Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jacob Engelbrecht (jengeldk) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: recursion core dumps Initial Comment: when running recursive function you get a coredump with deep recursion. eg from sys import * n = 30000 setrecursionlimit(n+1) def fact(n): if n==1: return 1 return fact(n-1)*n fact(n) This is seen on linux i686 with both python2.3 and python2.4, the recursion depth which triggers the core dump is 26211 with python2.4 and 29123 with python2.3 with a machine having 2076860 kB of memory, on machines with less memory smaller numbers are seen. this is what gdb tells me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/scratch/jacob$ gdb /usr/bin/python2.4 core GNU gdb 6.3-debian Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
