*stack-overflow-behaviour*

Variable
Summary

Controls behavior when stack overflow occurs.

Package

system

Initial Value

:error

Description

The variable *stack-overflow-behaviour* controls behavior when stack overflow occurs.

When *stack-overflow-behaviour* is set to :error , LispWorks signals an error.

When it is set to :warn , LispWorks increases the stack size automatically to accommodate the overflow, but prints a warning message to signal that this has happened.

When it is set to nil , LispWorks increases stack size silently.

Compatibility Note

In LispWorks 4.4 and previous on Windows and Linux platforms, automatic stack extension is not implemented. This has been fixed in LispWorks 5.0 and later.
