Simplest ways to cause stack overflow in C#, C++ and Java [closed]

Answer 1

public string Name
{
   get{ return Name; }
}

This property calling itself using with return Name;. That causes infinite recursion. That's why when you use this property, you get StackOverflowException. I believe the right usage of this property should be:

public string Name
{
   get{ return _name; }
}

StackOverflowException is thrown for execution stack overflow errors, typically in case of a very deep or unbounded recursion.

Starting with the .NET Framework version 2.0, a StackOverflowException object cannot be caught by a try-catch block and the corresponding process is terminated by default. Consequently, users are advised to write their code to detect and prevent a stack overflow. For example, if your application depends on recursion, use a counter or a state condition to terminate the recursive loop.
