"""Find the maximum recursion limit that prevents interpreter termination.
|
|
|
|
This script finds the maximum safe recursion limit on a particular
|
|
platform. If you need to change the recursion limit on your system,
|
|
this script will tell you a safe upper bound. To use the new limit,
|
|
call sys.setrecursionlimit().
|
|
|
|
This module implements several ways to create infinite recursion in
|
|
Python. Different implementations end up pushing different numbers of
|
|
C stack frames, depending on how many calls through Python's abstract
|
|
C API occur.
|
|
|
|
After each round of tests, it prints a message:
|
|
"Limit of NNNN is fine".
|
|
|
|
The highest printed value of "NNNN" is therefore the highest potentially
|
|
safe limit for your system (which depends on the OS, architecture, but also
|
|
the compilation flags). Please note that it is practically impossible to
|
|
test all possible recursion paths in the interpreter, so the results of
|
|
this test should not be trusted blindly -- although they give a good hint
|
|
of which values are reasonable.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: When the C stack space allocated by your system is exceeded due
|
|
to excessive recursion, exact behaviour depends on the platform, although
|
|
the interpreter will always fail in a likely brutal way: either a
|
|
segmentation fault, a MemoryError, or just a silent abort.
|
|
|
|
NB: A program that does not use __methods__ can set a higher limit.
