Process finished with exit code -1073741571

Question

I have a recursion function which is finding Eulerian Path. I do not think that the definition of the function is relevant (but if someone thinks so, I will paste it as well

Answer 1

That is the signed integer representation of Microsoft's "stack overflow/stack exhaustion" error code 0xC00000FD.

You might try increasing your executable's stack size as described in the answer here: How to overcome Stack Size issue with Visual Studio (running C codes with big array)

Anytime you see strange, large negative exit codes in windows, convert them to hex and then look them up in the ntstatus error codes http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc704588.aspx

You may also use the MS Error Lookup Tool to find such codes locally, or even automatically. Other, similar tools exist both by Microsoft and third parties.

Answer 2

You could use something like:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.setrecursionlimit(100000)
    threading.stack_size(200000000)
    thread = threading.Thread(target=your_code)
    thread.start()

This solved both my recursion limitation and my heap size limitation.
