(compile) Parenthesized assignment in two-way ngModel binding causes out of memory error

[mbinic]

Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?

compiler

Is this a regression?

No

Description

Having a parenthesized assignment to an array member inside a two-way ngModel binding will not report a compile-time error, but produce a "JavaScript heap out of memory" error during ng build and ng serve. Removing the parentheses will still not cause a compile-time error and will work as expected at runtime.

Having an assignment in a two-way binding is wrong. But, I have an enterprise app (big ball of mud), whose build started failing after prettier reformatted the codebase. There was no compiler error, nor warning, just the error below. I traced it to a few lines in a template file, where prettier added parentheses.

The app is on Angular 12.2.16, but the issue is reproducible with my example on 14.0.7 as well. When ran on StackBlitz, it would crash the browser tab with an 'out of memory' error.

Providing repro snippet in case StackBlitz link expires:

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: '<input type="checkbox" [(ngModel)]="(x[0] = y)" />',
})
export class AppComponent {
  x = [];
  y = 1;
}

The following code will compile and run fine:

<input type="checkbox" [(ngModel)]="x[0] = y" />
