STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment:
Here is a short shell script to reproduce the stack overflow:
- create 100 Python modules: stack1 imports stack2, stack2 imports stack3,
...., and stack100 prints "hello"
- each module calls os.system("cat /proc/%s/maps|grep stack" % os.getpid()) to
display the stack map
- set the max stack size to 128 KB
The stack starts with 86016 bytes and it crashs at import depth 6.
I don't know if my script is realistic (128 KB stack), but at least it shows a
crash.
I think that most programs crash with small stack.
