set max-user-call-depth (gdb mode only)

Syntax

set max-user-call-depth num  

Parameters

Description

This command sets the maximum number of recursion levels a user-defined command may have. If the number of recursion levels in a user-defined command exceeds num, the debugger assumes an infinite recursion and aborts the command.

Example

The following example starts by creating a user-defined command named ff.

(idb)  define ff
Type commands for definitions of "ff".
End with a line saying just "end".
>p $deep
>if $deep > 10
 >p "Got to 11"
 >else
 >set $deep = $deep + 1
 >ff
 >end
>end
(idb)  set $deep = 0

TThe user-defined command stack gets to 11 deep.

(idb)  ff
$85 = 0
$86 = 1
$87 = 2
$88 = 3
$89 = 4
$90 = 5
$91 = 6
$92 = 7
$93 = 8
$94 = 9
$95 = 10
$96 = 11
$97 = Got to 11
(idb)  set max-user-call-depth 4
(idb)  set $deep = 0
(idb)  ff
$98 = 0
$99 = 1
$100 = 2
$101 = 3
Max user call depth exceeded -- command aborted.
