My public generic class gets an unexpected error during build step in SHFB stating "Process is terminated due to StackOverflowException". I have attached the sample Visual Studio project in the attachment section below. Given the following code, whether MyClass is abstract or partial creates the error.
 
namespace MyClassLibrary
{

/// <summary>
/// MyClass Summary
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="TD"></typeparam>
/// <typeparam name="TT"></typeparam>
public abstract partial class MyClass<TD, TT>
{
    /// <summary>
    /// IBase Summary
    /// </summary>
    public interface IBase
    {
        NestedClass<T> RequestElementsTyped<T>();
    }

 

    /// <summary>
    /// NestedClass Summary
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
    public class NestedClass<T> : IEquatable<NestedClass<T>>
    {
        public bool Equals(NestedClass<T> other)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }

 

    /// <summary>
    /// IAnother Summary
    /// </summary>
    public interface IAnother : IBase { }
}

}
 
Given build output:
