NIL is a static variable. It is initialized one time, when the class is initialized. When it is initialized, a single Node instance is created. The creation of that Node doesn’t trigger creation of any other Node instances, so there is not infinite chain of calls. Passing Node.NIL to the constructor call has the same … Read more
I had a very similar issue. I was using Lombok’s @Data annotation on my model objects to auto-generate getters, setters, and other standard methods. I believe the toString() method generated by Lombok introduced a circular dependency between my Team and League objects. When I tried to get the Set<teams> teams from my League object, I … Read more
I think it may be ASLR at work. You can turn off DEP to test this theory. See here for a C# utility class to check memory information: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8716410/552139 By the way, with this tool, I found that the difference between the maximum and minimum stack size is around 2 KiB, which is half a … Read more
Stack overflow refers specifically to the case when the execution stack grows beyond the memory that is reserved for it. For example, if you call a function which recursively calls itself without termination, you will cause a stack overflow as each function call creates a new stack frame and the stack will eventually consume more … Read more
The issue is that Python has an internal limit on number of recursive function calls. That limit is configurable as shown in Quentin Coumes’ answer. However, too deep a function chain will result in a stack overflow. This underlying limitation¹ applies to both C++ and Python. This limitation also applies to all function calls, not … Read more
You should wrap your recursive function call into a setTimeout, setImmediate or process.nextTick function to give node.js the chance to clear the stack. If you don’t do that and there are many loops without any real async function call or if you do not wait for the callback, your RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded … Read more
When the stack overflows and StackOverflowError is thrown, the usual exception handling unwinds the stack. Unwinding the stack means: abort the execution of the currently active function delete its stack frame, proceed with the calling function abort the execution of the caller delete its stack frame, proceed with the calling function and so on… … … Read more
That problem is that you have a circular reference. In the BomModule class you are referencing to: private Collection<BomModule> parentModules; private Collection<BomModule> subModules; That self reference to BomModule, obviously, not liked by GSON at all. A workaround is just set the modules to null to avoid the recursive looping. This way I can avoid the … Read more
Check for any recusive calls for methods. Mainly it is caused when there is recursive call for a method. A simple example is public static void main(String… args) { Main main = new Main(); main.testMethod(1); } public void testMethod(int i) { testMethod(i); System.out.println(i); } Here the System.out.println(i); will be repeatedly pushed to stack when the … Read more
I think the others have done a good job at explaining why cnt > 0, but there’s not enough details regarding why cnt = 4, and why cnt varies so widely among different settings. I will attempt to fill that void here. Let X be the total stack size M be the stack space used … Read more
