PHP 4.0 Bug #1901 Updated: recursive call limitation

ID: 1901 Updated by: zeev Reported By: gregori@datanetms.co.uk Status: Closed Bug Type: Reproduceable crash Assigned To: Comments: PHP 4.0 (Zend) uses the stack for intensive data, rather than using the heap. That means that its tolerance recursive functions is significantly lower than that of other languages. It's relatively easy to tell Zend not to use the stack for this data, and use the heap instead - which would greatly increase the number of recursive functions possible - in the price of reduced speed. If you're interested in such a setting, let me know, we may add a compile-time switch. Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/version4/?id=1901
