#527: Segmentation fault when stack overflows -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: haruki.zaemon@… | Owner: lsansonetti@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: MacRuby | Keywords: stack overflow segfault -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by martinlagardette@…):
"Catching the signal wouldnt help here as I'm pretty sure it's already too late to do anything"
That's actually what `sigaltstack` is for, it allocates a stack just for handling the signal. But yeah, raising from there is likely to fail. And I also agree that it's not a critical issue at all, I just wanted to update the status of the bug so that people know why it's not fixed yet :-) -- Ticket URL: <http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/527#comment:9> MacRuby <http://macruby.org/>
