Summary: Avoid throwing StackOverflowError when creating RegExp Key: LUCENE-10474 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10474 Project: Lucene - Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: core/other Reporter: Yannick Welsch Creating a regular expression using Lucene's RegExp class can easily result in a StackOverflowError being thrown, for example when the input is larger than the maximum stack depth. Throwing a StackOverflowError isn't something a user would expect, and it isn't documented either. StackOverflowError is a user-unfriendly exception as it does not convey any intent that the user has done something wrong, but suggests a bug in the implementation. I would like Lucene to follow the [approach taken by the JDK|https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/cab4ff64541393a974ea91e35167668ef0036804/src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/regex/Pattern.java#L1441] and throw an IllegalArgumentException instead to clearly mark this as an input that the implementation can't handle. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@lucene.apache.org
