Subject: Re: recursion limit exceeded in Python API, but there's only one function in traceback
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2014 09:31:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMQQO3kehAHCMQkEOsU8kak5j=CdwZqKEy6_nHubWJF4F3A+Lg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm still having this problem. I just tried this:

  def handler():
      gdb.execute("continue")
      print "continue returned"

This doesn't print anything, until the script fails with "maximum
recursion depth". Then it prints lots of "continue returned" lines.

So the problem is `gdb.execute` doesn't immediately return and that's
causing Python stack to grow, because GDB is calling this function
without returning anything to previous calls.

I think I need a version of `gdb.execute` that returns immediately.
ie. async version or something like that. Is such a thing possible?

Thanks again.
