💻 Code

type Dec<N extends number> = 
    N extends 5 ? 4 : N extends 4 ? 3 : N extends 3 ? 2 : 
    N extends 2 ? any : 
    N extends 1 ? 0 : 0;

type Recur<N extends number, S extends string> = 
    N extends 0 ? S : Recur<Dec<N>, `${S}_${S}`>;

type Explode = {
    [P in Recur<5, "a"> as `${P}_key`]: any;
};

🙂 Expected behavior

The compiler should not crash.

Additional information about the issue

No response

Reproduziere den Absturz mit dem bereitgestellten rekursiven Template-Literal-Beispiel oder dem Befehl specializedSignatureIsNotSubtypeOfNonSpecializedSignature_filled_1_unvalidated_mutated_batch12.ts. Beginne bei addSpans und getTemplateLiteralType in built/local/tsc.js und verfolge den Stack über instantiateTypeWorker. Erledigt ist die Aufgabe, wenn der Compiler die Eingabe meldet oder verarbeitet, ohne RangeError: Invalid string length auszulösen.
