Java: Stackoverflow in finite recursion

I wrote a javaCC parser for some propositional logic expressions. The expressions can get pretty long, 30k many characters.

When I parse such big expressions, I get a stack-overflow exception.

Is there maybe some VM parameter which determines the stack size?

Or what would you do in such cases?

Thanks

Solution

  • Yes, use the -Xss parameter. e.g.:

    java -Xss4m Blah

    sets the stack-size to 4MB.
