New issue 1631 by max99x: Stack size limit too low
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1631
When trying to run CPython compiled to Javascript using Emscripten, v8 hits
a stack size limit in 100 calls, unlike other browsers.
I believe the cause of this is that there are currently a lot of redundant
locals in the code due to the 1-to-1 nature of Emscripten compilation. This
should be fixed once Closure Compiler issue 492
(http://code.google.com/p/closure-compiler/issues/detail?id=492) is fixed.
Nonetheless, other engines don't seem to have a problem with this.
To reproduce:
1. Go to http://max99x.github.com/empythoned/ on Chrome 13+.
2. Enter "import re; print re.compile(r'x(y(z))*')" and hit Execute.
3. See no output and a stack limit error in the console.
4. Repeat the same on Firefox 6+ and get proper results (initialization is
2x as fast too).
Other engines:
* v8/Chromium 13: FAIL
* v8 trunk: FAIL
* SpiderMonkey/Firefox 6: SUCCESS
* SpiderMonkey trunk: SUCCESS
* Carakan/Opera 11.5: SUCCESS (but very slow)
