My colleague Eddie Aftandilian discovered the following crash, in which a syntax error causes the compiler to assert that it has fallen into an infinite loop.

It does not repro in 8, but it does repro in all javac versions > 8, including 15-ea. It only repros with annotation processing enabled, but it doesn't matter what the annotation processor actually does.

=== EmptyProcessor.java
import java.util.Set;
import javax.annotation.processing.AbstractProcessor;
import javax.annotation.processing.RoundEnvironment;
import javax.lang.model.element.TypeElement;

public class EmptyProcessor extends AbstractProcessor {
  @Override
  public boolean process(Set<? extends TypeElement> annotations, RoundEnvironment roundEnv) {
    return false;
  }
}
=== Repro.java
public class Repro {
  private static final ImmutableSetMultimap<String, Class<?>>
      MY_MAP =
          ImmutableSetMultimap.<String, Class<?>>builder()
              .putAll(
                  "foo") // syntax error
