Normally the Go Playground gives errors when a runtime panic or other error occurs, including "timeout running program" for programs that run too long. I'm wondering why the Playground doesn't show a stack overflow error (or any error) for this infinitely-recursing program?
https://go.dev/play/p/ILbGVj0dfWg It seems like a quirk (bug?) in the way this particular error is handled. This confused my colleague (who's new to Go) because he (correctly) expected it to show some kind of overflow/recursion error. For comparison, here's what the Go runtime says locally for this code: $ go run t.go runtime: goroutine stack exceeds 1000000000-byte limit runtime: sp=0xc020160398 stack=[0xc020160000, 0xc040160000] fatal error: stack overflow ... full stack trace elided ... Should I report a golang/go issue? -Ben -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
