stack overflow

[swesoc]

Hello Friends,

Assume, If i write a recerive function that goes in an infinite loop &
exceeds the limit of stack

I know it gives 'stack overflow' but other then what happens internally

the hardrive starts shouting too loud, the processor might get out of
control and shoot all requests.
someone might get hurt...

Presumably you mean an infinite recursion.

How many tails has a dog? That depends on the dog. Post code.

Some compilers might create code that throws an exception, which can be
caught. Other compilers just create code that crashes the whole application.
It is a very tricky error to handle, because there is no more stack space
for the error handling code.

Don't forget:

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.
Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes...
The dead rising from the grave.
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria!

You forgot :

Demons coming out of your nose (if stack overflow counts as Undefined
Behaviour).

does anybody know how to do error handling in such case

thanks in advance
