Subject: System Stack Overflow
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Errors-To: icon-group-errors@optima.CS.Arizona.EDU
Status: RO
"The Icon Programming Language" book at page 168 sez:
"Unfortunately, system stack overflow may not be detected. If this happens,
adjacent memory may be overwritten, resulting in program or system
malfunction."
So - how serious is this?
Does it mean the system will crash, and therefore you will KNOW there is a
problem?
Or is it possible the program will continue to run but with bad data/results?
Just started studying ICON, so don't have any real experience to report.
