The following pathological case triggers a confusing stack overflow error. *$ lein repl* *...* *user=> (def x (atom nil))* *#'user/x* *user=> (reset! x x)* * * *StackOverflowError java.util.regex.Pattern$Curly.match (Pattern.java:4125)* * * *;;; Of course, I can avoid the problem:* *user=> (set! *print-level* 3)* *3* *user=> (reset! x x)* *#<Atom@4d98da: #<Atom@4d98da: #<Atom@4d98da: #>>>*
Would it be reasonable for the repl to wrap a safe *print-level* and *print-length* around the printing? 100, or even 500, would probably never stack-overflow, and would be more reasonable behavior for most users. Even if this is not reasonable in general, perhaps it would still make sense around the printing of any "#< ...>" entity, where the internal text is always just for human consumption. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
