| Apr 18, 2015 at 20:46 | comment | added | ASCIIThenANSI | Here is the weirdest way to produce a StackOverflow. Get a time machine. Go back to 2008. Create a vote-based, community-run question-and-answer site about programming questions, where users can post their problems and get reliable results. Come back to your current time. Edit this post with the URL of your Q&A site. This should generate a StackOverflow. EDIT: I did it, here is my site: stackoverflow.com | |

I used to have a program bug that called a super-method of an overridden method by accident, causing a stack-overflow by the EventDispatcher thread, but I can't remember where nor reproduce it.

| Feb 19, 2014 at 15:44 | comment | added | Elist | #Quine# This is only an idea (one specific implementation in Java can be found here). A quine is a program that produces it's own code. If you take it a step further, you can make the code be saved to file and compiled during run time, then executed. This will not cause a classic StackOverFlow error, but a (much more risky...) disk memory overflow. | |

| Feb 18, 2014 at 20:32 | comment | added | Tim Seguine | The weirdest way to produce a stack overflow is to post a popularity-contest on codegolf.stackexchange.com asking for people to post the weirdest way to produce a stack overflow. The responders, in testing their solutions to the question, will produce a stack overflow. I haven't tested it though, so I can't be sure it works (which is why I didn't post it as an answer). | |
| Feb 18, 2014 at 20:20 | comment | added | masterX244 | post cause some compilers could accept it; (like the TeX example which relies on certain versions | |
| Feb 18, 2014 at 20:19 | comment | added | Alec Teal | Hey does it have to compile? I have given an example of one that would overflow, but compilers will refuse to compile it because the behavior is never intended, not because it is semantically wrong. (C++ - constructor to construct temporary to pass to constructor causes infinite loop at runtime) | |

| Feb 18, 2014 at 18:38 | comment | added | asgoth |
@masterX244 I mean, IE can produce javascript errors (e.g. stackoverflow at line 0), while the code runs fine in other browsers. My comment was meant to be sarcastic. Sorry if it failed.

'Stack Overflow' is a proper noun - I think you meant 'stack overflow' :-)
