Description
I tried this code:
#![feature(fn_delegation)]
trait Trait<T> {
fn foo<U>(&self, _: dyn Trait) {}
}
reuse Trait::<_>::foo::<i32> as x;
fn main() {}
I expected to see this happen:
no oom
Instead, this happened:
oom

Research direction
Start by compiling the supplied fn_delegation reproducer with the reported nightly compiler and confirm the out-of-memory behavior. Use the included query-job backtrace as the initial investigation lead; done means the reproducer no longer exhausts memory without regressing delegation behavior.
