Code

# Init project folder
tsc --init
echo 'export = 123' > index.ts

# Create a folder that contain recursive link
mkdir -p a/b/c

# Create recursive symlinks
(
  cd a && ln -s . self
  cd b && ln -s .. parent
  cd c && ln -s ../.. grandparent
)

# Now, try to compile
tsc

Expected behavior:

TSC ignores recursive symlinks and create index.js

Actual behavior:

TSC is unresponsive.

Workaround:

Add recursive symlink names to "exclude".
