Oct 18, 2008 · A stack overflow is usually called by nesting function calls too deeply (especially easy when using recursion, i.e. a function that calls itself) or allocating a large amount of memory on the stack where using the heap would be more appropriate.

Jul 7, 2010 · The running out of space on the call stack is known as overflow. This is because we are trying to use more stack space than we have and the data literally overflows the stack. In the Java programming language, this results in the runtime exception java.lang.StackOverflow and will immediately halt the program.

If the melody represented a program's stack usage, a stack overflow could possibly occur at any of those five locations in the program's execution. In other words, the same underlying runaway recursion (musically represented by an ever-higher rendition of the melody) can manifest itself in five different ways.

Aug 25, 2008 · Now, on older times stack overflow could occur simply because you exausted all available memory, just like that. With the virtual memory model (up to 4GB on a X86 system) that was out of the scope so usually, if you get an stack overflow error, look for …

Dec 20, 2014 · Because the stack is a fixed size per thread, (note that the Java Spec does not require a fixed size, but most JVM implementations at the time of writing use a fixed size) and because space on the stack is needed whenever you make a method call hopefully it should now be clear why it can run out and what can cause it to run out.

So, it will go into an infinite recursion, thus filling up the stack. For each method invocation, a stack frame is allocated from the stack. Thus your code will end up allocating complete stack memory. So, for e.g, if you call this method first time with c = 0, this is how the stack grows: draw(0) draw(0) draw(0) draw(0) .. so on

A correctly written recursion should not produce a stack overflow. However, there are situations where a method can produce a stack overflow even if it was correctly implemented. For instance: A fast-growing (say, exponential) recursion. For example: the naive recursive implementation of the Fibonacci function

Dec 18, 2013 · +1 but stackoverflow can easily be raised even when there is an ending in recursion, because stack size in Java is very small and deep recursion will hit it before end of recursion is reached. So you should favor imperative style over recursion style in …

I agree that the recursion is often more concise and clearer. But when one cannot assume any limit on the depth of the recursion, it is safer to "de-recursify" as Jon Skeet suggests. After all, the stack as a data structure in a programming language and the stack as the part of the memory are called the same for a reason. –

Java 21 Maven building jar file Can not run jar - Error: Could not find or load main class I'm new to the Java Maven env so I likely have something configured wrong just don't know what it is. It builds a .jar file but when I try to run it I get: Error: Could not find or load main ...
