Find limit of recursion: Difference between revisions

 

here we see that the function call stack size is 262067.

Both of these examples will throw an exception when the recursion depth is exceeded, however, the exception cannot be trapped in the script.

The recursion limit is primarily determined by the stack size. The stack size can be changed when compiling a program by specifying the new size using '/stack:NewSize' in the linker file.

 

 

In addition to the stack size the recursion limit for procedures is further limited by the procedure's parameters and local variables which are also stored on the same stack.

The Bash reference manual says <cite>No limit is placed on the number of recursive calls</cite>, nonetheless a segmentation fault occurs at 13777 (Bash v3.2.19 on 32bit GNU/Linux)

Haven't figured out how to see the depth. And this depth is that of calling the O/S rather than calling within.
