StackOverflowException in indicator crashes CTrader
13 Nov 2019, 10:55

Just an FYI... If I have an indicator that overflows the stack, it crashes the entire application in cTrader 3.6.

EDIT: I see this a feature of .net and is "by design" - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/206820/how-do-i-prevent-and-or-handle-a-stackoverflowexception

So no further action required. Still, makes it a little fun to debug this case - I had to be pretty quick attaching VS.net to the cTrader.exe process in order to see what was happening..

Hi bishbashbosh,

Can you share the indicator code as well as steps to reproduce?

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi Panagiotis,

My code was creating an infinite loop; as per update above, this is not a fault of cTrader, but a feature of the framework that StackOverflowException cannot be caught and terminates the process by default.

Cheers
