Stack Overflow Detection
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mono supports converting a stack overflow into a
|
||
|
|
StackOverflowException that the user can use to
|
||
|
|
pinpoint problems in his software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The detection works by:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Setting up a number of guard pages below a certain
|
||
|
|
point in the thread stack and unprotect them if we get a
|
||
|
|
segv there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If a segv is caught on those pages, control is
|
||
|
|
transfered to the standard exception handling code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* During the unwinding, the stack pages are protected
|
||
|
|
again.
