Project: GNU Smalltalk
Version: <none>
Component: VM
Category: feature requests
Priority: normal
Assigned to: Unassigned
Reported by: sdp
Updated by: sdp

An infinite loop will crash the VM.
Simple Example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gst
GNU Smalltalk ready
st> Object subclass: Foo [ Foo class >> new [ ^ self new ] ]
st> Foo new

"Global garbage collection... done, heap grown"
"Global garbage collection... done, heap grown"
"Global garbage collection... done, heap grown"
"Global garbage collection... done, heap grown"
"Global garbage collection... done, heap grown"
"Global garbage collection... done, heap grown"
"Global garbage collection... done, heap grown"
"Global garbage collection... done, heap grown"
"Global garbage collection... Segmentation fault (core dumped)
It would be convenient if gst could perform a maximum recursion check
(similar to python) on invoking a CompiledMethod, and signal an
Exception if the
(configurable) maximum recursion depth is reached or exceeded.
