Surface Shader with shader_features doesn´t compile
To reproduce:
1. Open attached project;
2. Reimport shader "SurfaceBug".
Expected result: Editor compiles the Surface Shader, it is possible to reimport it.
Actual result: Shader doesn't compile, Editor is not responding when trying to reimport the Shader. If you end task (Unity Shader Compiler) in the Task Manager, Console throws errors:
-Shader compiler: internal error preprocessing shader: Protocol error - failed to read correct magic number;
-Shader error in 'SurfaceBug': Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting TOK_SHADER at line 1.
Reproduced on versions: 5.4.4p1, 5.5.1p2, 5.6.0b7.

I hit this after updating some Microsoft stuff, nothing to do with Unity. The save as UTF-8 saved the day!

VEGABEYOND, thanks I had a similar issue and encountered the 2nd error. Saving as UTF-8 fixed it.

Well I tried to 'save as' the shader to UTF-8 instead of UTF-16 and it works... Just post here if helps anyone

My new game-machine also took it's time parsing this. In the end it finished and produced this same error on 5.6.0f3

Was having a very very similar issue, ended up just leaving unity compiling the shader, and tabbing out for about 10 minutes, it eventually compiled it fine!
Might be worth giving that a go?
