c# - Build error: "An expression is too long or complex to compile"

Every now and then when I build a specific solution, I'll get a random amount of "An expression is too long or complex to compile" in the Error List window. However, the only item the error points to is the specific project, not a file within the project or a specific LOC.

When I encounter this, I 'Clean' and then I restart VS and that seems to fix it. Any ideas on what is causing this?

This particular solution has 50 projects in it.

FYI, that error is characteristic of the compiler running out of stack space. Typically that happens when you throw a "deep recursion" problem at the compiler, like say,

int x = (1 + (1 + (1 + (1 + ......... + 1 ) + 1 ) + 1 ) + 1);

say, several thousand deep. The syntactic and semantic analyzers are both recursive-descent analyzers and therefore prone to running out of stack space in extreme scenarios.

I have no idea why shutting down and starting over would affect that, though. That is really strange.

If you get a solid repro, I'd love to see it. Either post it here, or enter a bug on Connect and we'll have a look at it. Without a solid repro though it is very hard to say what is going on here.
