Title: Lispworks variable to handle stack size
ID: 10018
| Product: LispWorks Version: All OS: All Unix platforms | |
| Description: The variable is SYSTEM:*STACK-OVERFLOW-BEHAVIOUR*. Setting it to :WARN will cause the stack to be extended by 50% when it overflows. It should be used with care since the stack will grow indefinitely with repeated overflows. An alternative is to make a handler for CONDITIONS:STACK-OVERFLOW that invokes the continue restart, only when the current size is less than a given threshold, e.g. (handler-bind ((conditions:stack-overflow #'(lambda (c) (and (< (lw::current-stack-length) 50000) (continue))))) (foo)) | |
