[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Recursion depth

jkm@linus.UUCP (Jonathan K. Millen) (11/28/88)

Can the recursion depth of hypertalk be increased?  I believe it is
supposed to be 20, and I can evaluate a recursive function with a
depth of 15, but no more.  I have an application that needs deeper
recursion.  Basically, it involves parsing an algebraic expression;
it puts two or three calls on the stack for each layer of operator
nesting.

It's not possible to increase the recursion depth of HyperCard from within the product. You might be able to effect it with an XCMD, but I can't imagine how you'd do it.
