solana: Compilation error on solana_program vote state

Problem

The dependencies of the program I’m building right now got updated today automatically during compilation, and I’m now getting the following error. Note: I’m not deserializing a VoteState in my program.

Here are my dependencies:

[dependencies]
borsh = "0.9.3"
solana-program = "1.14.12"
spl-token = { version="~3.5.0", features = [ "no-entrypoint" ] }
spl-associated-token-account = { version="~1.1.2", features = [ "no-entrypoint" ] }
thiserror = "~1.0.38"

I first suspected the new version of solana-zk-token-sdk (1.15.0) to be the cause of the error. But I pinned the former version (1.14.12) and still got the error, this time popping just before Compiling spl-token v3.5.0.

Given that both programs haven’t been updated for some time, while solana-program has been recently, I’m sharing this error here as it’s the source repo of solana-program.

Also, in Cargo.lock, I notice that solana-program has been moved to 1.15.0 (despite being pinned to 1.14.12). I don’t get why (but it might be me misunderstanding something about cargo dependency mgt).

Most importantly though, the program is still working fine.

Any thoughts?

Note: someone shared the same error recently on Solana Stackexchange: https://solana.stackexchange.com/questions/5651/stack-offset-error-for-anchor-build

Proposed Solution

Fix this error.
