# 🐞 bug report

### Affected Package
Looks like `@angular/core`


### Is this a regression?
Yes, the versions before 9 work correct (https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-3sutb9 - works, because stackblitz is not provided Ivy-rendering)


### Description
`@injectable` conflicts with other decorators in this example:
```
@Injectable()
export class TestServiceA {}

@Injectable()
@testDecorator()
export class TestServiceB extends TestServiceA {}

@Injectable()
export class TestService extends TestServiceB {}

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  providers: [TestService]
})
export class AppComponent  {
  constructor(private testService: TestService) {}
}
```


## 🔬 Minimal Reproduction
You can just clone the repo and run locally (stackblitz doesn't work with last versions of Angular)
https://github.com/tamtakoe/angular-max-call-stack-size

## 🔥 Exception or Error
<pre><code>core.js:3866 ERROR RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
    at TestServiceB_Factory (app.component.ts:30) ...

or  ERROR InternalError: "too much recursion" ... in Firefox etc.
</code></pre>

Discussion:
I have a similar error after upgrading to 9.0.4/0.900.4:

```

Unfortunately, I was not yet able to reproduce this issue.
This appears to happen only once after upgrading an existing Angular <9.0.4/3 (not sure which one) project to 9.0.3/4. I can run `ng build` again and then it works flawlessly. Even with `npm ci` I cannot reproduce the error. :/
This seems to be a legit report of the behaviour change in ivy with custom decorators (there were multiple similar bugs reported previously), here is a live repro: https://ng-run.com/edit/IneGzHSECoI3LtdEXPWh
There's several issues here.

First, this line introduces the infinite loop:

```ts
newConstructor.prototype = Object.create(target.prototype);
```

This effectively sets up `target` to act as a superclass of `newConstructor`, as far as I understand it. Then, when the runtime looks up the factory for `TestServiceB` it delegates to the parent (as there's no own constructor) here:

https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/d2c60cc216982ee018e7033f7f62f2b423f2d289/packages/core/src/render3/di.ts#L660

Here, `type.prototype === newConstructor.prototype`, so using `Object.getPrototypeOf` we arrive at `target.prototype` which is `TestServiceB`. Therefore, the superclass' factory that is obtained for `TestServiceB` *is* `TestServiceB` again, causing the infinite loop.

**Disclaimer**: I am always confused by prototype stuff in JS, so there could be nonsense in the above.

---

Secondly, the compiled definitions that are present as static property on the class are not copied over to `newConstructor`. This is a problem for DI to work correctly, as factory functions etc will not be available. You don't currently see the effect of this as none of the constructors have parameters that need to be injected.
