Work-around for C# CodeDom causing stack-overflow (CS1647) in csc.exe?

Question

I\'ve got a situation where I need to generate a class with a large string const. Code outside of my control causes my generated CodeDom tree to be emitted to C# source and

I have no idea how to change the behavior of the code generator, but you can change the stack size that the compiler uses with the /stack option of EditBin.EXE.

Example:

editbin /stack:100000,1000 csc.exe 

Following is an example of its use:

class App 
{
    private static long _Depth = 0;

    // recursive function to blow stack
    private static void GoDeep() 
    {
        if ((++_Depth % 10000) == 0) System.Console.WriteLine("Depth is " +
            _Depth.ToString());
        GoDeep();
    return;
    }

    public static void Main() {
        try 
        {
            GoDeep();
        } 
        finally 
        {
        }

        return;
    }
}




editbin /stack:100000,1000 q.exe
Depth is 10000
Depth is 20000

Unhandled Exception: StackOverflowException.

editbin /stack:1000000,1000 q.exe
