Re: Commit: Sync libiberty and add --no-recurse-limit option to binutils

Certainly. 2048 does the trick.
What actually happened was that I ran the libiberty testsuite with v1 of
the patch, and the 1024 limit worked. But then when I changed the patch
to move the recursion counters into the work structures, I forgot to retest
the patch. The problem was then that the recursion counter was now shared
between multiple functions, and so the 1024 limit was not enough. Since I
only changed three functions I guessed that doubling the limit would be enough,
and testing showed that this was true.
So...
Is this patch OK ?
Cheers
Nick
