Subject: unbounded recursive call in a shell script crashes zsh
Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2017 15:00:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2960832.nVDpiBkaWZ@kdudka-nb> (raw)

The following shell script crashes zsh (tested with zsh-5.3.1-90-g63f086d):

    function foo() {
        if true; then
            foo
        fi
    }

    foo

Is it expected?

I tried to interpret the script with zsh-4.3.11 and it did not crash:

    $ zsh /tmp/test.zsh
    foo:1: job table full or recursion limit exceeded

The script is a minimal example taken out from a powerline sourced script,
for which the crash was originally reported at:
