Aug 25, 2008 · Now, on older times stack overflow could occur simply because you exausted all available memory, just like that. With the virtual memory model (up to 4GB on a X86 system) that was out of the scope so usually, if you get an stack overflow error, look for …

Dec 18, 2013 · Recovery from Stack Overflow requires total abstinence -- oops, I mean is pretty iffy. If the code was engaged in some complex operation at the time there may not be enough stack space to allow it to back out. And a lot of in-progress operations may not protect against such a failure and will fail to back out/reset at all. –

Mar 27, 2014 · When you call a method the parameters you pass to the method are being placed on the stack, and are referenced whenever you reference a method parameter. Another usage of the stack is for method local variables (i.e. variables that you defined form within a method). Stack overflow occurs when you run out of stack (how surprising).

So it's not primarily about the data, but about the call-stack depth. It's possible to implement Python in C in ways that don't so directly rely on the platform C's call stack. For example, see the "Stackless Python" experiment. That's trickier, though, and it's unlikely the core CPython implementation will ever adopt that kind of approach.

May 18, 2017 · In other words, if we calculate x/y where both x and y are double, then underflow should occur if 0 < |x/y| < 2.2251e-308 (the smallest positive normalized double is 2.2251e-308). In theory, therefore, both 1.77e-308/10 and 1.777e-308/10 should trigger an underflow exception.

Dec 7, 2009 · The stack overflows when the stack pointer is pushed out of the memory block the operating system has allocated for the stack. Some operating systems will resize the stack as it grows (IIRC Linux does this) while in others the stack size is fixed at the start of the process or thread (IIRC Windows does this).

Nov 4, 2011 · Then, when writing operations occur in the line cache, the CPU sets the dirty bit to 1 that means the line does no longer represent the copy actually present in the RAM. So if a reading operation occurs on an address in the cache whose dirty bit is set to 1, a cache miss happens.

Jul 23, 2015 · If you need a buffer that is larger than the default maximum stack size, then you could increase the stack size in the linker or dynamically-alocate the buffer at runtime. There is no need to resort to globals and/or statics - an approach …
