Fork bomb with rust-analyzer clippy

[RoloEdits]

Summary

I had noticed this once before but though it was something with my own setup, but saw this reddit post and thought I would make an issue of it, incase its something more.

After opening up the zed repo and trying to check the source code, for example the breadcrumbs.rs, and doing a hover action, it eventually begins to lag as clippy processes are started over and over.

Is this a rust-analyzer issue?

[RoloEdits]

I was thinking that as well, but wanted to try to get one place that isnt reddit to discuss, as one person said they were in a vue project and this happened. But seems no one came here to share details in the meantime. I'll open up an issue with RA.

After open zed master in helix( 25.01 (e698b20)), cpu 100%:

It looks like another issue.

The OP of the reddit post wasnt using rust-analyzer. So it could speak to broader issues.

Did you open up any rust codebase prior to that?

I am a C++ developer :p

Are you using autosave? I would guess it's multiple save requeat running in parallel/not keeping up. In general we dont control when rsut-analayzer runs clippy (it runs on save by default) so I can only imagine us triggering more save notifications

Im not explicitly using it in my config. As far as timeouts are concerned I have this.

idle-timeout = 50
completion-timeout = 5

[pascalkuthe]

We don't use the idle timeout as much anymore but does it also happen without those low timeouts?

[RoloEdits]

Commenting it out (so default) it still happens.
