A StackOverflowError exception might indicate that infinite recursion has occurred, in which case a termination case needs to be added to the function. It also might indicate that the recursive algorithm has a proper terminating condition but has exhausted the stack anyway. In this case, try to express the algorithm iteratively instead.

Examples How to use this example
StackOverflowErrorExample.as
The following example uses the sample StackOverflowErrorExample class to show
the error generated in the event of a stack overflow. This is accomplished using the following
steps:
- The constructor calls the method
lockMachine()within an error handling code segment that catches StackOverflowError objects. - The
lockMachine()method calls itself until the stack overflows. - After the StackOverflowError is thrown, the constructor catches it and then outputs an
error message through the
tracestatement.
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.errors.StackOverflowError;
public class StackOverflowErrorExample extends Sprite {
public function StackOverflowErrorExample() {
try {
lockMachine();
}
catch(e:StackOverflowError) {
trace(e); // StackOverflowError: Error #1023: Stack overflow.
}
}
private function lockMachine():void {
lockMachine();
}
}
}
