Bug #11576

Inifnite recursion with inheritance provokes core dump

Added by ivo.bloechliger (Ivo Blöchliger) over 8 years ago. Updated almost 5 years ago.

ruby -v:
ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
Backport:
2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN
[ruby-core:<unknown>]

Description

Infinite recursion mixed with heritance (in the attached example with an inherited constructor) provokes a core dump.
I discovered this behavior with inherited method_missing constructs, but it also happens with inherited constructors.

I believe the example should simply raise a "Stack level too deep" exception and not a core dump.

I did some testing with Ruby versions 1.8-2.7, and 2.0, 2.3, and 2.4 crash, while the other Ruby versions do raise SystemStackError. So I think this has been addressed. All Ruby versions that are in normal maintenance mode do not crash, so I think it is safe to close this.
