Question

Is there any control how much you can Recursively call something?

From a basic test program I get a recursion depth of just over 18k

which depends on the stacksize….

is there a way to set up a chunk of memory (perhaps a thread) with a massive stack to increase recursion depth?

Answer 1

I’ve increased the stack size during some documents recognition. It was really needed.

So you can increase stack size for thread using following code:

var stackSize = 10000000;
Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(BigRecursion), stackSize);

Thread(ThreadStart, Int32) —
Initializes a new instance of the
Thread class, specifying the maximum
stack size for the thread.

Hope this what you need.
