Find recursion

dotnet compact framework: Hi,

A couple of my customers have reported "StackOverflowException" - no stack
trace, cannot reproduce, outa luck. I gave myself 30 minutes and wrote some
code which found two methods in my EXE that had recursion; in both cases I
had called "this.XYZ" instead of "base.XYZ" in a "get".

I'd be happy to make the EXE available. Warning, it was written in under an
hour, not my best creation; i.e. it might not catch all recursion, hardly
tested at all, but it might help you - it sure as hell helped me. Let me
know if anyone is interested. Also, it there is any/sufficient interest,
I'd be happy to expand the functionality of it and fix bugs etc (within
reason :)).

That's interesting.

I've actually recently observed a condition where I had a method that
was overloaded. For example.

private void DoSomething(object o)
{
if (o is bool)
{
DoSomething((bool)o);
}
}

private void DoSomething(bool b)
{
// do all the work in this method.
}

This actually "sometimes" resulted in recursion. (I typed the above
code from memory, so if it isn't completly correct forgive me). I had
to solve the issue by renaming the method that accepted the bool.

I might be interested in the source of your program, but I'm too
chicken to accept exe's

Hi,

In my case it was the simple case of "return this.Bla" instead of "return
base.Bla"
