6254,segmentation fault when different signals call each other,Juan.Arrieta@…,Douglas Gregor,"I was playing around with boost/signal and I came up with the following code:


{{{
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<iostream>
#include<boost/signal.hpp>

boost::signal<void ()> SIG1;
boost::signal<void ()> SIG2;

void f1(){
std::cout<<""f1 called""<<std::endl;
SIG2();
}

void f2(){
std::cout<<""f2 called""<<std::endl;
SIG1();
}

int main(){
SIG1.connect(&f1);
SIG2.connect(&f2);
SIG1();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

}}}

When I compile and run (g++ 4.0.1 Apple Inc. build 5490 / boost v. 1.48), the I get 12,478 lines of the form:

{{{
f1 called
f2 called
}}}

after the 12,478th line, I get a segmentation fault.

I would have expected the call to continue endlessly (until hitting Ctrl-C), but this is not the case.

Is this the intended behavior?

I understand it is silly to call ""recursively"" as in the example, but this was intended as a test.

Thank you.

PS. Please review the ""severity"" accordingly - this may not even be a bug.
