1 Infinite Loop is the worst of all... ;)
((Can't resist a mac jibe. Thanks for the post, glad to see EQ2 has some better IL detection now)).
Hey thanks for the reference :D
"mmmkay?"
Thankyou for the fascinating read Greg, I'm looking forward to the next installment of WYWSITUN! :)
(*Btw, are you going to attend the fan faire this year? I need to add you to my collection of celebrities-I-meet mug-shots :))
Yea, endless recursion is easy to spot due to stack overflow errors, while endless iteration is a bugger indeed.
I could imagine that checking for the time spent in an iteration and logging the stack trace if the time goes beyond a pre-set default value would give some handsome info as well...
As an afterthought, the Infinite Loop ring that drops in VoES always makes me chuckle :D
