LLVM Error building on OSX

[d.healey]

I'm getting an error I've never come across before on MacOS. It occurs during the linking and I see that all my system memory is being eaten up by the linking process which is what I assume is leading to this error.

I've tried limiting the number of linking threads to 1 but it still eats up the RAM and the build fails. Any ideas?

LLVM ERROR: SmallVector unable to grow. Requested capacity (4294967296) is larger than the maximum value for size type (429496795)

I ran a build from the command line and got a little more info.

It's very strange because I was building last week without any issue. I've tried reinstalling Xcode, I also tried rolling back to an older version of Xcode, I've tried re-downloading the HISE source code too, but no luck.

Debug build works just fine.

Woohoo, solved it!

There appears to be a bug in Xcode 13.3.x, a few people have reported it in various places on the interwebs. I just downgraded to 13.2.1 and the build succeeded.

I also noticed that I had auto-update enabled which I assume explains how I ended up with Xcode 13.3

@d-healey was just gonna say I had a ton of issues with 13.3. Downgraded until I have time to sort them out.

@dustbro @d-healey Quick update, I stumbled upon this bug while archiving my app too. Just tried with Xcode 14 beta 2 and it works. It took a LONG time to link though, but at least it doesn't SIGTRAP!
Cheers.
