usize = 100;
static GRID_GILBERT: [(u8,u8,u8); GRID_SIZE*GRID_SIZE*GRID_SIZE] = include!("100s.rs");
fn main() {}
this is the good state
$ time rustc bugowcy.rs

error: aborting due to 1 previous error
For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0308`.
Yes that is 27 megabytes of diagnostic output, basically repeating the input thrice (twice verbatim, once with ^^^^s).
Desired output
Either a bounded line output or just a bailout. Honestly just a bailout. It'd be nice if it took like 30s instead of 2:20 💀
Rationale and extra context
I think in this case (and in general) having rustc churn for two full minutes is. Not good. And value to the user is bigger when you get the error without source-level diagnostics.
