Description ehucka 2005-11-28 09:05:11 UTC 
I have an automated test profiling an application containing about 1000 methods
called one from other. It produces StackOverflowError if there is set EAGER
instrumentation scheme.

Can you please specify what test app this is?

Comment 3 ehucka 2005-12-06 11:47:32 UTC 
I found the automated tests with this application end with java error on solaris
machines. But I cannot find the error log on these machines yet (test processes
are running by nohup).

Tests running on windows return the StackOverFlow:

Tests executed on linux are ok.

Is the java error a different issue?
Comment 4 iformanek 2005-12-10 16:37:01 UTC 
This is not a P2, for those reasons:
- the profiled application needs to require a very large stack
- this only happens in eager instrumentation scheme, which is not used by 
default for any of the predefined profiling tasks.

The stack requirements at the tool side if eager scheme is used is ~ 3x the 
required stack depth of the profiled application.

The only way to fix this is to change the behavior of eager scheme not to work 
recursively.

Not going to fix in 1.0, lowering to P4, as the constellation of things is very 
unlikely. 

Suggest to modify the test for eager to be just below the limit of stack depth 
the tool side can handle (or modify the stack depth of the VM when running the 
test to be able to handle the stack depth required by the current test).
