How much space does each level of calling need? I know that is hard to
answer
but are we talking a few bytes, few kb, many kb?
Relatedly, could someone spell out in more detail the
worst-case behavior of StackOverflowError? Knowing this
might be helpful in some cases in which we might be able to
at least preserve minimal sanity without needing to reserve.
Not sure what you are asking for Doug - worst-case is that an action
that is critical to complete does not complete. Best example is
lock/unlock which have to both update AQS-state and update owner. If
only one is done the lock internal state is inconsistent and the lock
ceases to function.
