Nested tuple construction hangs forever in 1.10 and earlier #56052

Open

Description

Take the following test file nestedtuples.jl:

function please_return()
  tup = ()
  for _ in 1:2
    tup = (tup, ())
  end
  return tup
end

@show please_return()

The function please_return does not terminate (julia hangs forever) for version 1.10.5. It does terminate and returns the expected result in version 1.11.0 though.

Output:
