By the looks of it, apart from starting another process, there doesn't seem to be any way of handling a StackOverflowException
. Before anyone else asks, I tried using AppDomain
, but that didn't work:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
namespace StackOverflowExceptionAppDomainTest
{
class Program
{
static void recrusiveAlgorithm()
{
recrusiveAlgorithm();
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if(args.Length>0&&args[0]=="--child")
{
recrusiveAlgorithm();
}
else
{
var domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("Child domain to test StackOverflowException in.");
domain.ExecuteAssembly(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().CodeBase, new[] { "--child" });
domain.UnhandledException += (object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e) =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Detected unhandled exception: " + e.ExceptionObject.ToString());
};
while (true)
{
Console.WriteLine("*");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
}
}
}
}
If you do end up using the separate-process solution, however, I would recommend using Process.Exited
and Process.StandardOutput
and handle the errors yourself, to give your users a better experience.
