callstack

This is different to other questions regarding an error message in Node that reads RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded in that I know exactly why I'm getting this error message. It's happening because I'm recursing, recursing quite a lot in fact. Thanks. From node --help : node --max-stack-size=val Update: as the comments indicate, even though the help text still lists the --max-stack-size option, in node v0.10.x you need to use --stack-size instead. node --stack-size=val In node version 5 and 6, I have verified that the option to set maximum stack size is "--stack_size" (with an

I read in text books that the stack grows by decreasing memory address; that is, from higher address to lower address. It may be a bad question, but I didn't get the concept right. Can you explain? First, it's platform dependent. In some architectures, stack is allocated from the bottom of the address space and grows upwards. Assuming an architecture like x86 that stack grown downwards from the top of address space, the idea is pretty simple: =============== Highest Address (e.g. 0xFFFF) | | | STACK | | | |-------------| <- Stack Pointer (e.g. 0xEEEE) | | . ... . | | |-------------| <- Heap

In debugging a Python script, I'd really like to know the entire call stack for my entire program. An ideal situation would be if there were a command-line flag for python that would cause Python to print all function names as they are called (I checked man Python2.7 , but didn't find anything of this sort). Because of the number of functions in this script, I'd prefer not to add a print statement to the beginning of each function and/or class, if possible. An intermediate solution would be to use PyDev's debugger, place a couple breakpoints and check the call stack for given points in my

Introduction Debugging a program is one of the most important steps in software development. Knowledge of VBA's debugging tools can make debugging easier and more productive. This page describes several of VBA's built-in debugging tools you can use when testing and debugging your application. Stepping Through Code One of the first methods to

In a previous question ( Get object call hierarchy ), I got this interesting answer : The call stack is not there to tell you where you came from. It is to tell you where you are going next. As far as I know, when arriving at a function call, a program generally does the following: In calling code: store return address (on the call stack) save registers' states (on the call stack) write parameters that will be passed to function (on the call stack or in registers) jump to target function In called target code: Retrieve stored variables (if needed) Return process : Undo what we did when we
