Hello, I am trying to compile a private package and got this error

```julia
StackOverflowError()
_ZNK4llvm5Value20stripInBoundsOffsetsENS_12function_refIFvPKS0_EEE at C:\Users\guilhermebodin\AppData\Local\Programs\Julia-1.6.4\bin\LLVM.dll (unknown line)

```

Does anybody have an idea where the issue might be to compile the package.

The precompilation\_execution\_file runs with no problem.

Is this the full log? It contains few information and it’s hard to draw any useful conclusion. Maybe it’s related to this issue [https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/43436](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/43436). Also see my comment there. I notice that you are using Julia 1.6.4. Can you try a newer Julia (Julia 1.7)? It seems that Julia 1.7 has a much longer and detailed stack trace than Julia 1.6.
