节点未引发堆栈溢出异常

Question

I'm trying to force a stack overflow with this code:

// Throws stack overflow exception

var count = 0;

try {
    (function curse() {
        console.log(count++);
        curse();
    })();
} catch (e) {
    console.log('ERROR');
    console.log(e.message);
}

However, when I run it, it prints numbers to the screen and then exits gracefully. No exception thrown, I can remove the try-catch and still no exception is output to the console.

Why don't I get an exception message dumped to the console?

Node version is v0.12.2 , V8 is 3.28.73 .

If you upgrade to the latest node.js (currently v4.1.2), you will probably be able to see the exception message dumped to the console. This seems to have been a bug in older versions of node.js.

Also, in your current version of node.js, if you took out the console.log(count++); statement, you might have been able to see the exception message. At least, that worked for me with v0.10.26.
