It's expected to run into RLIMIT_STACK or equivalent, with an expectation that stack limits are generally below 500MB. (A million executions of a few instructions should be pretty fast in general.) > b) I could change n to be 32 bit on 16 bit targets (the test will then be > equally uncertain on 16 bit targets at detecting fault.) This seems to be the natural approach. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
