Description
A recent windows-latest GitHub runner update has updated Rust from v1.92 to v1.93.
-
In v1.92: Our code builds and runs correctly
-
In v1.93: Our code builds, but spits out the following error at runtime:
thread 'main' (6220) has overflowed its stack error: process didn't exit successfully: target\debug\topiary.exe prefetch (exit code: 0xc00000fd, STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW)
The error isn't descriptive enough to narrow down where the error is occurring (and I don't have a Windows machine to test with). The offending codebase is per https://github.com/topiary/topiary/pull/1172

Research direction
Start with the related actions/runner-images issue and the codebase from topiary/topiary#1172. Reproduce the prefetch command with Rust 1.92 and 1.93 on a Windows runner, then compare the behavior and available diagnostics. Done means identifying the regression or reducing it to an actionable compiler or runner issue.
