>             Project: Commons JEXL
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 3.1
>            Reporter: Henri Biestro

> WHAT:
> Since JEXL allows recursion, it would be convenient to stop execution early 
> when running towards a stack overflow. In general, scripts don't have much 
> use for recursion so this would be a good (soft) safeguard.
> Incidentally, when a function called by a script ends up in a stack overflow, 
> it would be nice to catch it and properly propagate it through a 
> JexlException.
> HOW:
> Introduce a new JexlException subclass (StackOverflow) that can be thrown 
> after catching a (JVM) StackOverflow in Interpreter.interpret().
> The StackOverflow soft limit -ie one that pertains to JEXL only - requires a 
> new JexlBuilder option (stackOverflow(size)) and a way to count the stack 
> 'height'; easiest/safest seems to put interpreter instance in TLS and 
> increment/check a 'frame pointer' member.
