#8189: Default to infinite stack size? -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime | Version: 7.6.3 System | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: Runtime | Related Tickets: crash | Test Case: | Blocking: | -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): I believe I'm pretty much done. The only thing I lack is the ability to report the correct stack size after allocation has failed. I believe the stack overflow message is produced by a hook in [[GhcFile(rts/hooks/StackOverflow.c)]] which is called by `stackOverflow` in [[GhcFile(rts/RtsUtils.c)]]. I'm having great difficulty tracing flow of control back further than this however. How does execution get from the `stackOverflow_closure` being thrown to `stackOverflow`? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8189#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
