RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

[imikael21]

Hello,

I recently ran into a problem that I assume is due to node.js stack size limitation. From V8 engine documentation, the stack is limited to around 1MB by default. In my case I actually generated a rather heavy xhtml value in Opa, whose size might be close to this limit. When trying to build the web page with this xhtml value, I get a stack size error from node.js : "RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded"

Therefore I have two questions :

• Is it possible to increase this limit ? I tried specifying the --stack_size parameter to the node.js executable, but it does not seem to be taken into account. The stack size limit remains at 1Mb whichever value I pass in the command line. I am using latest node.js version (v0.10.24)
• In my opinion this limitation is somehow due to the fact that all Opa values are allocated in the stack, rather than in the heap. Is that correct ? Would it be possible to use memory allocation in the heap instead, which I guess is much less limited than the stack ?

Yours sincerally,
Mikael
