#3950 closed Bug (Works For Me)
Silent crash without triggering recursion warning
| Reported by: | anonymous | Owned by: | |

Description
AutoIt triggers recursion warning and exits when you reach a recursion depth of 1898, but in some instances it would fail to trigger the warning and instead simply crash silently.
I'm not certain whether it is a bug with AutoIt itself or if it is simply the Operating System terminating it defensively, it's worth investigating.

Replying to Jpm:
Hi in fact the pointed post script does not produce any error on my system
could you post an updated one?
Thanks
That's the problem, it did not produce an error when it should have. The script just crashes without producing a result. Did your system produce a result MsgBox, or did it just exit silently?

That is, if you change 1569 to a larger number.

For your convenience, here's a tweaked version that crashes silently:
local $a = enumerate(1570)
local $b = packLeft($a)
local $c = packRight($a)
msgbox(0,'foldl',foldl(addOddLeft,0,$b))
msgbox(0,'foldr',foldr(addOddRight,$c,0))
func addOddLeft($left, $right)
return $left + ($right*2 - 1)
endfunc
func addOddRight($left, $right)
return ($left*2 - 1) + $right
endfunc
func foldl($f, $x0, $xs)
return IsArray($xs[0]) ? $f( foldl($f,$x0,$xs[0]) , $xs[1] ) : $f($x0,$xs[0])
endfunc
func foldr($f, $xs, $x0)
return IsArray($xs[0]) ? $f( $xs[1] , foldr($f,$xs[0],$x0) ) : $f($xs[0],$x0)
endfunc
func foldl_FromFlatArray($f, $ini, $arr)
return foldl($f,$ini,packLeft($arr))
endfunc
func foldr_FromFlatArray($f, $arr, $ini)
return foldr($f,packRight($arr),$ini)
endfunc
func packLeft($arr)
return __packL($arr,UBound($arr)-1)
endfunc
func packRight($arr)
return __packR($arr,0)
endfunc
func unpack($arr)
return IsArray($arr[0]) ? $arr[1] & ' , ' & unpack($arr[0]) : $arr[0]
endfunc
; === Boring Internal Implementation ===
func __packL($arr, $index)
if $index>0 Then
local $a = [ __packL($arr,$index-1) , $arr[$index]]
else
local $a = [ $arr[0] ]
endif
return $a
endfunc
func __packR($arr, $index)
if $index<UBound($arr)-1 Then
local $a = [ __packR($arr,$index+1) , $arr[$index] ]
else
local $a = [ $arr[UBound($arr)-1] ]
endif
return $a
endfunc
func enumerate($n)
local $arr[$n]
for $i=0 to $n-1
$arr[$i] = $i+1
next
return $arr
endfunc
