Non-trivial infinite recursion can't be detected early, and it's the non-trivial cases that people miss in basic testing. Potential infinite recursion can also be trivially detected, however more or less any recursive algorithm is potentially "infinitely recursing" so i suspect such a warning would be seen as unhelpful noise. --Oliver > -- > Garrett > _______________________________________________ > es-discuss mailing list > es-discuss@mozilla.org > https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
