Stack size under Mono

Question

I have written a tiny recursive bit of F# code to see how many levels of recursion I can fit onto the stack under .NET/Mono. It just prints the recursion depth whenever it i

Answer 1

This code gets around the mono limit. It is useful for dfs in competitive programming.

        public static void IncreaseStack(ThreadStart action, int stackSize = 16000000)
        {
            var thread = new Thread(action, stackSize);
#if __MonoCS__
        const BindingFlags bf = BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance;
        var it = typeof(Thread).GetField("internal_thread", bf).GetValue(thread);
        it.GetType().GetField("stack_size", bf).SetValue(it, stackSize);
#endif
            thread.Start();
            thread.Join();
        }
