How to deliberately throw a StackOverflowException without using recursion?

Question

I was told that each method has a 1 mb stack. Therefore, I suggested that initializing 256 integer values ​​with a single method will throw a StackOverflowException. I tried this in code, but there was no exception.

So, how to deliberately throw a StackOverflowException without using recursion?

Answer 1

I will add another way :-)

unsafe struct FixedBufferExample { public fixed byte Buffer[128 * 1024]; // This is a fixed buffer. } 

Now this structure is 128kb :-) If you declare a local variable (of a method that does not use yield or async) of type FixedBufferExample , it should use the 128kb stack. You can quickly use your stack.

Answer 2

using

 throw new StackOverflowException (); 

Answer 3

stackalloc is probably the easiest way (assuming you want the runtime to choose the error, not you yourself):

  unsafe void Boom() { int* data = stackalloc int[512 * 1024]; // 2MB } 

Answer 4

Call your property inside your property (this is recursion, but it is so common that I should have mentioned this):

 int MyProperty { set { MyProperty = value; } }
