StackOverflow while generating a parser

rascal-0.40.17

Synopsis

Simple parser generation produces a StackOverflow exception.

Description

To be able to generate parsers Rascal uses stack space from the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

If you get exceptions better configure your JVM with this -Xss32m

• For Eclipse, this configuration goes into your eclipse.ini file. See Editing Eclipse Ini for more information.
• On the commandline, you can use java -Xss32m ...
• In VScode the Rascal language server already configures this automatically.
• The same for the Rascal Maven plugins; they are configured with big stack sizes.
