Tcl_SetRecursionLimit - set maximum allowable nesting depth in interpreter
#include <tcl.h>
int
Tcl_SetRecursionLimit(interp, depth)
- Tcl_Interp *interp (in)
-
Interpreter whose recursion limit is to be set.
Must be greater than zero.
- int depth (in)
-
New limit for nested calls to Tcl_Eval for interp.
At any given time Tcl enforces a limit on the number of recursive
calls that may be active for Tcl_Eval and related procedures
such as Tcl_GlobalEval.
Any call to Tcl_Eval that exceeds this depth is aborted with
an error.
By default the recursion limit is 1000.
Tcl_SetRecursionLimit may be used to change the maximum
allowable nesting depth for an interpreter.
The depth argument specifies a new limit for interp,
and Tcl_SetRecursionLimit returns the old limit.
To read out the old limit without modifying it, invoke
Tcl_SetRecursionDepth with depth equal to 0.
