Short description of error
Blender/macOS crashes to login screen when enabling smooth shading on an object with "Cast Shadow Caustics" enabled.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Create a scene with:
Set render engine to Cycles and device to GPU compute (crash does not occur with CPU compute).
Switch viewport mode to Rendered.
Select the cast shadow caustics object and enable smooth shading.
macOS will hang before crashing to a login screen.
system.log reports:
sessionlogoutd[4795]: DEAD_PROCESS: 3681 console
Console.app also lists a crash report for WindowServer (example crash report is attached).

Can't reproduce on
Operating system: macOS-13.0.1-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT OpenGL Engine ATI Technologies Inc. 4.1 ATI-4.9.48
Confirm. Same computer, same setup, same crash.
Hi, can someone check whether crash occurs in 3.5-beta build?: https://builder.blender.org/download/daily/
Any updates?
still nicely crashing

Unlike #107605, I can reproduce this in a local build and it has the following call stack:
Tested using Metal CPU+GPU

@Michael-Jones can you check this report?
I will disable shadow caustics on Metal + AMD now, since we are not expecting a fix soon. I expect this is similar to the light tree problem, where compilation ends up taking too long for reasons internal to the compiler, and we which was already disabled.
Guess this is because shadow caustics are not supported for AMD GPUs yet: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/cycles/gpu_rendering.html#metal-apple-macos
In that case, disabling caustics is the solution for now:

@brecht ^
Crash to login screen on macOS Ventura when enabling caustics and smooth shading.to Shadow caustics not available on macOS with AMD GPU@PratikPB2123 not sure what you are replying to exactly, we did disable shadow caustics on AMD. They should work on Apple silicon and it seems they do, but there was some kind of cache invalidation problem in the other issue?
Closing this as we are no longer planning to fix this. macOS AMD support is end of life and various features will remain missing.
