Stack overflow during shader compilation

Expected Behaviour

Here is an issue I just faced when replacing a loop with two direct calls:

error: failed to run custom build command for `ab-proof-of-space-gpu v0.1.0 (/web/github/abundance/crates/farmer/ab-proof-of-space-gpu)`

  note: rustc unexpectedly overflowed its stack! this is a bug
  note: maximum backtrace depth reached, frames may have been lost
  note: we would appreciate a report at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust
  help: you can increase rustc's stack size by setting RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216

Looks like recursion that went too deep somewhere.

RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 suggestion did help, so it is not an infinite loop or anything like that, just uses too much stack space due to recursion.

Example & Steps To Reproduce

Remove this line: https://github.com/nazar-pc/abundance/blob/1639a5172a9792d4989a4615de264f23106752be/crates/farmer/ab-proof-of-space-gpu/build.rs#L38

Then:

cd crates/farmer/ab-proof-of-space-gpu
cargo build

System Info

Rust-gpu from 6a9ea3bb96d34b2d5211a34d09fae81b0c938916 and cargo-gpu from https://github.com/Rust-GPU/cargo-gpu/commit/09829681cbe3866b6d1fc2ee0eae83aa77855b3e

参照されている行の crates/farmer/ab-proof-of-space-gpu/build.rs から始め、その行を削除した後に cd crates/farmer/ab-proof-of-space-gpu && cargo build を実行して再現します。backtrace に示されている rust-gpu のコード生成の再帰を調べ、RUST_MIN_STACK を設定した場合の挙動と比較します。直接呼び出し版が、より大きなスタックの workaround を必要とせずにコンパイルできれば完了です。
