------------------------------------------


> Infinite recursion of the RenderTool.recurse(Context, String) method

>             Project: Velocity Tools
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: GenericTools
>    Affects Versions: 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.x, 2.x
>            Reporter: Andrea Bernardo Ciddio
>            Priority: Critical
>             Fix For: 1.4, 1.x, 2.x

> The recurse method never returns when the vtl template contains a loop 
> (should have been fixed in rev 321227):
> RenderTool tool = new RenderTool();
> VelocityContext ctx = new VelocityContext();
> String vtl = "#set($foo = 'I am [$foo]') $foo";
> System.out.println(tool.recurse(ctx, vtl));
> [StackOverflow]
> the issue is caused by a misplaced '++' operator in the internalRecurse 
> method:
>    protected String internalRecurse(Context ctx, String vtl, int count) 
> throws Exception
>     {
>         String result = eval(ctx, vtl);
>         if (result == null || result.equals(vtl))
>         {
>             return result;
>         }
>         else
>         {
>             // if we haven't reached our parse depth...
>             if (count < parseDepth)
>             {
>                 // continue recursing
>                 return internalRecurse(ctx, result, count++);   // <====  
> BUG: should be '++count'
>             }
>             else
>             {
>                 // abort and return what we have so far
>                 //FIXME: notify the developer or user somehow??
>                 return result;
>             }
>         }
>     }
> The counter is updated after the recursive call returns, which never happens
