Recursive Observers result in stack overflow

[WearyMonkey]

var a = new can.Observe();
var b = new can.Observe({a: a});
a.attr("b", b);

The above code will result in a stack overflow during the event bubbling phase of setting b.

My current workaround, checking for recursion before triggering: c2a002a78214170ed27e1d2dad63fcbda6ba14c0

Why do you have a recursive observe?

I pulled this. Thanks! If you could let me know why you created a recursive observe. I was thinking directed acyclic.

Cheers!

Recursive observes are required for associative models which I talked about here: https://forum.javascriptmvc.com/#Topic/32525000000711090

I have been porting our ActiveRecord style models to CanJS.
