As an example

var runInfinite = function(){
    while(1)
    {
       // Do stuff;
    }
};

setTimeout(runInfinite, 0);

Is it possible to break this runInfinite function form running infinite? I mean is it possible to kill this function from another function without using a flag or return statement?

    The answer is no. Since JavaScript is single-threaded ( unless you are using some less common implementation which I doubt ) nothing can break a loop ( or any other block of code ) from outside.
