[ruby-core:93461] [Ruby master Bug#11576] Inifnite recursion with inheritance provokes core dump

Issue #11576 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).

Status changed from Open to Closed

I did some testing with Ruby versions 1.8-2.7, and 2.0, 2.3, and 2.4 crash, while the other Ruby versions do raise SystemStackError.  So I think this has been addressed.  All Ruby versions that are in normal maintenance mode do not crash, so I think it is safe to close this.

Bug #11576: Inifnite recursion with inheritance provokes core dump

* Author: ivo.bloechliger (Ivo Blhliger)

* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Infinite recursion mixed with heritance (in the attached example with an inherited constructor) provokes a core dump.
I discovered this behavior with inherited method_missing constructs, but it also happens with inherited constructors.

I believe the example should simply raise a "Stack level too deep" exception and not a core dump.
