🕗 Version & Regression Information

• This is a crash
• This is the behavior in every version I tried: TypeScript 6.0.3 (JS) and 7.1.0-dev (main, Go)
• I have reviewed the FAQ for entries about optional chaining and tagged templates. Those entries do not cover this compiler crash.

⏯ Playground Link

Not useful here. The crash needs ES2020 optional-chain emit. Use the CLI command below.

🙂 Expected behavior

The compiler should not crash 😄

Additional information about the issue

Disclosure: This crash was found with a custom mutation fuzzer and AI assistance (Kimi K3). The input was minimized and then verified by hand against TypeScript 7.1.0-dev (main) and TypeScript 6.0.3.

Inizia da tsc/internal/transformers/estransforms/optionalchain.go, in particolare da flattenChain e visitOptionalExpression, quindi esamina la gestione di Node.Expression in tsc/internal/ast/ast.go. Esegui l’esempio ridotto e?.``( tramite la CLI con l’emissione optional-chain ES2020. Il lavoro è concluso quando il compilatore non va più in panic con questo input.
