Infinite loops

[viebel]

I’m trying to understand your eval-soup in cljs. Especially, the way you prevent infinite loop

Does it catch all the cases?
For instance (print (map inc (range 10)))

It won't prevent infinite loops that consume the stack. It only prevents ones that use recur underneath.

I see.
What are interesting use cases of macros/functions that use recur
underneath?

It basically just covers loop and macros that use it, like while and doseq. I would love to cover infinite lazy seqs as well...I was hoping those would eventually lead to an out of memory exception or something.

I found an interesting way to prevent infinite loop by hacking the cljs compiler and inserting guard() calls before each if and recur statement. You can take a look here https://github.com/viebel/klipse/pull/131/files.

I'd be happy to get your thoughts on this idea...
