Catching “Stack Overflow” exceptions in recursive C++ functions

Question

Is it possible to catch a stack overflow exception in a recursive C++ function? If so, how?

so what will happen in this case

void doWork         


        

Answer 1

Of course, you could avoid the recursion problem by converting it to a loop.

Not sure if you're aware of this but any recursive solution can be translated to a loop-based solution, and vice-versa. It is usually desirable to use a loop based solution because it is easier to read and understand.

Regardless of use of recursion or loop, you need to make sure the exit-condition is well defined and will always be hit.
