Compiler "does not detect" a type recursion error in the wrong code, remaining frozen

[rockcavera]

The sample code below made me waste about 30 minutes looking for the reason I wasn't compiling, because the compiler was frozen, maybe an infinite loop. I had to give ctrl + c to break the compiler execution.

I had added about 40 lines to a code of 700 and a few lines. I ended up forgetting to make the reference to the Obj type and wasted 30 minutes until I realized it.

Example

type
  TesteNewObj = object
    test: uint64
  
  TesteNew = ref TesteNew # Error here. The correct thing would be 'TesteNewObj'

Current Output

nim c teste
Hint: used config file 'D:\Nim\config\nim.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: used config file 'D:\Nim\config\config.nims' [Conf]
Hint: system [Processing]
Hint: widestrs [Processing]
Hint: io [Processing]
Hint: teste [Processing]
SIGINT: Interrupted by Ctrl-C.

Expected Output

nim c teste
Hint: used config file 'd:\nim-stable\config\nim.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: system [Processing]
Hint: widestrs [Processing]
Hint: io [Processing]
Hint: teste [Processing]
teste.nim(5, 3) Error: illegal recursion in type 'TesteNew'

Additional Information

• It was working in version 1.0.6, maybe it's a regression
