[release/6.0] Disable poisoning for large structs - #61601
Merged
Conversation
For very large structs (> 64K in size) poisoning could end up generating instructions requiring larger local var offsets than we can handle. This hits IMPL_LIMIT that throws InvalidProgramException. Turn off poisoning for larger structs that require more than 16 movs to also avoid the significant code bloat by the singular movs. This is a less risky version of #61521 for backporting to .NET 6. Fix#60852

Backport of #61589 to release/6.0

Customer Impact
Code that uses large (> 64 KB) stack allocated structs without the .zeroinit bit may hit InvalidProgramException in debug mode in .NET 6. This is particularly the case for large stack allocated arrays in C++/CLI when the program is compiled without optimizations. Reported by a customer in #60852.
Regression
Yes, this is a .NET 6 regression introduced with the poisoning feature in #54685. The poisoning is a debug aid that puts a recognizable value into uninitialized variables so that developers will more easily notice uninitialized uses of these.
Testing
There is a regression test included.
Risk
Low, this disables the poisoning feature in cases that would hit the problem.
