Increase recursion depth

Question

How to increase stack/recursion depth of g++ in Linux?

Question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2630054/does-c-limit-recursion-depth can be useful in this case. — Mihai8, Aug 28 '21 at 22:49
@JaMiT Thanks for pointing it out. I have posted this question with an answer but mistakenly write "the following code will work" in the question itself. — Naman Jain, Aug 29 '21 at 03:44
@Mihai8 Thanks! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2630054/does-c-limit-recursion-depth is informative. — Naman Jain, Aug 29 '21 at 03:49
@NamanJain OK, that looks more understandable. So your question is a duplicate of [Change stack size for a C++ application in Linux during compilation with GNU compiler](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2275550/) — JaMiT, Aug 29 '21 at 03:51

You need to include a header file

#include <sys/resource.h>

and in the main() function you need to write these lines as...

int main(){
 rlimit R; // Unsigned integral type used for limit values.
 getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, &R);
 R.rlim_cur = R.rlim_max; // Limit on stack size. 
 setrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, &R);
 // your code
}

Learn more about <sys/resource.h> here.
