Since match type reduction is expensive, it is cached. If a type is reduced (or not reduced) in
tryNormalize
we remember that decision and return the previous result - unless something in the context changed since the last attempt which could lead to a different outcome. Relevant here are:We keep track of these things in a so-called footprint calculation.
The old calculation clearly did not work. It either never worked or was broken by the changes to matchtype reduction.
I now changed it to a more straightforward scheme that computes the footprint directly instead of relying on TypeComparer to produce the right trace.
