Current limits are fine, but also meaningless since you can trivially bypass them? If so why not raise the limits if they're only serving to have everyone implement their own bespoke stacks.
- quotemstr 9y agoThe ulimit serves as a good reminder that excessive stack use is undesired.
- avar 9y agoIt's not a reminder if Linux's default configuration is to hard limit it at 32768, that means that if you need 32769 of stack you need to hack your own implementation for your program to be portable, or otherwise the user must be able to "sudo".
