For recursion limit I think that is fine.
For just stack size limit, I think it is extremely small.
I see that in the function it allocates on 64-bit 24 bytes times
num_comps using alloca, so 48 bytes per character in the mangled name,
and a pointer for each character in the mangled name.
That is 112KB per 2048 bytes long mangled name.

Dunno how much stack can we expect to be usable.
